Idk, I'd do $10/hole or $20/Caliper. Plus shipping. I have the timeserts on hand and can get them done and sent back within a week upon receiving them.

Ok today the "big box" show up and it compiling of all parts and fluids about $500 later, all of these parts actually will go on the SSM TL only as I have more stock in the closet for the rest of the TL(s).
I will keep update the thread as progress moving forward, my objective is to restore the mechanical imperfection on this car and enjoy it for a while. The goal is to keep the car stock.
oh joys....

Here is a little update from TLC that much needed for the car. I got deal install a set of LCA bushing along with alignment for a hook up price and since then the car handle much better than before.
Front and rear valve cover got a fresh set of seal, 6 spark plug tube seal, recharge A/C system along with valve adjustment, new NGK spark plugs IR from Rockauto. Yah no more leaks from front and back valve cover, if you look closely you will see some of the engine oil still remain on #5 coil. Don't you worry I already clean the oil off the coil pack.
Please remember to flush your clutch line!!! its has the same life time as your brake fluid. I don't think the line ever been flushed since the car was new.
Every of my TL 1st upgrade. Before pic
After much needed modernization
Here is my list for things to do next.
1. Fix the Navi issue, I already order another DVD drive lol.
2. Replace the Honda MT fluid with AC Delco FM fluid.
4. Fresh rotors and pads on all four wheels.
5. Remove the cheap aftermarket sway bar link and put a new set of front/rear sway bar bushing.
6. Flush the power steering fluid and rebuilt the power steering pump.
7. Fix the TL famous "wander mirror" syndrome since right side actuator is discontinued... FML
8. Clean the engine bay and put the plastic cover back on.
That all I can think for NOW lol, as far as driving wise the 6 spd is fun especially shifting from 3rd to 4th and down shift from 4th to 3rd with rev match put a smile on my face every time.

Love how it's coming along. I think I'm getting the itch for a new restoration as the MRP has no issues after I replaced the Evap Solenoid for the gas cap message. I do have to flush the brake fluid because it was so low I had to add some due to VSA/Brake! light coming on.
I'm thinking of trying to pick up another RRP again and a KBP that needs some TLC.

Keep up the work my friend
all of you guys are bad influence and inspiration in a good way lol.
Finally I got the out dated navi working again, I feel so weird with the 04-06 Navi since the graphic resolution is slightly less than the 07-08. The proccess speed also slower than my 07-08 TL, some how I end up with all TL has navi. Took the car today for work so I can test out the navi function and in traffic I have to say its not that bad.
No need to worry about the dash being expose to the sun, this is my daily spot park at work.
Its feel so nice to have the clock with correct time back along with all the original function back.
I just had to test out the Navi and compare it with the 07-08.
Well the final verdict is everything working greats except for the outdated 2007 DVD. BTW more update is coming on the way.
I believe the harness need to be modified on the 04-06 navi since the 07-08 wiring differently because the live traffic feature along with extra features that didn't existed for 04-06.
And for the compact parking spot, everyone here in TX love big truck (F-250 and Ram 3500, Tundra with crew cab or extended crew cab) so they want to prevent big truck park around the corner where expose to alot of traffic. My TL fit perfectly behind the yellow "compact car" line. Some time I park in the "fuel efficient vehicle" spot with my TL-S lmao.
For those who have 3 pedals TL, why this dam car is hard to down shift rev match? or is it because I am a noob at driving MT?

Ive been driving manuals since I was 16 and rarely rev match when down shifting. I think it only makes a difference if youre on some crazy twisty roads or a road course. Im a straight line kinda guy though!
I attended AZ local meet over the weekend lmao.... Represent the Houston AZ crew we are still strong.
Lmao this is what its looks like when I need to sweep the garage floor, my neighbor keep rubbing their eyes and they though there are a car meet for sure.
I got a Type-S deck lip spoiler for sale for that SSM.....just saying
But seriously you got an addiction lol
You know that you are saving the parts so you can buy my SSM right? after all same color inside and outside.... you already has cosmetic parts laying around :P
Grew up in Metairie, LA, NOLA, about 10-15 miles west of downtown out in the burbs. Moved to southwest Mississippi in 2016, then moved to the Mississippi gulf coast in November.
Thanks for visiting and supporting LA! If you ever visit the Sip, thanks for that too. Gator meat is best west of the Atchafalaya Basin, though! Or in Lafourche (LA-FOOSH) Parish!
Way to go boudreaux! No, I'm not Cajun. I'm Diego.
