Your exactly right, its because I have had so many of them and im used to having to examine purchases based on pictures on the computer. So not even just on the TL-S, but I have a few things that I ALWAYS look at first in pictures that are dead give aways when inspecting used cars via the internet. On any car OEM emblem location is a simple way to quickly tell if the car has had work done. On the Type S, the S logo is actually very close to the trunk lid edge. Its barely even a half inch from the edge, and most of the time a body shop places them much further away...again, because they are lazy and really can careless about doing perfect jobs.
As for the jumpy tranny, I thought something was wrong with mine too...I was relieved to find out that it's normal. Now I drive exclusively in manual mode so I don't even experience that anymore. It feels different...actually I think it feels the way it should normally feel. So I prefer manual mode because of that, but mainly because the car becomes more fun to drive (of course not as fun as a true manual), and also I'm convinced that gas mileage is a little better when I control shifting.

Well I looked at some pics I took of my TL and looked online at other people's TLs, and you're right. The OP's pics compared to the pics I looked at are not the same...the spacing is different. All the TLs I looked at, as well as mine, have almost no space between the "TL" and the "S", while there is a little more in the OP's pics.

Should still I be concerned about the emblems at all even though my VIN #'s looked legit? You guys got me wondering what the f my car went through... if anything lol.
Side note: Has anyone done gunmetal plasti dip on an ASM? All I could find was black.
