Just got 03 TL Type-S White Diamond Pearl last week
Hi everyone,
New to this forum since this is my first Acura car. I own mostly Lexus GS series before. Love this TL-S car. Very nice car for it already has about 90K mi on it. Everything is stock right now.

On the title it said 2003 TL-S. I'm not familiar what the difference bt. 02 and 03 models. Anyhow, I'll take some pics tonight and you guys tell me what year it is. WDP with ebony leather interior. I don't much like the black interior. I would prefer a more lighter color like cashmere or something similar.
Just order OEM matching paint WDP spoiler for $240 shipped. You guys think it's reasonable? This will be my first mod.

I think that's reasonable but not the cheapest. I bought my off a member here for about $130 shipped to Canada and it's OEM. I also believe there's a guy selling OEM spoilers for less than $200 but I'm not sure if he has WDP or not.
Anyways, congrats! WDP ftw!

I also have 06 GS430 and it's Crystal Diamond Pearl with cashmere leather. I love the color combo. Wish my acura is the same way. This acura surely has good pickup from dead start. Seems alot faster than my GS430 V8.

Pick up a set of HID lights for the fog lights. It makes driving at night so much easier. You cand find $100 plug and play kits on ebay. I stuck with the stock 4300k output. Also if you can find the OEM body kit (it's rare) but worth the search/price. Congrats and hope to see you posting more on the forum.

Here is the OEM spoiler I was talking about:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GENUI...Q5fAccessories
Unfortunately they don't have WDP (the one in that link is Taffeta White).
Man, I want black interior now....and also the OEM navigation system....
By the way, are you serious about the TL being a lot faster than your GS??

That's a very good price for OEM white spoiler. I paid $240 for it. Just hoping that the paint will match the car.

I feel ya. I've been very patient looking for 02-03 TLS for sometime. It's so rare the tls has nav. I've seen some reg tl have nav.

WDP FTW! the mod bug has bit me too despite having almost NO cash. K&N drop in and tint are all for now, but i have ALOT of plans. as soon as i get a jorb and start making the payments, a drop, sways, rims and IHS (intake headers spacers) are gonna happen.
