03 CL-S to 07 TL-S Upgrade :P

I still miss my CL-S...




The tranny on the CL-S downshifted to second gear at freeway speeds and almost made me crash. Acura gave a reburbished tranny that started acting up so i had to trade her in.The car just didnt feel safe anymore.
I now drive a 07 TL-S

Awesome upgrade...hope to make the same in a few years myself. TL-S is hot.

What did you do with your stock TL-S wheels? I want some for my CL-S. And btw what exhaust was that you had on the CL?

^^ I have the stock TL-S wheels in my garage in case i bend one of my aftermarket ones. Dont have plans to sell them.
The exhaust on the CL-S was the HKS super dragger, just the mufflers...

Man you're probably one of three people in this whole forum's history who've upgraded their cars and still stayed in the same brand. Everyone else goes BMW.

Congrats, I'd love to have one myself ..

He lives in Cali, that's just asking for trouble. I get pulled over every 2-3 weeks for it, only one ticket so far.

You bastards in Vegas can even tint your windshield.

My exhaust is kinda loud to be attracting even more attention with front tints. I think im gonna save the tints for later.
Thx for the comments, im in love with Acura again :P. That sucky tranny issue was a real pain in the ass. My CL-S had so much for life left in her...

I don't drive like an idiot. Most of the time cops have no reason to pull me over other than my "illegally modified car" (tinted tail lights, tinted windows, no front license plate, white turn signals) and I make up some bullshit about how it came with the car or whatever and they check out my ins./registration and let me go.

ooo ya if i had my wish it would be the 6 series or m6. But i dont trust the reliability of bmw. too expensive to fix, insurance is out of sight, and in terms of quality bmw, mercedes, volvo, porsche, saab are all crap esp. compared to the japanese companies. i think we ALL know that

yeah tell me about it I had my front windshield on my benz tinted, but it gets hot as hell out here, and it looks with everything tinted. I'm not even quite sure if it is legal to tint windshields out here but I never got hassled about it ... we can tint out quite a bit but at least you don't have to deal with 110+ degree heat

Since my last post, I've gotten a tint ticket (for both tail lights and windows)..

I think I'll take the 110+ heat thanks very much.
