My first Acura

Well, I have had my TL Type S for 1 week now, and I couldn't be happier.

I haven't done anything special to it yet, but I still wanted to show it off! (nothing you guys haven't seen yet haha)

Sorry the last one is a bit blurry, but I just love that RED!

Thanks! I feel the same way about the red, especially with the Type S darker tints throughout.

To be honest, I wanted either white or black and just went to the dealer to test drive the manual transmission. They didn't have a picture posted yet online, so I assumed I wouldn't like the red. Got there, loved it, bought it a few days later. No regrets haha.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It's great to be apart of AZ.

Yeah, I definitely got lucky on the color/transmission combo. Not sure of all the modding I will do, but I already have iSimple and Dom's unit coming today.

I will most likely throw some tint on there, as soon as I find a reputable tinter around me. I'm always open for more suggestions haha.

I saw one for sale online and the seller mentioned there were less than 1000 manual transmission Type S in the US. Not sure if that's true, but wow!!

I believe it. I already bought Dom's unit, iSimple, about to get a Pro Clip mount and, oh yeah, a new iPod Touch HAHAHA. I'm just glad I got the Type S so I'm satisfied with the performance for a bit longer than with a standard haha.
