Whats going on everyone. I just got my 08 TL-S on Friday the 13th with 29,XXX miles on it. It's Carbon Bronze Pearl and I absolutely love it! I'm upgrading from an 03 SSM RSX. I love that car to death, I put lots of time and money into tastefully modifying it but I'm getting older and it was time to move on to something more grown up.I returned from Afghanistan April 1st and decided that It's time to sell the RSX. I'm going. To miss it. Here's a link to my show off thread on .com
http://forums..com/showthread.php?p=...2#post33667842
I'll post some pix up of my new baby soon. I haven't gotten a chance to take any yet, all I have are the pix off the dealer site.

Thanks bro and negative on the drop, keeping it as stock as possible. Got all my modding out of my system on the RSX. All I'm doing to this bad boy is getting A USA spec iPod interface and calling it a day

That's what I said when I first got my TL after trading my Civic Si. I made it one year before I started modding the TL.

No modding? You know that iPod integration will lead to wanting to upgrade the system, lol.

Welcome home, Bro. and congrats on the TL. S/F

Welcome to the group. I've got the exact same car with 40k and I thought that was low,,,, 29k is really low. It's a great car and you will enjoy it.

Great color and car choice man! And damn, 30k on the clock!

But after looking that's a lot of drivers side bolster abuse for 30k. The person who owned it before must have been overweight?? Lol

I suggest treating that properly right from the get go.

Some websites are censored here, so you'll have to upload the photos yourself.

Congrats on the pickup! The interior photo just begs you to drive it
