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.

 

welcome back and congrats on the new S.

 

Lets see how long it takes him to change his mind about mods.....lol...jk, nice car!

 

haha thats what i said too, but then the mod addiction took me over!!!

 

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.

 

The new type-s will keep me satisfied for now ... grass might be greener later on when the newer model coming out ... LOL ... reserve the right to change my mind ...

 

shoulda swapped out the rims, even though they kinda look the same, your old rims kicked ass compared to the TL-S ones.

 

Welcome back

It won't be long before you start modding ....

 

Sweet! Welcome back to the forum...i was wondering where you went. You'll definitely enjoy the kinetic TL.

 

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

 

^^x2 except for the interior i have Black/Silver. Enjoy the car man. Where is the KBP thread? I seen threads for other colors but not this one.

 

great choice with the color combination I think it is by far the best looking color on the TL...

 

exactly.
I couldnt resist.

 

..saw a kinetic tonight while sitting outside of the starbucks and the blue is especially sexy under the flourescent light.

 

Welcome back! Acurazine now has over 100,000+ members!

 

Yesterday I passed by the Acura dealer near my daughter's house in PA.

They had a KBP TL-S right out front to get everyone into the dealer

The car really attracts attention.

 

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.

 

I still have the Volks. I'd throw them on the new car but I want to avoid having to lower it. As we all now, you can't go with 19" wheels and not lower the car without it looking goofy. I'll probably end up selling them later but for now, I'll hold on to them incase things change.

 

Don't worry about the wheel gap, just throw the volks on there you'll be fine. I had to drive around on 19s for 16,000 miles before the tein coilovers were released on the market.

 

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 : Put the Volks on, it'll look fine even without lowering.

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

 

Hey Bob ... R U one of those old timers as well? At least you went for a RL, nothing else .. LOL ...

 

That's it... I'm going to leave for good this time! You guys are a bad influence!
