if you stick around and read a bit, you'll learn a lot!!!!!!!

with that being said; i'll direct you to the 3G TL garage, where DIY's are found.

PITA to just switch the bulbs

Should have got a Type-S

I would bring the maintenance up to par if it isn't already. Aspec kit, wheels and suspension are popular. Search the photograph section to help give you some ideas.

^Dem DMX rimz.

OP, buy the A-Spec kit before Acura discontinues it, buy new suspension, and modify the exhaust.

You heard word they're going to discontinue the a-spec kit soon?

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

No, but it's inevitable. They've already stopped production on certain colors.

That's true. Lucky I got in on Bruce's group buy a couple of weeks ago.

And to the OP. The a-spec kit changes the look of the car, subtle but definitely noticeable.

I got my car in June and I already bought the a-spec kit. The mod bug is biting hard.

not that they are going to discontinue them...
they are being sold out.
better get them before they get sold out.

I can only speculate here, but since the 3g has been out of production since 08 I imagine some of the oem accessories will be discontinued over the next few years. Hopefully the aspec kit isn't one of them.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

I think the word "discontinued" is used wrong here
Honda isnt making any more of them. so, they have been "discontinued" a long time ago.

however; you'll want to get your hands on them before the "stock" runs out.
ASM kits are already dwindling.
you cannot find any 07-08 type-s ASM kits.

^Ahh, gotcha. Yeah the CPB kits are few and far between these days too.

reaper101

yea i called acura and there down to just the suspension and struts and body kit no steering wheel or badges or rims or tires, does anyone know what the bulbs are in the cluster? and i would have got a type s but couldnt afford it ill get one as soon as this one is paid off for

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

dafuq you mean what bulbs are in the cluster???

if you have a 04-06 base its blue.
if you have an 07-08 base its blue.
if you have an 07-8 type s its red.

Congrats! Maintenance first before modification.

reaper101

ok so what kind of maintanance should i do the car has 110k

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

if anything is broken, fix it.
upon receiving a used car, I would change out all the fluids.
just make sure its running in TIP TOP shape, before you spend money on useless mods.

make sure brake pads and rotors have enough life in them.
make sure tires are meaty enough to where you wont cause an accident.
these are basic maintenance items.
change all fluids. power steering, coolant, oil, tranny, brake fluid.
make sure all your motor mounts are intact and not broken.

if anything is broken; fix it!

reaper101

lol i get ya well there are some things but dealership is going to do the work on the trans flush cause i requested it, i already change the oil and my brothers shop(owns a castral lube shop) didnt think about all other fluids also what kind of spark plugs should i use as a tune up(old american style and go with ac delco or get ngk tks guys

justnspace

Dont be wreckless kid

Maintanance is your first priority. Check to see if the 105k maintanance has been done before.

reaper101

I know I'm trying to learn but it's hard lol I totaled my acura last July rolled it over 5 times ill have to post pics and got another in October it's still here :0 but I totaled my crotch rocket 5 months ago :'( hoping to get another one soon but ill be careful just get out my way if u see me coming

Or maybe you should slow down.

nttstt444

iTrader: (1)

Or just don't drive like an ass Drive the TL in a reasonable manner and take care of it and it will last you a good long time.

EvilVirus

iTrader: (8)

Agree because if you are going to act and drive in that manner; then you might as well skip doing any maintanance at all.

Welcome Reaper. Please learn from past incidents and take good care of this TL.

Two totaled vehicles and you still haven't learned how to drive without being reckless? I don't think you should have a license..

Good luck with this car, although I bet there's going to be a thread posted by you in a couple of months with pictures of your totaled TL.

Your username is fitting.

Its not a body kit; its a lip kit that attaches to the body with the exception of the side skirts which gets replace completely.
