My New 2007 Acura TL Type S

I finally graduated college, its been a long and grueling 4 years. I decided that I deserve a gift, for all my hard work studying (actually more partying than studying but I still got a 3.0 so whatever) I've always been a fan of the TL. And after calling what seamed like every dealer on the east coast, I finally found the car that I wanted: 2007 Acura TL Type S, 6 Speed, White Diamond Pearl, Ebony Silver Interior.
I absolutly love this car. Thinking about taking out those headlight lenses this weekend and replacing the DRL, and fog lamp bulbs with something a little more potent. Anyway here is the eye candy.

haha im looking for that as we speak. I guess the manual is not accurate. Another user reported that the Fog light bulb, and turn signal bulb in the manual was wrong. I was hoping to clear my headlights this weekend, and when I do so was hoping to replace all my bulbs with something a lil prettier....but I need them bulb numbers before I do so

I test drove one today and it was nice. Hows the Mt compared to AT? I drove the AT and the respond wasnt there as I expected but still quick as hell. I love pwp color with gunmetal finished rims.

i remember calling there, but if memory serves me correct they did not have the configuration I wanted. I ended up gettin it in Philly at Metro Acura....I'm from Erie, thats where I am now. I went to school in williamsport (central PA) I may be moving to Pittsburgh though in a week or so....not quite sure, on which job offer I am going to accept.

I drove a TL-S exactly like yours a couple of weeks ago at Bordman. I'm sure it sold quickly. Nice car I can't wait to see a road test on them. Good luck on the new job. If you choose the Pittsburgh job let me know. There are several places around here you can go and very inexpensively run the TL-S. We have autocross,road course, and drag strip.

I just ordered my HID's and fog lights. I also thought about doing that to the DRL's. So I could use them as "driving" lights. Or extra lighting with the "high" beams.

Hey, I got my '06 WDP/Ebony 6MT at Boardman. Great guys up there. Back in May you could not find that combo anywhere. They did all the leg work and found that config in upper Michigan. Had it trucked in for me. Great dealer.

My major was Business Data Communications (IT) and a minor in Business Administration. Right now I'm not 100% sure on my job yet. Due to the fact that I have a couple offers. I have accepted one, becuase they where on a time crunch. I am a Network Administrator, for a smaller company near Harrisburg PA.....that is if I decide to keep it.

Congrats... Nice ride. That's exactly the color combination I would have picked as well. Did you man up to the 6 speed?

I tell ya, as more and more TL-S start popping up, Acura better blow me away on the 2009 redesign... cause I want to trade my 2006 on a 07 TL-S BAD.... must restrain... .. ..

Good Choice

Congrats, Great choice. Your car already looks awesome why change it?

The only thing I have contemplated changing is the driving lights; seems like they are in contrast to the Xenons.
