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.

 

the legal limit, here in Houston is 35%.
but dont let that stop you from getting 20%, you'll have to find an "unofficial" shop to do the 20%.
most "legit" shops will only do 35% on the two front windows.

 

congratz on the car ... it looks mint, how many miles are on it?

 

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.

 

Thanks and a little of 46k

 

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

 

You sir have a PM.


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

 

Congrats on the Type-S!!

I forgot what mine looked like stock, and I've only had it a few months!! Have fun with it!

 

Thanks! I'm head over heels in love with this car.

 

congratz

 

Congrats on the car... for the tint check out executive motoring.... http://www.xmhouston.com/

Got my ceramic tint done for $400, lifetime warranty. Their prices are negotiable.

 

Thanks and I'll be sure to check them out.

 

^i got my ceramic tint done for 360. Huper optik ftw.

 

Congrats on picking up a TL-S. Awesome rides.

 

Thanks guys

 

Nice tint, didn't see the pix at work (flicker is blocked).

 

Woo! Looks HOT!

 

Thanks! I moved from Redono Beach recently. Man I miss Cali but Houston's pretty cool.

 

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~

 

Sorry, what?

 

Congrats and enjoy that beautiful TL-S!

 

Nice car, you did the opposite of what I did recently. I just moved back home to Manhattan Beach from Dallas, I miss some things about back their mainly the cost of living!

 

welcome.

 

Thanks and yeah that's pretty funny. I may be hitting up the south bay in a few months. If so, I'll hit you up.

Thanks

 

He's talking about Mole Skin. It's a felt used to line the inside of the window strip to prevent scratching of the tint. Check the tint shop to see if they will do that. The weather stripping of the TL is pretty tight against the window.

 

Welcome to the Zine! Congrats on the Type S!

I love mine, bring on the mods!

 

Ahh, I see said the blind man Thank you for clarifying and thanks to dano4o8 for the tip.

Thanks!

 

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.

 

Nice pick up let the modding begin.

 

Thanks guys

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks! Vegas is my home away from home, haha.

 

Welcome Legend. I'm in Vegas now on business. I'll tell everyone that you know here that you said hello.


2011 National AcuraZine Meet-Kansas City-June 12, 2011-Details Here!


.

 

I only know a few people that live there and a couple of dealers at Planet. Are you staying on the strip?

 

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!

 

^nice

 

Yeah buddy. Looking forward to tomorrow.

 

Dang man, I have a set of H8 Hoen Endurances just chilln in my closet, I could have sent you. Theses bulbs are more expensive that my HID kit I have in the fogs now...haha.

 

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.
