Phase 1, let the fun begin....
Two weeks ago, picked up a new 2007 TL Type S with A-Spec kit. Sorry about the standard photos, but I just had a few hours to take some pics before I had to leave for Japan. Right now, she's back in the shop getting a rear wing spoiler and window visors installed (yea, I know, we'll have to see what they look like but we use them a lot here in Japan). Front plate has already come off.
Can't wait to move back and start upgrading. Just ordered the illuminated door sills in red, so that should give it a bit extra. Window tint is an easy one, then begins the expensive stuff......

A'right, another Moroccan Red Type S!
Still kinda regretting not getting the A-Spec wheels when I got mine, but...hopefully I'll be able to upgrade to those or the RJ Legends at some point...
Post more pics when you get the illuminated sills in! I've been thinking about it myself, but don't feel confident in being able to install them on my own. It'd be nice to know how they look on the Red TL-S...
Nice ride!

Once the new wing is on I will do the windows as it is a simple event. I have only driven the car for a day before I left, so I need to spend some time with it to see what to do next. Reading a lot of good info on the boards about other user's upgrades. The A-Spec suspension seems pretty tight, so maybe some room for upgrades inside and under the hood.
Stay tuned.........

luvs redheads!
i was wondering if you or your wife can clarify that the cars color(moroccan red) shifts in different lights. I have noticed that it looks kinda orangish in certain lighting conditions because of the flake.
I am thinking of repainting my coupe with this color which is why i asked.
thanks

Update, new wing spoiler
Ok, that took longer than expected. Dealer installed a whole new trunk to make sure the colors matched perfectly.
Don't bag on the photos, the wife took them and emailed them to me. :wink:

I'm an NBP fanatic...but that is one hella nice car! Man it looks gorgeous! It blends everything together so well...but don't be ashamed of being second to NBP...natural order of things it is...
