Just got a '08 Type-S...
 

What's up everybody,


I just scooped up a 2008 TL Type-S and wanted to see what kind of options were out there to make it a little bit different that others out there.


I don't want to do anything super crazy, and most cosmetic type upgrades. Obviously headlights are an option... I like the Halo look. I'd also like a set that's actually glass instead of plastic b/c of the hazing. I also like the look of the roof spoilers.


Anything suggestions or whatever would be cool.


Thanks!!
Dan

glass headlights??? just polish the plastic and apply a UV protectant and your good to go. What if the glass chips? lol

I hear what you're saying, but back in the day all headlights were made of glass... cracking was never really an issue, plastic is just cheaper. They're already stating to get that hazy look, but if I were to get a new set, UV protectant is a good call. Thanks Jeff!!

ASPEC lip kit is a good aesthetic mod. :cheers: on your new ride and welcome to AcuraZine.

Thanks my man! :thumbsup:
I look forward to using this forum!!!:ecstatic:

If you use it too much you'll be broke lol

I hear THAT!!! :whyme:

yes please stay away from this forum. My bank account would have at least 15k if I never came here :bawling:

^ lol same. Once you start seeing how good these cars can look its hard to resist.

Lol, I think I've been broke for quite some time now...

:wave: Welcome, Dan!

Window tint and the A-Spec kit are must haves.

Yolo

Congrats on the car. :thumbsup: Did you get an auto or manual?

Welcome!


...to the money pit.

It's an automatic. I do miss driving a stick from time to time but it is nice just driving.

No doubt... tint is ALWAYS the first thing you do. Luckily it came tinted so I don't have to do that. But do I make it darker??? :dunno: Ha!

I'll have to look into that a-spec kit. Thanks!

what colour is it

Black

well first thing is delete the dealer sticker above the acura emblem

Yeah I know... I took half of it off, then it was rain then snowing then work and other stuff. I'm working on it. Haha

:thumbsup:

i looked at this car. i even went to go to look at it. test drove it and every thing. i was on and off about getting it and then John called me sold me it sold. Now i know you have it. Its a clean car. the cross drilled rotors on it threw me off tho. i hope he recharged your AC when i tested it. it seemed low.

where at in around philly?

You are right 2 of my vehicles have glass headlights and no issues with fading but IF you were to find a set in glass for the TL I can almost expect it would be cost prohibitive, depending on your budget, to acquire these.

As suggested get the top headlight restore kit and make sure you put the UV protectant when complete and/or film.

Congrats and welcome!

Congrats Dan-tints are always the first mod for these cars.

I live in Bucks County

oh wow. im also in Bucks. Bensalem.

Congrats on the car. its a really clean car. Paint and interior is surprisingly clean and you can tell its well taken care of. only reason i didn't get it is because he was asking way more than its fair value. by the time i was going to call him up again he called me and said you bought it. :)

Right on!! I have friends in Bensalem... I'm there quite often.

Yeah it's really clean. I did my research and though a little high, I'm ok with what I paid (plus what I got for my trade-in) :thumbsup:

yea i ended up getting an 07 with lower miles. but i had to go all the way to NC for it. i didnt trade in my old car. still going to keep it.

im waiting to post pictures of mine. waiting for a nice solid clay bar, polish and wax.
