New member introduction

Hello guys! My name is Christian. I am located in Utah and currently own a '07 Type S and a '98 Integra. I had a base model TL for about 7 months and then I found a manual Type S and decided to trade it in. Excited to be a part of this forum and glad y'all can have me. Now for the photos!



07 Base model I had, 7 months later i stumbled upon a 6MT one and traded it in





Heres my other car I currently own. A 98 Integra sedan

Thanks. It was an on going search but it was well worth it. I prefer the manual transmission over the automatic so much more and don't regret it one bit

Totally forgot about this posts but a year later here's some updates on my car.

Was able to locally find a rear lip for 50 dollars and installed it that following weekend






Also picked up some H&R race springs, got tired of the 4X4 look


With some other Acura's in the local area




I'm loving the car and have no complains with it. I plan on getting the rest of the lip kit soon and have it on by the spring

Nice pick-up! Haha 4x4 look, I feel you. From a far the car looks like it sits so high but this car is kinda low in the sense you can scrape the front bumper easily for a stock family sedan...

Yeah there was a few times when I scraped the front bumper at stock height. I was shocked the first time just because I thought it was pretty high. I'm just glad I was able to kill most of the wheel gap with the springs. I honestly love how beautiful TL's look stock with just a slight drop

I've only scraped the actual bumper rather than that plastic guard, once on a curved/steep driveway once, that noise will forever haunt me lol.

Are you running stock struts?

Yeah stock struts. I'll get coilovers when I decide this height is too high for me
