New 07 WDP TL-S Member

Currently waiting for my dad to go pick the car up because I am currently in Iraq but purchased a 2007 TL-S WDP with 43k miles and looking foward to doing a bunch of mods once I get out of this country. I have been scrolling through the pages past about month or two and I have a lot of mods too look forward to. Love the site you guys seem to be a lot of help and going through the pages giving me great ideas.

Will post pictures soon.

Here are some pictures, the images are from the dealer i bought it from though because like I said I do not have the car in my possession right now to take new pictures. Car also already has A-spec body kit on it.




And if anyone wants too mess with my car once i get it you can deal with me and my 10 other guys.

Yeah I had a Base Navi that was totaled over the Summer. I originally didn't think the difference was enough to justify the cost of the Type S over the Base. But this time I was set on getting the S, you are gonna love it. Plus your good since you got the kit already... just more money to use for modding

I plan on ordering some things and having a trunk full of goodies for me to put onto the car for when I get home

I do get pulled over sometime for them but a little respect for the law goes a long way. What type of mods do you want to do first, looks or performance? Some people around the city drop their cars pretty low but I find that the A-Spec suspension works great on ourretreats. The tint does wonders for our WDP's.

As far as performance, CAI's give you a little power but the best mod for the money (for me) is the RV-6 V3 J-pipe. Right now I am waiting for Richie's new exhaustto come out. By the time you get back I might have it on.

Anyways, good luck and be safe... Shoot me that PM when you want.

I still got like 14days to wait til I can PM but will do sometime. I am going to go more for visual, as of now paint the grille black and get rid of the bar that runs across, and get the amber out of headlights but also a little performance. I'm getting a CAI and debating if I want the exhaust right away or wait. Plus I see that the ATLP exhaust is back out and also the RV-6 true dual so if I decide to get an exhaust I'm having trouble deciding which one

I'm going too do more searching before starting a thread but I'm trying too figure out if anyone has installed a push button start yet because that's another big thing i want to get installed.

I'm sure it has been done. I'll try to help you out and find some threads on those mods. Take a look at the 3G garage when you get a chance.

what 2nd line are you talking about? How the TL's have the inward line by the handles and then that 2nd line that's lower that goes outward? If so that's just a ding protector (not sure proper nomenclature) but it gets door dings to ding that up not the actual body... If your talking about a different 2nd line what line are you talking about?

That actual car? How did he say it rode because that is one thing that isn't good is I don't get too test drive it. My dad will but has too travel too pick it up before he can so that's also not the best time too test drive it.
