Has anyone heard of when those sweet Type S gauges are going to be in stock?

I really want to replace my standard gauges with the Type S set because, well, they look cool.

 

they are nice, and good price too...i cant believe i have them...its second nature to me now...looks great though...Shyne

 

I don't think Tim will be getting those anytime soon....or if ever I believe. I'll hook you up with mines! you just need to pay the price of how much my dealer wants em for! Keep in mind, only people with the Type S can order the gauges, mind you they need the VIN# :p

 

unless you have hookups you can get the type s with out even owning a tl and get it cheaper than dealer but still god damn expensive!!!

 

hey i would try talking to the part department at you dealer...the guy at duval acura here in jax, fl simply went into the show room pulled the vin on the display car and ordered the tl-s gauges for me..no problem i guess it is up to the parts guy if he wants to be a cool or be a prick.....

How much were the gauges???

 

ElegantTL, thanks for the offer. If my dealer doesn't want to hook me up then I'll definitely be getting in touch with you.

Thanks for the recommendation shawite.

asiankidd, where have you seen a way to get the gauges without owning a Type S?

 

for that matter why couldn't you get a VIN off of any Type S car at the dealer or at the mall shopping lot and use it?

 

How about visiting the junkyard?

 

i have friend that work at acura dealer...he hooks it up with all kind of parts.....

 

Does anyone know if the TLS and CLS gauges are the same??

I need to get some new gauges for my TL, and I wanted to get some TLS gauges or CLS gauges if they are the same..

And those who have purchased them from the dealer, how much did you get them for??

 

sales tax in So FL is 6%.
Believe the 3 gauges were $85.xx before tax.
Put them in myself in about 45 min.
Look and work great. They were in stock - no order.
Just walked up to parts counter at dealership, didn't quote
phoney VIN. They might have used one (unknown to me).
Good luck!

Raver, check you PM

 

Eric,
Did you really scew-up your gauge needle?
I feel your pain man.

 

Paul,

yeah.. I think I did.. It's worse than the first day.. now it's off by 50mph.. So I could go 100, and my speedo will say 150!!

Also, somehow I managed to scratch my fuel gauge, I think it was because when I was taking off the sticky tape, I used my fingernail to get off some of the harder parts and caused it to scratch..

You wouldn't happen to have the part numbers for those gauges would you?? That is a great price if the dealer were really able to get them to you..

 

Some pics would be nice to Raver.

 

The type-s gauges will not fit 99, only 00+, right ?

 

99TL -> 02 TLS
TCS won't work, gear indicator doesn't match (4 SP & 5 SP)
00,01TL -> 02 TLS
TCS won't work

 

Why don't you just go to a junk yard and see if there are any type S's around.

 

would it really be a problem having the transmission indicator not line up? or would it just be the bottom where it says 1 (or whatever it says dont know cause i have a 99).
