I plan on getting it tinted this week. I'm looking to go 15% all around since 30/35% seems too light. Especially since my interior is a light color as well.

It should have A spec lips on front bumper and rear bumper. Also should have lowered suspension.

My front Bumber has upside down U shape and it is about an inch lower then friends 08 TL. I though that it was because it is type-s.

So that means i got at 07 TL Type-S A-Spec

Thanks

Bought a 2007 Type-S in CBP w/ Ebony/Silver Interior and 29K miles Wednesday at 9:00pm. I pick it up tomorrow and can't wait. Sale price was $25,795 certified.

How many of you bought the extended warranty to put the bumper to bumper at 7 years/100K miles?

2008 TL Type S

Would some dealer use gray and carbon-bronze-pearl synonymously? I just came to terms for a 2008 TL Type S CBP for $22K...it has 55K miles on it. It's not certified...I'm not getting it from an Acura dealership. Is it worth getting the extended warranty? If so, where would some potential good deals be?

I bought my 07 TL-S with 50K miles certified at an acura dealership and took it back to the dealership twice for some common, yet pricey repairs on our TL-S'. I'd look into the acura care 120K mile warranty.

What are some of the "common, yet pricey" repairs I should expect. I appreciate all the information and advice available on this forum.

35% all around is perfect for where I live. The sun down there is a bit stronger so definitely go darker for functionality. 15% all around for you should be great.

vmodi89 - where did you get your car? I got mine in Virginia as well.

I agree..I'd like to know myself. I've been reading about the engine knocking and that's got me worried a little bit.I just bought a Moroccan Red 07 Type S Monday with 57k miles for $21k and I'm pretty satisfied, seeing as I traded from an 04 TSX. And yet another VA purchase..where did you get y'alls from? The lot had at least 8 Type-S when I was last there.

I got it since I am planning on keeping for at least 5 years. The extended warranty would at least get me another 4 years.

I got it from Radley Acura, where did you get it from?

Got it tinted last week. I went with 35% in the front and 20% in the rear. I would of went with 20% all around, but the guy said the limit in Texas is 35% for the front and that I may get a hard time getting the inspection done. Not sure how true that is, because I see so may cars with what looks like 15% or darker in the front. Anyways, I dont notice much of a difference between the two shades once they were installed. I will post some pics when I get a chance here in a week or two.

2007 Type S CBP for 16,500 w/76,300 miles

Picking mine up tomorrow. 2007 Type S CBP for 16,500 w/76,300 miles. Got an extended warranty for 1,534 3yr/36K.

Total $18,034

Car runs like a dream, but I will probably have to put some $ into it to get every perfect....its all I could afford for a Type S. Either this or wait a long time before I could get inside this car.

I was looking for a 6spd and they were pretty scarce in TX around the time I was looking. Only two that I know of became available in the DFW area within a month and they were sold quick. I got mine from VA

Thanks! I almost got an 01 a few years back but then ended up with an Accord at that time. I really liked the interior on yours

Got my 2007 ASM TL-S with 15k miles...literally brand new condition from a private seller. Paid 25k + Tax. A tad bit higher than what I was expecting to pay but the condition of the vehicle is an absolute 10. I'm a longterm keeper so it's worth it.

TL-s kit being ordered this week.

I just bought a 2007 CBP TL-S yesterday for 24k with 40k miles on it (Certified). I live in Irvine, CA area. Another Infiniti dealership actually had a car with less miles on it for about the same price, but the 4.9% APR killed the deal.

I LOVE THE TL-S.
