07NBPTL-S Progress Thread

Hey guys, i just joined the forum since i bought my car not too long ago.
I own an 05 TL/ Auto/ Non navi
I'm a big fan of Honda's, i've owned quite a few and always loved the TL.
I found the car for a great deal with some minor body damage, seeing as my friend owns a body shop, i decided to buy it and we are currently working on the car, fixing the damages and repainting it. It should be ready sometime next week, can't wait.
Here's a pic of the TL.

And the damage


And my two previous cars before the TL.

Welcome to our large 3rd Gen family. Look forward to you making the car really yours when it's time to do mods. TL's look best when modded less. Conservatively modded cars go way further then mod the suspension to your drivbing tastes an be done. Again welcome to the family.

Yeah, i loved the rsx as well. But decided it was time for something bigger and more luxurious.
So far my plans are to get the windows tinted. Get an aspec kit, get a rear trunk lip, and possibly 07-08 type s tails.

I'm still fairly new to the TL so i am still researching about other possible mods i can do to the car.

Quick Update - We fell a bit behind on the schedule for getting the TL fixed but we did manage to get quite a bit done. Currently, the rear quarter and door are almost fully repaired. We are filling all of the deep scratches/ and some minor dents, then we are going to sand it down and repaint the whole car. Results should be in around Tuesday or Wednesday.

Anyway enough talk, here's the pics.
