New '07 TL Type-S KBP (pics)

Hello - Long time lurker here to join the fun with the rest of you. I'd like to say thank you for all of your contributions to the forums, because I have found them useful over the last year, I just didn't really have much to say or add to the conversation.


I recently traded in my stock 2005 TL WPM 5AT for a new TL-S KPB 5AT.

So, out with the old and busted ...







and in, with the new hotness ...










I have tinted the car and added color matched splash guards, so far. I'm considering the CAI mod and maybe some other smaller mods.

Anyways, I'm glad to be here!

I seriously have considered having the wheels chromed, but they are starting to grow on me, too. Maybe because it is a different looking wheel, I dunno.

bforbrian - yes, I went there my first year on scholarship and we couldn't afford the rest, so I came home and finished up at UT. It was a great experience!

kappa821 - I traded in at $22.5k and bought at $36k. Not a bad deal considering I put 43000 city miles on my car in 1.5 years! Yeah, I drive alot for work.

acura911 - congrats on your new ride, that is awesome! I get a lot of positive comments on the color.

Saw your car on the US60 (Westbound) and the 101-North this morning (the "MIT Engineers" frame was a dead giveaway)...car looked sharp rolling down the freeway (and weaving in and out of traffic).

DOH! I've been busted, LOL. Yep, that was me and I saw you too. I gave you a wave as I went by. I love the color on your TL! A 2nd Gen TL-S came up to me on Power road and gave me a wave the same morning.

Great community we have here.
