New TL-S owner saying hi. [Pics]

Hello everyone. I've been wanting a TL for years and was finally able to purchase one about a month ago.

It's an -07 AT WDP/Taupe TL-S that had 23k on the clock. I got the dealer to tint the windows 20% and deliver it from another state for free.

I bought it undriven, site-unseen and so far the car has been everything I hoped it would be. I have a couple of mods so far, replaced the DRL bulbs with white LED (no dash minder light) and have a set of white LED fog bulbs coming. I know that they won't be bright but I just need them for the color because I hate the yellow stock look.

Other than that, I don't plan on any other mods because this car is a family car and the wifey doesn't need to have me tinkering on the car every week. My other car serves that purpose.

I haven't done any formal shots, but here's a few pics that I took the night I got the car home.

it's the CREE 3w 9005 LED from http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/D...68723-1-2.html they are on clearance right now, they do work perfectly and match the low beams perfectly with no dash codes to boot.

JDM-nice pickup on the Type S. I like the garage mate! And, just so you know-if you keep reading through Acurazine, you WILL be modding more than you think (or want to).

pshhhh, we've all said this atleast once. Although you may be a man of your word, least you have the vette to tinker with! Welcome to AcuraZine.
