I just joined a few weeks ago, but I had been following Acurazine for a couple months. I recently got my 2007 Type-S in April. I had previously inherited my dad's 1995 cadillac deville concourse, but months later it started to give me issues and I got rid of it. I originally wanted an Integra, but it wasn't roomy enough. I still wanted an Acura so I decided for a TL. We looked around for TL's and I hadn't considered the Type-S until one day we came across a silver one with 34,547mi. That same day we made a deal and I took her home. Prior to joining the site I had done some minor mods, but I have some in mind for the near future.





Future Additions:
Weapon R SRI
Sarona Roof Spoiler
Resonator Delete
Skunk2 Radiator/Oil Caps
Mishimoto CF Shift Knob
3rd Brake light cover
-1 inch Drop
LED DRL'S
RED LED Glovebox/Armrest

 

welcome to the site, you can register your color here https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/tl-owners-please-chime-855960/ thnx.

Just FIY for you don't get the intake they just a waste of money and you will gain noise not HP so don't even spend money on the intake, save your money and get a J-pipe instead.

 

welcome, nice upgrade from the cadi

 

Congrats Welcome to AZ! Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. Also register your TL at www.myacura.com in the USA or https://www.myacura.acura.ca/ in Canada. Save your Navi and Radio codes there. Check for any recalls your TL may need.

Welcome to the Money Pit.

 

Thanks! I had heard they don't add HP just give you better throttle response, but which J-Pipe do you recommend?

xD Lol I know right.. ? haha

Thanks, Definitely a nice upgrade

Thanks Alot I wasn't aware of being able to save my codes/register there.

 

RV6 - ATLP - XLR8 should give you similar result of gaining in HP the only differences gain in these three are TQ.

 

I'm definately considering The RV6 or ATLP V2, I think I'll do both J-pipe and Intake, do you have one installed? if so how do you like it?

 

Dude, nice step-up from the Caddy.

Congrats on the Type S. Check out My Garage if you'd like any more ideas.

Hey, in the lower right hand corner of each thread, the middle icon is a multi-quote button. It allows you to respond to more than one person in a single reply. I've merged all your responses for you. That's what it will look like when you use that button! Let me know if you need any assistance.

 

Lol Thanks, and will do

 

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the site!

Not an LED but has to do with lights, Just a cover on the 3rd brake light(sorry for the bad quality photo):

 

Wow quite an upgrade from that Cadillac ocean liner.

 

Nice progress

I'm not a fan of the front plate location though. The plate in the middle makes the front end symmetrical and I think that looks best

 

Thanks Lol definitely

 

Thanks still got a few more things to come But I know some people aren't too big on the front plate relocation, I would much rather have it off completely but its illegal in CA
I don't like the plastic cover that comes behind the plate, and when I bought the car it was already fading, I wanted to have the "ACURA" Inserts, but again I think it would look best without a front plate

 

Thank God NC doesn't require a front plate

 

Lol Lucky...

 

Got here yesterday






Also decided to CF Wrap some pieces..






Before:


After:

 

Hmm. Mind taking some more pics of the shift knob? I'm thinking about getting a different one and I like the way yours looks.

 

^You like his knob? :ghey:

 

Bet I'd like yours too.

 

Is that a compliment? Not sure

OP the new shift knob looks good but I don't like seeing the gold piece at the bottom.

 

Looks good man

 

Thanks, check these pics out its the same knob

Lol
Yeah I don't really like it either but it doesn't bother me since you can't really see it unless you look down , I plan on replacing it with a black or chrome piece though. It's a spacer so it won't show the thread of shifter.

 

that's too much CF vinyl for my taste and I never understood why people put red lights in their car, but great that you like it. Congrats on the car too

 

I like the stock Type-S "CF" better than the bland di-noc wrap. Everything else looks great!

 

Dude, that CF E-brake handle looks familiar. I just did my little Type S badge in carbon fiber too.

 

Lol
& nice Where did you get your illuminated door sills?

I guess everyone has different tastes but I like the red lights since the Type-S comes with the red dash and stuff. But thanks I <3 this car!

It looks alright IMO but I like the look of the wrap since it's just like the real thing, but Thanks

 

Are you still blocking the air going into intake with your license plate?

 

How long did it take to wrap all of that? I assume it was more time consuming than hard.

 

My door sills came from Super Computers a while back. I don't know if they're offered anymore...

 

I did it on different days, altogether I'd say it took me about 2 hours? But yeah, it's not that hard just have to cut,adjust, and apply heat to it so it fits the way you want it.

 

Aww man..

 

I haven't noticed a difference, I'm planning on getting a SRI in the future anyway.

 

That yellow/gold thing under shift know
is it to convert the AT thread size into MT thread size?

 

No, it's like a nut that covers the AT thread, since my new knob is shorter than the OEM knob. I didn't want the thread to show so I used that gold thing, but I'm looking for a black/chrome one to replace it. The knob comes with 3 thread converters.
