welcome to the Zine, congratz on the car im sure you will love it, did u get it with nav?? when u say type s body, i think u mean the side skirts and the bumpers?? ... because other than that the body of the 04 and the type s are the same i believe ... or maybe you mean aspec kit? which is probably a cheaper way to go then having to buy all new stuff and getting it painted. for tail lights i would say order the type s lights off of ebay, and clear ur headlights ... congratz on the car again

Thanks Chief appreciate it..Its my first car and no it has no Navi. I was thinking about leaving the color i have its a Desert Mist and its a very nice neck turner at night. Sorry if this sounds dumb but whats the difference between a Aspec kit and the type 2 Side skirts and bumper? i have seen alot of amazing looking TLs on this site so i would like to join the ranks lol

its mainly the lip. if you search the forum for pictures, you can see a difference in the bottom of the bumpers between the Type-S and the base.

but if you want performance mods, look at my sig or browse the site a little and all your questions will be answered.

Hi John and Welcome! If you use the search function, and as well take a look at the 3G garage, you will find a wealth of information! By the way, do you know a Michelle Soto in NY, she's probably about 16-18 yrs old by know....

Hello fellow Brooklynite and welcome AZ...



Learn the following: NO, I don't need it... Or do I? No, I don't.. You'll be toying with the question everyday you are on here.

Its so funny when we have new members they introduce themselves we welcome them and first thing everyone says..." GET READY TO SPEND SPEND SPEND". We all love our cars and love to do mods. This site is awesome for ideas but prepare yourself because its a sick addiction that only gets worse and worse. LOl the more you look around the more your gonna spend. So welcome to the site and just make sure if you have a girlfriend, im telling you right now... buy all her shyt now and first, that way she cant say shyt to you once you start buying your shyt and no longer buy her anything becuase your spending all your extra cash on your NEW GF, YOUR TL. G'luck

Look at the 3G garage thread
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/3g-tl-service-department-aka-garage-questions-answers-check-here-first-553557/
It's a useful resource and has pretty much everything in it!

Welcome to AZ once again!
