New member! RRP TL
Hello everyone! I'm 20 years old and live in KY, and I purchased my 2006 Redondo Red Pearl 5AT Non-navi TL (109k miles currently) about six months ago... Before this I drove a 1999 mk4 Jetta (black).
Runs, looks, and drives beautifully... I get compliments on how nice it looks all the time! So far no one has gotten even close trying to guess the mileage due to the condition its in.
Everything is OEM and all work and oil changes are and have been (previous owner) at the same dealership...
Accessories - wheel locks, splash guards, all season floor mats and trunk mat. I'll have a max legal tint here in a month or so installed. I also have a drop-in K&N filter that I have lying around; skeptical to use it because I've read it does not filter as well as an OEM filter.
Just recently I did the timing belt / water pump and shim kit, tire rotation, balance, 4 wheel alignment, brake fluid flush, transmission fluid drain / refill.

Forgot to mention that I also changed the timing belt tensioner and also the serpentine belt tensioner and belt.

Thanks everyone! More pictures perhaps once I'm done with the semester or when I get some free time.

Beautiful color! I love the MRP and RRP TLs to no end! Nice car for the mileage, too! It seems that Honda owners are the best when it comes to maintaining their vehicles at high mileage. 110k is still relatively young for a well-maintained car.

Welcome to AZine and an awesome find 
it still trips me out when i see this color here...the color is so rare. It seems like you're treating her right with the maintenance you've done. Good job!

Thanks everyone.. I really want the A-Spec lip kit, however I really don't want to drop $700+ right now, school already rapes my wallet... and it'll be near impossible finding a used set for RRP...

$13,800 before taxes/fee, KBB was $16,200! Whats better is that the car was bought at the same dealership, and all the maintenance was done on time by the previous owner at the same dealership!! Also if anyone has a solution to my A-Spec kit problem, let me know :P.

I just pick up my TL in AM color and is in the same boat with you about the A-spec kit. There's also a replica kit on ebay for $300 shipped not painted though, but since you factor in paint might as well get them painted oem shipped.

Be careful when buying non oem parts... some can be pretty terrible. I'm still trying to figure out my A-Spec dilemma. :/

I plan on keeping everything OEM... all the parts so far are all original.

Car looks great! Can't believe it has over 100k. Take care of her and she'll treat you good. With all the service that's been done, you'll be set for the next 50k+ miles. Enjoy :thumbs up:
