What's the deal with this Type-S?
Is the badge just added later? It doesn't seem to have ANY type-s features. Exhaust pipes, Sidemarkers, body style, wheels, manual transmission, jesus fish, etc?
did the mom who owns this car get ripped off?

The car is either an '04 or '05 TL, based on the absence of TPMS sensor cutout on the wheels.

Pretty sure there was no 04-06 desert most metallic Type S's lol. Nothing to see here except a 2G Type S badge was added. I would HIGHLY doubt no one went into buying that car thinking it was a Type S.

i.e. acura of lynwood ripped this poor soul off, or the loser owner added the type S badge with the jesus piece?

2G TL-S badge... If you know anything about the TL you would know that this was added on..
The dealer wouldn't list it as a Type-S either and slap a badge on it.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. This just looks like random pictures of someone's car. Did I miss the for sale add where this was listed as a 07/08 Type S?

Those badges probably add an ounce each and so the car weighs more and is slower.
Maybe the car is an 04 and back in 04 it was cool to buy an 04 TL and say its like having a typeS 2nd gen? Stupid no matter how you cut it. Is this a car you just saw and took a picture of or is it just an online picture?

Saw a guy pull up in a TL at a gas station recently. NBP, aftermarket black wheels, 4-tip exhaust, Type-S badge (the correct one), A-spec skirts and front... but the tails were the 05 solid red.
I told the guy nice car and I was in the market for one. Said he got it last November from a dealership in the area.
Asked him if it was really a Type S because the tails were wrong (but everything else looked right). He said he didn't know; some guy before had modded it with exhaust and wheels, etc... I then asked what the color of all the gauges and displays was; red or blue?
He said blue. And I was like Ah-HA! Imposter!
Interior lights color gives it away every time.
