After about 2 months of drama, i have finally finished my type-s rear upgrades.

it only took:

-my car getting hit by a plow
-the auto body shop ordering and putting on all the wrong parts
-Delray Acura of Florida jerkin me around for a month with the exhaust
-and a blown fuse(i guess that was no big deal though)

Ok so now u have to let us know what u actually did. Im thinking about doing the type-s rear but adding the a-spec lip. but not to sure how it would look with the 07 rear lip and the normal 04-06 a-spec

wow, that looks NICE! on thing left is change the TL badge to the slanted TL Type S badge! =D

datmrman

It looks good, but you're still missing the smoked rear side markers.

CC___TL

yes youre right... i actually kind of forgot... i found them pretty cheap online, im hoping that will be the easiest of all transactions.

thanks for the reminder

triton3k

looks good.
Anything else you plan on doing?

crazymonkeytl

datplayaz

Well atleast I know if I ever get rear ended I can have a sudo '07

looks good!

yohan81718

is it just me or does that decklid spoiler look a bit off in position?

i have 07 type-s spoiler, and it comes out little more sorta line up together with the edge

CC___TL

i dont think so, ive dumped a pretty good amount of money into this car. I actually didn't pay for most of this upgrade due to the plow hitting my car. but i did pay for the exhaust, i did suspension, Cold Air intake, wheels, nav conversion... imnot even sur ehow much longer ill have this car.

although did just purchase the extended warranty. has anyone else done that?

I was actually just looking into the E-shift pro cats... but its a bit pricey... if i did that... that would seriously be it.

oh and i might do the a-spec front lip.

CC___TL

yeah the tips are from the 07 type-s exhaust, i bought the whole cat back system. At first i noticed a small change in sound. It was not louder but just a different note. After about a week and maybe 250 miles... its actually changed its note again, becoming a bit deeper and has become louder as well.

Dont get me wrong though, i would never describe this exhaust system as loud. Im actually really happy with the sound, and definitely the way it looks.

Damn that's freaking hot son! I've been following your posts about the tl-s exhausts and i must say it's real nice!

I have question..the rear bumper u bought, is it just the bottom piece u attach or is it the whole rear bumper you are replacing? That might sound like a noob question but i don't know the answer lol.

CC___TL

yeah its actually the whole bumper which is confusing because i also was under the impression the the a-spec kits both front and back were lips. so im not how they would attach to the type-s.

but anyway the rear bumper cover was $274 from my dealership.

Sunoco

that isn't so bad but i'm surprised that they had the tl-s bumper in Anthracite. I have AM too and i thought they don't have that color for the tl-s?

nycACURA

Nice whip...lets see some side shots. Just wannna see what kind of rims you have. They look like RH Evolution.

Do you happen to have a close up of the rear grill area? Maybe how it attaches to the bumper?

Thank you!

ililillilillilil

that looks great. For a while now, I've been hoping to get rear ended just enough to afford that .

badazzTL

Looks good, but I don't think you should put the smoked rear side markers. You wouldn't want people to think you have a type-S now, would you?

CC___TL

yeah im pretty sure they stopped making this color entirely, i had all the auto body work done at a shop, so they paint it custom for me.

It was one of those happy accidents i guess for me.

CC___TL

this pic is from last summer, its all i got right now. Ill take a few more after this shit storm we're getting in NY. But the wheels are axis hiros (gunmetal) which is a remarkably similar color to acuras anthracite. theyre pretty good wheels for the price, ive been overall happy with them.

Sunoco

how much was the paint and install? I live in the tristate area so would like to know where you got it done. Thanks in advance!

CC___TL

all i can tell you accurately was that the rear bumper cover cost $274 and the tails $132 each(from dealership). There was also damage to my car on the driver side rear quarter panel. Although it was not replaced it still required a lot of work. I never asked so its kind of hard to separate the cost of all the modifications and repairs...sorry.

The bill was $2160. The exhaust i bought and installed separately. But the exhaust was $730 Shipped.

I went to a place in Smithtown on Long Island, called Performance Auto Body, and i would definitely recommend them. I would ask for Jim, and would definitely advise that you deal with him. he was very honest and seems like a good guy.

good luck! any other questions feel free!

CC___TL

Ill get you a couple of those as soon as we get a brake from the rain and snow.

tidus888

damn.. need it painted...

but the thing is.. i find the non-type s tl's back look nicer.. in the sense that the exhaust tip.fits the body line

Looks Clean

Sunoco

Thanks for all your help! I'll really looking into this.

Final

Damn I called a local Acura dealer when the 07 Type-S' just came out and they said the full exhaust was around 850.

CC___TL

the cheapest i found the exhaust was $605, shipping $125. i bought it from delray acura in florida. but before you do business with them please check out one of my other threads.

Nice rear end. haha. Did the tl-s bumper come in the Anthracite color or did you have to paint it?

CC___TL

i had to have it painted

tehloxely

ugh, I am so jealous. How does the exhaust sound?

Mokos23

Now all you're missing is the Type S badge

tehloxely

Also I noticed that you removed your side molding. I have the same color car, would you mind posting pics of the sides for me?
