^^^ the dealer uses a pump tool to suck out the old fluid and put the new in....good thing is you get 100% new fluid....bad thing is they do not clean the magnet on the drain bolt and hence the 100% new fluid gets messy....
so if you have a hook up at the dealer, then go there and give them the new fluid (if you are switching to redline/etc) and ask them to clean the drain bolt when they are done sucking the fluid out....
also, check my link for the discount from vendors....send Tim an email (if you need a new nav unit)....tell him swoosh send ya and get a pretty chunky discount....
hope its a wire thats missing so you dont have to fork out $$$ for the full thing....

Doesn't the license plate block the air inlet for the intake?
In 04-06 it definitely would but is Type-S different?

Hi Emerson, averaging 24- 27mpg's so you are in the ballpark. So glad that you are enjoying driving your new KBP TL-S. Looks great. Sure hope your Nav Sys just needs some tweaking or software to get it right, keep us posted on what the dealer says.

Also went to a restaurant and really never noticed how high the curb is... I know when I drop it I have to be more careful about pulling up to the curb like this.

SAI SEI means Reborn/Rebirth in Japanese. I thought it was proper to name it like that! What do you guys think?
Future Projects :
Waiting on RV6 Cat Back.
Waiting on USR Side Markers.
Thinking about 3000 HID Fogs???
Definitely Getting 18x9 +30 VS-XX Gold.
Dropping It on some Tein AS or ISC N1 Coilovers ???
Clear Bra Maybe !!!
Also Thinking about Breakamotive kit or Brembo kit???

I bought the USR side markers on Friday and I did used the Code
Who do you think its a good place to get the HID conversion kit ... I was looking at the Kit from the Vendor HIDExtra ?
And about the clear bra, I heard pretty bad things about it too. If I get it. It would have to be from a place that guarantee their work.

for HID conversion kit: HIDEXTRA or DDMTuning....either places are pretty nice...DDM tuning turns out to be a little bit cheaper, unless you catch HIDEXTRA running some specials....
on the side markers....
what i meant is: yes, the RV6 was a good move...wait on it....
and clear bra turning yellow or the ability to not hit the hood with a Porter Cable scares me....so do your research and make your decision....

You can tell the difference when you're looking at it in person.
I made the gif file and then tried to upload but for some reason I can not upload it.

It may be too large of a gif. It has to be under 100 KB and the size is 175x175 (or smaller).

Hi Emerson, Looks great. Comment on the clear bra. Put this on my TL-S when brand new almost six years ago and NO problems or issues. Treat it like paint and it does a great job. Mine is 3M film. Highly recommend it.

No just pick the file and then upload it, you can edit the size of it once it uploads, that way you don't make it too small.
I like that editor though because it tells you the dimensions and the actual size of the file.
