welcome to the forum. there is a regional section you should check out and possibly go out to some future car meets with fellow acura enthusiasts. plenty of people from NY are on this forum.

have fun with your new-to-you-TL!

The only stuff I did was change all interior lights to LED, Change Air filter to K&N, I was in need of one, didnt want to spend $65 just on the filter. but did, Will get a CAI in the near future and mid muffler Delete, shaved off 9lbs and It had a Sportframe Hitch on the car, and shaved off another 18 lbs. The car was from IL, and there is so much rust on the bottom, so i would like to replace the whole exhaust system., next I am looking at getting Type-S tail lights, been doing a lot of research on that......Thanks for all the topics on these forums BTW.....It helps newbies Like me!


and A J-pipe

Will try that

^looks fine to me. i would try and found out what aftermarket brand they are, not all are the same. if they are DEPO, you're good to go.

also check ebay, might find some better deals.

^sounds pretty generic to me.

eagle eyes, depo, etc are the aftermarket companies that produce these lights. idk what aftermarket is.

but here are the same lights you linked on ebay for cheaper

Can anyone tell me if they know a website for the rear side markers, that are cheaper then $69 on ebay. Is that the cheapest i'll will find for the Type-S rear side markers? and Also the rear lip, how do you know which one is really for the TL, or are they all universal? On one of the listings the seller is stating that the Pearl white is not the same color? lol? is that everywhere? Thanks sorry for all the questions.....
