Just bought my first '08 Nighthawk Black Pearl TL Type-S!
Looking forward to learning more from this site and hopefully add a few mods to the car as time goes on

Welcome and congrats! This is a wonderful place. But beware, some mods require you to have deep pockets... Post pics of your car!

Welcome

Make sure you check out our vendors and research around on what type of mods you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks for all the love Azine! Everything on here has been so useful so far, learning a lot and definitely going to try to start a few mods once I have more $$

Good luck with the paint, I'm filled with dread when a customer calls with NHP paint. About half the time, the clear coat is sticky and I have to go through all my polishes to see which ones will actually wipe off the paint. Looks great if you can get it right but most of the time its beyond the scope of the average person.

You might want to join up at autopia.org (its a detailing website) and read through the forums, should make your color a lot easier to maintain.

The car overall looks to be in great shape!
