I'm back!
Well, I've been away from the forum for about 2 years and now I'm back. I've upgraded from an 04' Anthracite 5AT Non-Nav to an 07' Kinetic Blue Pearl Type-S 5AT. I picked the new car up on Tuesday but I waited until I had some pics before posting.
First, here is my 04' AM.
This car was great. The only mods done to it were Comtech springs and 19' Volk SF Winnings.
And now, the KBP. I don't plan on doing any mods save for tint and maybe an I-Pod adaptor.
I couldn't resist the KBP. At first I thought it would be too flashy and draw too much attention to itself. But at the end of the day, who cares! I like it and that's all that matters to me.
Well, that's it for now. I'll be hanging out in the forum more now as I try and learn as mutch about the new car as I can.

Honestly guys, I'm done with mods. 
There were mods I considered for my AM. CAI, clreared/smoked headlights and other cosmetic mods. I was able to resist doing those so I think I'll be alright not modding the new car. But I guess there is a chance I may end up eating crow later.

Welcome Back...
I have the same KBP and I love it.
I may be one of the few people who actually like the stock TL-S rims. I may change them when I need new tires, but that won't be for at least 40,000 mi!!..
Enjoy your ride

Thanks everyone!
The wheels are starting to grow on me. When I first saw them, in pictures and on the road, I didn't like them. I think seeing them up-close changes things. I still think Acura should have gone with 18's and a lower ride height for the Type-S if only to give it a more aggressive look. All in all though, I can't really complain about the way it looks, and I certainly can't complain about the way it handles.

Hey, Welcome back! Like everyone else, I was wondering where a lot of the familiar names went to since I joined AZ. I still think you had one of the hottest looking 04s back then. Good to have you back.

Welcome back, automata! It's good to see another fellow original 04 owner back, one who didn't trade to another type of car. My

As far as not modding.....if you spend time hanging out here again, you'll be eating crow sooner than you think!
