Deja vu

Three years ago I bought a stock NBP TL-P for my wife which soon became my everyday driver.

We needed a second car and I figured why screw with what works.

Just got it yesterday.

Fire Pepper Red!

37,000 miles

Spotless inside and out

Let the mods begin.......Again

Totally agree with the Kit and the drop! I'll put my 5Zigen 5zr's on the FPR when I put my RonJons back on the NBP for the summer.
Was originally looking for more of a junker but with the low mileage I just couldn't resist this one. Now I need some funds so I can get moving.

WOW...really nice. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for the FPR with 37k?

My girlfriend is going to be getting an RSX (The TL is too big for her). I'm gonna mod the hell outa that thing when she gets it, lol.

$9895 - Private Seller
I looked at about a dozen or so cars and two or three TL's all with over 80K miles but I could not resist this.

The acura site lists the color as Redondo Red Pearl but the TL picture thread only has a Fire Pepper Red section???
Which is it?

i think there were a few redondo reds in 2003 - there are a few 2nd gens that are rrp instead of fpr.

looks like my fpr when i first bought it! let the mods begin!

I don't know if they classify that color is Redondo Red Pearl (RRP), but that is certainly NOT the same color/shade as the 3rd gen RRP which is a more vibrant red. (I'm staring at the one in our driveway now)
