anthracitecl's '07 NBP TL Type-S!!! (Updated 6/27/16)

Hi! What's up 3G TLers!! I just bought 07 NBP TL Type-S yesterday. I used to have 03 AM CLS 6spd. I got into an accident on 1/1/2012. So i ended up got this TL Type-s.
I still miss my CL though..

Thanks guys! I appreciate it. I still have my CL. I'm gonna part it out soon.
For my new ride, i have long part list now. I've already sent deposit for XLR8 coilover and RV6 true dual exhaust. I'm also gonna order A-spec kits this week and add something in headlights. I have to transfer rearview mirror from my CL to TL. shift knob too.
Do you guys know if i can transfer shift lever from CL to TL? I'm not sure if they are interchangable or not. I've searched, but i couldn't find true short shifer for 3G TL. I have to look into it though. I think that's it for now.




looks like your local too!
I live in Silver spring.

Thanks for welcome guys.

Thanks. It's gonna take some time. I can't spend all that money at one time. I wish i can though...

damn man, so did insurance total out the cl? I read your thread about the cop car. How did everything go with that. Nice pick up
Thanks. My insurance company didn't total it out. They wrote me check to fix it, but i decided not to. cause i know i'm not gonna be happy even if it fixed. I meant whole front end shifted to right side. I'm just gonna part it out all and make some profit. Biggest reason is it's time to step up for 4doors. I'm glad i got TL.

Thanks guys! ^ Can i ask what is it for?
Anyway, I did 3 mod this weekend. nothing special though. hehe sorry for phone pics..

1. Got done tint 20% all the way around except windshield yesterday.






2. I transfered scan gauge2 from CL to TL.




3. I also transfered my V1 CD rearview mirror to TL. I still have to find spot to hide main unit though. That's later. I was gonna add shock sensor too, but i didn't have enough time.. That's for next weekend.

Sweet looking rides. Digging the CL.

The V1 integrated mirror looks good. I was looking at that when I got my V1, but opted for the VEI pillar gauge display. I figured it was more in line with my line of sight. I also have my mute and volum button in that area but relocated the speaker. the actual V1 unit is mounted in my custom rear deck panel.

Looking forward to what you have in store. looks Like you have good taste in modding.

so, in the CL section, there is a debate going on right now titled:
"Any of you CLS-6 guys drive a 3G TL 6 speed?"

I know, its been only a week or two since you've had the TL-S 6MT, but whats your take on the car?
one of the main gripes that was mentioned in that thread is that the drive by wire is GHEY!
which one feels more powerful?
obviously the CL weighs a little bit less and is lower to the ground than the 3G, But I'm very curious to know which is the better car.

the CL guys are gonna hate me. lol
