Well, some of you may remember me...but unfortunatly I was not here for very long.

This is what I used to have...


2006 TL w/Navi

This is what I traded it for...


2011 Xterra Pro-4x (job changed i drive alot more and ended up hating it)

And now I am back with this......HAPPIER THEN EVER!!!





2007 WDP Type-S.

The car has only had one owner, garage kept, 55k, and defines the term MINT! I couldn't be happier, I loved and missed my old TL but this is a totally different car, so much more fun to drive!

Shes definetly a keeper and I look forward to being back on this forum!

 

Welcome back to the Thunder Dome. BITCH!

 

Welcome back and congrats on great pickup.

 

Nice upgrade!!!

 

Some people dont understand why i went from a 2011 vehicle to this car but obviously these are people who have never driven a 3G TL

 

very nice ... car seems to be in great shape

 

Wow, gorgeous Type-S! Congrats

 

welcome back, nice upgrade lol.

 

nice..it came with the base bumper? or you switched it up?

 

Welcome back, Redsand.

But wait...why does your Type S have a Base TL nose on it?

 

I dont know, I wondered the same thing. But the car is legit. No accidents, and everything matches up. Its definitely a Type-S though. The price was too good to ask questions. And to be honest, I dont mind it lol. I prefer the way the fog light openings slant inward rather then outward.

 

If you bought it from a dealership, I would definitely ask about it.

 

Congrats!
Base nose.......... Wat makes it base?

Ok i see now. I had to go outside to see the difference

 

It was a trade at a BMW dealership, so I doubt they would even know what I am talking about. I have to call the salesman in the morning about something completely un-related anyway so it cant hurt to ask.

 

Be sure to ask him. They might not even realize that the bumper is a Base TL's. Maybe they can shed some light on what happened to the car. It might shed some light on the background of the vehicle.

 

Good point. I will see what they say. Despite the carfax being clean, closely inspecting the entire car from top to bottom before I signed any papers showed no signs of any bad history. And I am very, very cautious of that before purchasing a car.

Either way, I can live with it. It is barely noticeable to me.

 

I was thinking that they might be able to give you the name and phone number of the previous owner. Many times, a Carfax doesn't tell the entire story.

 

Well, at this point I think I would rather let it go and just never know the answer. If i were to find out something I dont wanna hear it would put a dark cloud over this thing and I dont wanna have to think about that lol.

Its a nice car, it is what it is and I am just going to enjoy it

 

Good for you! Now change your Avatar to your new ride!

Welcome back congrats on the Type S

 

thanks all for the warm welcome! Not a fan of the bulky 07-08 a-spec lip so this car makes it pretty easy to slap the non-type-s a-spec lip on!

 

Nice upgrade.

 

I almost got a WDP too, but ended up with a CBP. Congrats!

 

gorgeous car, love the color combo inside

 

I asked the dealer about the bumper this morning. Im looking forward to a call back out of curiosity. I cant imagine the truth behind it being too shady, I bought the car in princeton and the previous owner traded it for a brand new 7 series lol.

With that being said, where is the best place to source out a base A-spec lip? I see a seller on ebay with them color matched for $260. Before I get screwed I want to see if there are any other vendor options...

 

Nice upgrade.

 

Congrats Welcome back to AZ! Register your TL at www.myacura.com. Save your Navi and Radio codes there.

 

Nice choicee!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! If anyone has a WDP 07-08 A-Spec lip (base or Type-s), hit me up!

 

To answer your question, ask AckTL05 about the A-Spec lip. Not sure if there is a GB going on, but if there is, you can get it for a good price.

 

interesting Type-S, ignorance is bliss i guess. welcome back! its nice to kno that if u had to pick a TL again u would still go 3g and not 4g

 

Welcome back!

 

Welcome, my fellow SJ'er!

 

nicee welcome to the WDP crew!

 

Very nice! What's the difference between the base and type s nose? I googled pictures but couldn't see a difference!

 

yeah, the bumper doesn't really concern me too much as hood has the original vin plate therefor whatever reason the type-s bumper is not there could not have been too serious. plus, im just gonna either replace it with the correct bumper or make the a-spec lip fit. havent decided yet

Heres a fresh iphone driveway shot...I have never gotten so many compliments on a car in such a short time

 

very nice

 

It was wrecked for sure....sad

But it looks like they did great work putting her back together!

 

OP has a base bumper

[/QUOTE]

Here is a Type S bumper should look like. Hint take a good look at the fog light and the curve!








Most likely the bumper was damage during the accident then they replace it with a base bumper instead.
