New member and new TL Type S owner

Hello all. My name is Jesse, and im from Scottsbluff, NE. I heard about this site from a fellow Type S owner in my town. Dont know his SN off the top of my head. I just purchased mine Saturday. Has just over 38k miles on it. Look forward to learning alot about my car here and making some new friends. Ive been into Honda/Acura since i as 16. I think this is my 8th one ive had now. Few pics of the TL and then i threw in a few previous cars ive had over the years.









Civic coupe



S2000 i had a few years ago



And last is my Eh i had for 7 years.

Thanks guys. I actually had just met the fellow from my town. I had been thinking about getting a TL for a while and they are hard to find in my area. I wanted to look at one up close and he happened to be at a car wash i was at one day. I walked up and asked if i could take a look at his. He ended up taking me for a ride in it, and offered to let me drive it. I'll have to find out what Mike's SN is on here.

Thanks all. I plan on doing some stereo mods mainly, and eventually id like to throw on some 18" white TE37's. Maybe a drop, but right now i cant as i have a very steep driveway and it barely clears it the way it is. Windows are definitely getting tinted in a week or two.

good move! hey, a word to the wise.....when you go for the tints, make sure they will do your rear quarter windows properly, getting all the way UNDER the gray trim. half the people on this site have shitty work on theirs (no offense all). it makes a huge difference in the complete overall look IMO. i have an album cleverly called "tints" if you want to see a few pics of Llumar 35%. congrats on the ride.

Ok thanks for the heads up on that. I have friend who does tint and will end up doing mine. He does a good job, but i will make sure he will do that for me. I may have to look at your pics to see exactly what it is you are talking about but i think i have a pretty good idea what you are meaning.

Thank you. That thing was so much fun. Was semi-built putting down 380 on pump gas. This was all before E-85 was big.

No joke man! I was pissed the dealership didnt give me any. I was like WTF are you serious. I didnt buy them from them since i was pissed about it. I have some on order already, should be here next week. Along with a replacement OEM wheel since one is curbed 95% of the way around and they also would do nothing about that. Oh wells. Tint should be done next weekend i do believe if all goes well.
