That's the first White TLS I've seen, looks great and I'm sure you'll love the car, just like most of us -- thanks for sharing the pics, congrats and welcome to the board!

Congrats on your new TL. I just bought mine a week ago, but opted for the '06 and got a great deal. But I would've loved to have had an '07.

Thanks for the comments, I will probably do tint and the a-spec kit or another quality kit first. Then some wheels and suspension have to swallow having a car payment again first

Damn WDP looks hot! Looks like they fixed the mismatched bumper for WDP, but only time will tell

Could you if you get a chance take a picture under the rear muffler where it connects to the tips?

Thank you!

Welcome. I noticed Acura went back to Michelins. Those HX MXM4's don't belong on the Type-S. I guess you'll mod that too huh?

A real clean TL-S. I gotta get one of those trunk lip spoilers for my 06 TL.

I'm still don't know about those tail lights, but those quad exhausts look damn nice.

See, I'm the opposite. I like the new tails well enough, but prefer the stock exhaust to the quad. I like the integrated look better. The grillwork in both the front and back looks HOT though. I'd have to move my 18" A-Specs onto a new 2007, though. Just can't get with those wheels . . .

First congrats on the new TL-S. May I ask what kind of deal you got?

Note: I found out that the Type-S spoiler is mounted with two screws and three clips, NO TAPE. (Honda Service Express website)

After I test drove a Type-S I'm thinking real hard about trading my 06 TL 5at w/ Navi...

Thanks again, The ride is Stiff but forgiving, again this is my first TL so I don't have a lot to base this off of, I was also considering the bmw 335i, so I drove both before making my desicion. I really like the seats they are very comfortable and the high bolsters really hug you. The nav and the bluetooth are amazing I dont think the car can be beat for the technology you get. The power seems very linear and smooth there when you need it, im sure I will get hungry for more which maybe some bolt-ons down the road may tame. I do feel the transmission seems notchy as far as going into gears and such not sure if this is a common acura manual tranny trait or something that will get worked out. I am really happy with my purchase I paid sticker minus the Virginia dealer processing fees and online systems filing fees. Not ready to budge on price at my dealer and they are asking (adjusted market value) on some colors. I will take some more detailed pics once I get it cleaned up again, I will get some exhaust shots underneath and all. Thanks again

Nice ride. I'm not typically a WDP fan but it looks really clean with the tail lights and would look even hotter with tints. Please give a detailed review of the driving dynamics when you get a chance to break her in

Congrats on the new TL-S!! I have a WDP 2003 TL-S and I have it tinted with the 04-06 rims chromed on it! Looks pretty cool! (btw, I don't know how to post pics! Help!). I know you will be able to get the same head-turning from tinting your new one as I did! I wonder about the rims (07 TL-S) though. Something about them just doesn't grab me the right way. Hey, maybe you can help me with something else I am struggling with. I never test drove the 335i. Was there something about it that made you go with the Type-S, or was it simply more standard gadgets for less money? I appreciate your help on that one.

Also, I am new too guys! If I get a new Type-S, you can bet I will be back here to get some advice on how to mod it!

rventu, I'm with everyone, congrats and can't wait for the pics. Also, may I ask if your trading your '06 and what kind of deal did you get? I ask since I'm considering on trading my six-month old '06 TL w/ Navi for an '07.
