Car will be picked up Tuesday. It is getting a full detail and I got the dealership to put new tires and brakes all the way around before I bought. Pics will be up on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Looks great man congrats!!!! I think its cool that even with all the newer cars and all the newer technology that the TL-S to this date still looks new and advanced. Does that make sense? If Acura brought back and built a 07 or 08 Type S as a 2013 model it would still looks as good or better than most newer cars.

I agree with the OP, there isnt really much you need to do to the S its already a pretty damn nice package. Sure its not the fastest thing on the street, but its not bad either. Just an all around great package.

Only thing I can recommend to you is dont forget to peel off the damn dealership sticker on the back and the license plate frame! Also, I like the OEM splash gaurds which your car has, but the painted ones look much better. They are cheap as well and super easy to install. So I say keep the splash gaurds, but get the painted ones!

Edit: disregard the sticker and plate frame removal I just saw that you said its already comin off lol. Nice!!! :-D

Congrats!!

James

Enough said about the TL they need to bring it back out looking this good. I debated on getting a new TL or a TSX but i couldnt give up the 6 cylinder and I dont care for the new body style at all so i started looking for 07-08 and i found her.

pretty nice bro but y theres not much difference between the base 6mt and a type s , I feel its just a matter of increased liters in the motor and interior and hooked up base 6mt run around the type s to me jus my opinion but yours is still sweet. When im done with my TL its straight to the Bimmer world.335 cpe
