WDP Type-S Progress Thread

Hello everyone,

I've been creeping around Acurazine for years now and decided to finally start a progress thread. This is actually my 2nd WDP TL-S.
My first TL Type-S was super clean, but I ended up selling it for a 2007 Lexus IS350. The IS350 is a great car but I quickly got bored with it.
About two months after buying the IS350, I ended up buying another WDP Type-S. My goal is to make my current car as clean as my last one.

My old car:




My current Lexus IS350 and Acura TL Type S:



Planning to get rid of the IS350 soon.
Current Mods that I have that need to be installed:
-ATLP catback exhaust
-New set of Forgestar F14 with brand new tires

I also want to get the front and rear bumpers repainted to get rid of those scratches. They are bugging me like crazy.

One of the fog lights was shattered so I went ahead and replaced both of them.



Also replaced the cabin and intake filters. Engine bay is dirty AF.
I also replaced the battery along with both positive and negative cables.




Replaced the center cup holders as well as LED lights (old ones were going out)



That is all for now. These are my wheels:

Dude those are the exact same two cars in my stable right now too same color and everything..

I totally understand why you say the IS is boring, it's very subdued compared to the TL. It also is ridiculously comfortable and makes for an amazing daily driver though in CA traffic,

Ha no way! Yeah my IS350 has the F-Sport exhaust, sway-bars, sport suspension.. etc. But it still puts me to sleep when I drive it. It is definitely a great daily for the traffic though. For me, the TL brings excitement, whereas the IS350 brings a more refined luxury experience. The IS350 feels solid and quiet, and the TL has lots of road noise but it adds to the fun.

It is an auto. I actually had 2 different manual Type-S sellers lined up, but both of them decided not to sell on the day that I was supposed to come out. But honestly, the auto is still fine. I bought this car again as a new daily, and I drive through so much traffic everyday.

There was a small bug in my rear passenger tail light that somehow got in and died.
I ended up cracking the covering when I was trying to remove it. So... replaced the whole thing.

You can see all the dirt that came out of the mudflap:




Also went ahead and put in a new trunk tray:


Did a full synthetic oil change and some ass-licker put in a Fram filter in my Mobil1 filter box. Guess that is what I get for not checking. Returned it for another Mobil1 filter.
