Proud new KBP TL Type S owner...finally!!!

After many, many (many) weeks of searching, negotiating, trying to deal with a certain local dealership and getting some great help from other AZ members... I am now an "OFFICIAL" member of AZ...

oh yeah, and a proud owner of a 2008 Kinetic Blue Pearl TL Type S (with Taupe interior)!!!

Took delivery of it on Saturday and I haven't been the same since!

Thanks to mightyhalo for pointing me to Sunnyvale Acura who had the EXACT car I was looking for, for even less than the price I offered the local stealership.

I've already washed it, clayed it, washed it, Zaino'd it and have the clear bra and 20% tint scheduled for Monday!!!

Give me a heads up on why you clayed a brand new car. Secondly to the Zaino leave any marks behind.
