GAWD DAMN! I just love your car! Such an inspiration! How do u like the Tein SS? I have them as well. I'm low now...I feel I gotta go back up a bit once I get my rims. There's just way too many driveways and drainage dips here in LA for my current height. But I love it...it looks sick as is. Anyhow, your ride is sickness!

I didn't even see this car on this forum but saw pics when I was about to purchase my TL during a google search and loved it. I have always loved white cars and yours has me wanting to mod my car even more after finding this thread. I can't wait to be able to afford to start. Hopefully it turns out as nice as yours.

Facebook shoutout for the win! Definitely new motivation for my WDP Type S as well. OP do you remember where you got your gloss black roof vinyl and how much? Was it the 3M branded one?
Also. Thank GOD you have sense and opted for no negative camber.

Hello family and friends of Acurazine,
I thought I would make a Timeline and Progress Thread for my 5AT 2007 WDP Acura TL Type S with Ebony/Silver Interior.
In case you don't know my name is Aaron and I'm a junior at Christopher Newport University.
First and foremost I would like to thank my Dad, Mom, and brother Corey (badazzTL on Acurazine) with this journey.
At the time in 2006 I was initially looking at an Audi A4 and a VW GLI. However, since my mom owned a Acura 2G RL and my brother owned a 2G TL, I glanced on Acurazine and was inspired by the 3G TL. I fell in love with the body style, the performance, and of course WDP! Then I heard rumors that there would be a Type S version later in the year 2007, so I waited.
My inspiration of what I wanted to model for.
Loki's 2004 TL
Eric's then 2004 TL
2006
It all started in October of 2006, when I picked a brochure of the 2007 TL and there it was. A Type S model would be coming in 2007. The wait was worth it.
On December 11, 2006 with 3 miles on the odometer I picked up the 2007 WDP TL Type S & Ebony/Silver interior with 5AT from Hall Acura in Newport News. Thus, began Project: WDP UA7
After 5 days I went on my first photoshoot with my brother and his 2G Satin Silver TL.
After 2 weeks and its first wash!

August 2009 Cont: Black Roof
Added the Black Roof (One Piece Vinyl)
September 2009: Type S!
Decided to add some Type S flavor to the grill on the TL-S using the badge from the steering wheel.
December 2009: Lights!
Decided to add some LED's and Noyka H8 Yellow Fogs!
Randoms.
January 2010: Rigs, Flashers, Strobes, Cold Weather
And once again Faiz Rahman does amazing work! Shot my car during a 15°F weather.
Thanks again Faiz!
Rented a wide angle lens for a trip to London, England for the summer in 2010. Took some shots that have never been released!
August 2010: Wheels
The time to get some wheels. I went with some 18x9 +22 Advan RS's in Dark Gunmetal Metallic and Project Kics R26 lugs. There was a 3 month wait from Japan. It was long and grueling but it was all worth it!
Then I finally mounted the wheels!
