I'm the proud new owner of a 03 WDP TL-S
Well after much debate I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a 2003 TL-S. The car had the tranny replaced in 2009 buy an Acura dealership so that made me feel much better.
The girl that owned the car took EXTREME care of the car. They had all the paperwork for all the work done to the car (oil changes, tire rotations, etc.) The interior looks like it came right off the show room. I plan to polish the paint this weekend and then I will post pics.
I love the car already, lets just hope this redesigned tranny won't let me down (at least make it until may of next year when I graduate from school).
So yeah I just wanted to make an official post being a new owner. I look forward to learning and hopefully helping many of you.

Ok you win. Keep in mind that the car is filthy right now. Saturday I will be stripping the car of wax, claybar, wash again, remove all swirls and scratches with polish with menzerna polishes, then a nice couple layers of collinite (might use opti-seal haven't decided yet). Ok enough talk here she is....
I want to get rid of the moonroof visor but it appears that being on there so long, it may have ruined the paint. I'm going to try to buff it out this weekend but I think it might not be repairable. We shall see.
Oh and here is my other toy...

Well I have been talking to the seller for a few weeks now. We recently had some flooding here in Louisville which claimed the life of my '95 accord (was my beater car) so I had to replace it somewhat quickly. I was looking at either the TL-S or Lexus GS, or I almost went the route of getting something really cheap with high mile and just drive it for the next 9 months or so (I graduate from college in May).
The condition of this car is one of the best, if not THE best, I have seen for a car with 95k miles. It's going to really shine once I get a entire day to detail it.
you really dont see alot of tastefully modified civics... but yours is very very well done
