Talking New Type S Owner

Picked up a Type-S this past Monday and put on about 250 miles. Today I had the clear bra put on along with 35% tint all around. I also picked up a set of used 18" A-Spec rims and tires for the Summer. Now I just need to get some snow tires soon. Will post pics when I get a chance.



2007 TL Type S | 6SP | CBP | Ebony/Silver | 35% Tint | Clear Bra

I can't wait till they come out with it. I am going to start calling Comptech every day until they start selling them. I'll be sure to post pics of it when I get it installed.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I definitely plan to mod a little at a time. Probably will leave the car alone in terms of engine upgrades as it's pretty twitchy already. Plus the RL engine is blast, its very responsive and has some balls when you get on it. Rolling at 90 is like nothing and fits 4 comfortably.

I think the stock suspension is adequate but could be firmed up a bit, probably some teins or wait and see what Acura does for the TL-s in terms of suspension upgrades.

Right now just waiting for the little things to roll in, all weather mats, trunktray, color matched mud guards(hope they turn out alright).

Some other things I am debating is whether or not to get an alarm and if so whether I want to do remote start.

Then probably by the summer I will upgrade the speakers.

That of course is the short list.

Currently waiting for the weather to warm up a bit so I can throw a few coats of zaino on it.

Overall I can't complain, i simply love this car.
