'07 Type-S
Hello everyone! I joined this forum a while ago when I almost pulled the trigger on an 06 RL (also to promote some meets) but now I'm finally able to contribute 
Recently picked up an 07 type-S. There's a squeaking noise when you start the car and at idle when the A/C is on, assuming it's a loose or bad belt. The DS mirror shakes when placed into and out of reverse and the #1 button for the DS seat memory isn't lighting up red. So I plan on getting these things fixed before modding it. In TX, I think you're allowed to go 20% all around (recently moved from LA) so I'll be doing that soon. Also looking into either Neuspeed race springs or H&R sport springs but still doing my homework on them.
Here are a few pix. I'll have more after I detail it this weekend.

Ahh, thank you for clearing that up. Have you dealt with Stereo Efx off the 45N near beltway 8? I'm looking for a shop for the tint and springs. I would do the springs myself but I have no experience working on this car.

shop around for the tint, most places do a fairly good job.
Inquire about moleskin, without it, your fresh tint job will scratch.
I've installed a few springs/coilovers on the TL.
I'm always looking for a little extra income.

No, that's pretty north from me, a good 45 min drive.

Also, I meant to say a little over 46k.

Definitely ask them about the moleskin, my TL-S driver side window has 4 long scratches running up and down the window and i know a friend with the same thing, it bugs me alot and ill have it redone later~
Thank you for clarifying and thanks to dano4o8 for the tip.

nice TL-S just like the one I picked up a few weeks ago with the exception of automatic. I say stick with 35% all around your interior is dark as it is so its going to look pretty dark anyway. not only that but it would be legal.

Very nice! Man I wish I would have went with NBP (Black). I'm parting out my TL as we speak and will probably be jumping into a black GS350 so I can go for that VIP look. Congrats again on the great pick! If you have any questions, this forum have a plethora of info and the members here are extremely helpful!

Thanks, sorry to see you parting yours out.
Just ordered a set of Hoen H8 Endurance bulbs for the fogs I'll be going to get some estimates on tint soon and Carmax is replacing both mirrors and the A/C belt for free!

Aww man, really? Ohh well, guess I should have asked.
I also plan on getting some Redline D4 and motor oil but haven't decided on which one yet.
