Bought Another TL!!!

So i sold my previous 2004 acura tl 6MT grey to my dad almost 1.5 years ago and was driving a 2010 civic si sedan for a while but didnt feel the same as the tl, so i ended up picking up a 2008 Acura TL type S 6MT last week. below are pictures of old tl and new tl.

KBP and CBP in 6MT Type S's are the unicorns of the TL world. When you're ready to sell, it won't last a week.

Congrats and welcome back!

to be correct Ebony/Silver is the one that has black leather with bronze color insert on the middle, the other one are Taupe/Ebony which is solid light tan color with Ebony stitching on the door panel.

So when I ask Ebony meaning if he has actual two tone leather.

Congrats to the OP - they are tough to find! I know...I spent months looking for mine when I bought it...

Anyone interested in obtaining this rare unicorn and starting another potential thread of the year can pop over to the Black Market and find mine for sale

thanks for all the comments guys, any input on what wheels would look good on this car? 2 front ones are a little curbed up and wouldnt mind picking up a new set of oem 18" or go with something else?

Do a search for Ronjon Legends on this site. There are many members with 18" and 19" as well as lots of pics.

Sorry, don't mean to jack the thread, but how did I end up with a 2008 TL-S with all black interior. It is not two-tone, so could it be special order?

Damn, love that color. I wish I had the time to wait and find a nice type-s but looks like I will be stuck with just a regular Tl. Gonna be a totally different animal then I'm used to.
