only the A in the center has holes, the TL and ACURA do not. Type-S tails are $$, so if cost is an issue than i would smoke. you can either do a paint on, or bluebatmobile(sp?) is a vendor, or was a vendor here and he sells a few different overlays for all lights.

and if i were you, i wouldnt go adding any extra chrome

no only the acura symbol has holes. type s tails u get new or used...new id speak to tim from hondaacuraworld hes got good numbers for that and the side markers from the type s the wing as well the top wing i know nothing about.... a good drop for the car and to keep it within warranty is aspec. the ride gets a lil bumpy but its comfortable for the most part. tein is also a great option.

RRP FTW -- clear the corners, prolly the best looking and cheapest mod

Thanks for the kind words guys

Most people put off RRP - Picture composition and camera settings are everything. RRP is one of those colors that changes hue based on the different lighting conditions. Its got a really cool effect.

And, if you know your waxes you can layer different synthetic and carbuna to achieve a color-shifting like effect. Way cool IMO

Very nice! Looks exactly like what I want to do to my soon to be AM 3G TL...I pick it up from the dealer tomorrow night! Question: Where did you get the Type-S tails from and how much (dealer, eBay seller)? I see there some ebay stores selling them for a good bit less than the Acura dealers on eBay (like $30 or so), but are they authentic or a knock off (sometimes it is hard to tell)? Also, is it 'plug and play' or do I have to transfer anything from the old lights?

Sorry for all the questions...I am a noob...lol

I have used the search function before...just have to get better at using it...lol. I did find a couple threads that were pretty helpful...of course there are differing opinions on the quality of aftermarket vs OEM but at least I found out they are plug and play (according to CarrieLynn who got the aftermarket ones).

P.S. Your ride is one of my favorites on this site

OP:
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-garage-faq-3g-tl-newbies-553554/

Ctrl+f - then search the page... IE tails... IE Aspec... Read through the 3G garage. Lots of useful info if you can't find it via normal search methods...

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-service-department-aka-garage-questions-answers-check-here-first-553557/

Good luck and happy modding
