5 years,paid,review and new Aspecs

Well after 5 years I just sent my final payment on my 07 type-s I bought new 5 years ago on April 18. Words cannot express how much I STILL LOVE THIS CAR. Besides the regular wear and tear the only problem I've had and still do is the damn "tighten gas cap" code and when I open her up I get a rotten egg smell sometimes.The dealer replaced the EGR (under warranty) about a year and a half ago to clear the code but it still pops.I'm def going back to get her checked before 70k expires. As of now she has 60k and runs still runs like the day I took her off the showroom floor. I plan on keeping this car until the wheels fall off. Only use synthetic oil, plus gas and I just spent 200+ on upkeep supplies. I've been slacking alil but Buzz is BACK!!!! Just threw some slotted/cross drilled rotors and aspecs on and she feels like a new car.

Day I got her


New and Stock with my old baby the 3.0 cl I miss


started modding alil


modded some more

white hids

blue hids



Her as she sits today




new rotors (sorry for the quality)


New cleaning supplies to keep up with her

What’s not to like about a car with WDP, it is definitely well cared for as it looks as if it were just driven off the showroom floor, and good luck with the next 60k miles.

Thanks, I try. I have a little few rock chips but overall she's very clean. This was my first NEW car but 12th overall. I get bored quick but for some reason the TL just does it for me all around. I still get the good feeling when I get in like the day I took her home.The maintanence is easy and not that expensive,looks great even after 5 years, it's just an all around great car. I'm hoping to take her another 160k. Now that I'm getting back into it......I WAS happy with the height but I see coilovers in the very near future and it being dumped. You guys are bad influences

Ha ha I was wondering, thanks, the stickers I had for a while since the cl days...threw them on like the day I got my car. I think they have an azine store now you can get them. I did a favor for a mod so he hooked it up.

Car looks great! I'm only about 6 payments in, so I've got awhile before I can make a thread like this, but I'm thinking I'll be holding on to this that long and longer.

I also think your stance looks really nice as is. Is that springs on stock struts?

It's a good feeling to have your car paid off. I like the Aspec wheels much better than the others too....
