New TLS owner!

I recently just purchased a NBP 07 TLS with 76k miles. Pristine condition besides the DRL coming on sometimes and the door light not coming on. Other than that. It's an amazing car. Today marked the 8th day owning it and I already bought and installed a OEM A-SPEC kit and some 19's. My Teins Street Flex will be coming in the next following days, till then the TLS won't be driven until I get rid of the 4x4 look. Lol.

I want to thank this community on guiding me with lots of useful informations when I was creeping before I registered. Thanks again.

Currently residing in Southern California!

Sna.

Yes you can...everyone on here has seen the 4 x 4 raised gap on the TL, unless they bought it lowered...

The gas mileage on my Accord is horrible! I'm getting like... 250-300 miles a tank. I did almost everything to clean the system but it's not cutting it. I am force to drive like a grandma due to my oil pan being like 1 inch away from the ground.

The picture was taken on top of Fashion Island parking structure

Thank you all for the compliments!

A little update on the TLS...

Wheels are on sporting the amazing Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Tein Flex are installed yesterday, going to have to wait a week till it settles to see if I am contempt with the drop (I did pinky gap for now). Was going to take some teaser shots, but it's sprinkling here, so I'll wait till the clouds move out.

Clean accord, I always loved those years. If your looking for some non 4x4 status, check out our suspension section.
