Hello AZ!!! I want to introduce to you my 08 TL-S 6mt. I purchased this car completely stock & started doing work to it 2 days after I got it. The mods and work I done to it are suspension work - Teins Street Advance Coilover suspension, Ingalls rear control arms. - Type-S full lip kit purchased brand new from Acura Dealer - Repainted the car fully due to scratches and dings from city parking (previous owner) - V-Leds.com Switchbacks turn signals - V-leds.com leds all around the car 6k - Switchbacks sidemarkers 6k puddle lights with optional switch - 6k SMD LED DRL - 6k HID headlights 6k HID foglights 6k HID reverse with optional switch which I can flip on when someone tailgates me - Truck Airhorns (not the basic $50 plastic airhorns) - Viper Smart Start Alarm - CCW LM20 Powder Coated Matte Black Lip, Barrel, Studs & Center cap and Candy Apple Red Insert - Stock Type-S wheels also got Powder coated to a light Gunmetal - Injen CAI with bypass - Custom Plate - Int is stock so is the motor besides the CAI.

Here are a few pics with the CCW on & how its sitting for the winter. New wheels coming for 2013 along with other small little detail mods.

At the body shop after the suspension was installed along with the lip kit


At home after the CCW was mounted along with the alignment and rear camber set on -3.0 also with the custom plate ES REAL (translation ITS REAL - I picked this because I know alot of people doing TL-S replicas & I wanted to say mine is REAL)


Rear shot of the -3.0 camber


not a good pic but here is a pic of it next to my boy 02 Accord Sedan with 02 Accord Coupe front sitting low on Klutch Wheels SL14 & Function Form Susp & SPC control arm in the front with -5.0 and -7.0 in the rear

Its cool cuz I got 2 points on my licenses already, 4 more and I lose my job so its ok, plus I'm not into speed. Plus I live in NY can't really speed in these streets and traffic.

You might be right, I got so many pics of the car with different camber, it might of been on -5.2 at the moment. But now im at -4.5 on the stock wheels

Well not many memebers will admit but I will, I'm not a big fan of the wheels also, but the stock wheels the car came with had curb damage and 2 was bent and 2 tires had bubbles. So at the time my cuzn had these CCW on his TSX & was selling to buy a set of BBS so I took these off his hands and went to Espo's Powder Coating to and he had this color theme in mind so I told him go for it. I took the wheels off and sold it back to my cuzn got the stock wheels repaired and new tires, I'm shopping for new wheels but I think now I'm just go flush & concave no lip

Lol yo ni lo baja, just slap the suspension on and that was it, nevered lowered or adjusted, figure for the summer I adjust it.

Yo lo llamo ES REAL por lo tigere cojendo un TL regular y llamandalo TYPE S por lo aro o lip kit

Wow, a full repaint?! My car's in the shop now for just bumpers, and the bill's insane. Can't imagine getting a full respray!

Nice TL-S though

Yea I thought I could of gotten away with wetsand and compound but the shop said some of the scratches were deep. I would of change the color to White Diamond Pearl but it would of been more expensive and more work. But I'll deal with it, my 1st black car ( never again lol ) I already got plans on moving onto a RL by the summer

I'll post pics tonight

I had to put a 5mm spacer in the front for clearance on the brake caliper

Here are 2 pics I had in my phone, sorry they are not clear. I let the shop install it along with the puddle lights and alarm.



the compressor is right under the PS headlight
