In Canada hey we get special models like the Acura CSX (and the CSX Type S (Civic Si with more HP)) the EL and and some LMTD. EDT. Civic packages.
There are soooo many of these EL's and CSX's on the road here!
Crazy hey!
I probably will have better luck sourcing one from Canada. I just dont know where to look

Thanks man,

No i did not get at a dealer.
Its a long story how i got it...
At the dealership, the original owner just happened to be there the same day the car arrived on the truck, and he asked to go see it.
The amazing thing because he was in the NAVY, the car only has 50000miles / 75000km

How much lower do you think I need to go without being undrivable?
I'm -3" right now and scrape on some exits and speed bumps.
In my city, i think im close to the limit - or at it, no one really rides low because of it.
It sits different on the other rims, with lots of tire rub, im still rubbing right now...
I think the rims make the car look higher...
I guess for now the stealth clean street look is good...

Looking at your pictures inspires me to take good care of my A-spec too. Your car is clean bro. My NHB is with blue inserts all around. But after installing apexi ws2 cat-back, i've kinda lost my feeling for my car. It sounds amazing but hangs too low. It kinda gives the look of those home made civics. Plus theres lots of vibration and noise under heavy acceleration. Looking at you, I feel guilty of neglecting my car. I'll try to bring it up on par with yours next spring.
Keep it up bro...

I'm pretty @#$!'n low by where I live's standards.
The sway bar is Tein too.
The angle of the pictures makes it look high.
My car has the double take effect, look again at the side view.
Anymore where I live and Ill not be able to travel more than a couple clicks or get in my driveway.
Thats low enough. I love cars when the butt is a tad higher than the nose. Looks more agressive. lowered integras/ludes are that way too...

Old thread but I've been trying to find a close up of the aluminum door sills and everyone takes pics of the interior but non of the sills. Love that spoiler on the rear! Just found a junk yard with two blue TL's and asked them about some parts. Found one TL for $1600 in really good condition too. Wish I had the cash I'd drive up and snag it.
I didn't really care for the two-toned seats and was surprised this one didn't have them.
Why do some have the Honda inspire grill and some of the acura? Did they come with acura and ones swapped the inspire one on?

If I get some time I'll take some pictures. On the A-Spec they blacked out most parts that were typically chrome.

I know this an old thread, but I am new here and just stumbled across this and I must say, damn that's a sexy car. I just bought a Black 2002 TL Type-S. Love the way yours looks both outside and inside. Wish mine had the black interior.

Thanks man! I don't drive her much anymore, and keep her under cover. The biggest issue has been failing clearcoat on the roof and trunk lid.

Wow, really enjoyed reading this thread! My husband has an Eternal Blue Pearl 2002 TL Type-S, and yes, when someone would get lucky enough to be allowed to ride in it similar no-eating/drinking/breathing rules applied
It is always nice to see a car taken care of with such love... Ours is also in the garage now most of the time, but I don't think a sale will ever be considered)))
