Yet another 3g to 4g convert..

Well I took the plung about a week ago and have taken a little time to get used to the 4g style has really grown on me and wow SH-AWD is amazing especially as I am so used to FWD cars.. I will post a few pics below.. enjoy.

From 2g to 3g..




My 3G..










And from 3g to 4g...



















I wanted to thank everybody at Rick Case for everything. Rick ( Internet sales ) Benny Chahal (General Sales manager) and last but not least Marc Riley (General Manager) has been by far the best sales experience I have ever had I will be back for my next purchase without a doubt 5G?

Hope you guys enjoy the pics for some more pics of my 3g you can see the my goodbye thread https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/well-18-months-18k-miles-time-say-goodbye-lots-o-pics-777293/

Wait....wasn't your Type-S a manual? (Correct me if I'm wrong as I've never owned a Type-S before...but aren't all Type-S come with stick?)

the Type S came in stick and in auto.

And congrats. I know it may seem hard to deal with the trade in but you won't regret it. The SHAWD really is an amazing car.

Congrats. All your TL's were and are beautiful. We bought my wife's 09 Ody from Rick Case Honda and as with yours it was a very easy deal. Good to know about their "Acura" side as well. I'm going to give them a try in Feb when my 08 lease is up. BTW, what interior color did you get with the WDP and how was their inventory?

i know how ya feel... i still, miss my 3G Type S every now and then... but i know, once i can get a nice exhaust, quality roof spoiler, some wheels... and hopefully, a drop lower then the H&R... my 4G will be bad ass!!

Good color choice... did you get taupe or ebony interior?

the AWD 4G is going to be alot slower then a modified UA7.... but, ill sacrifice speed for superior handling ANY day

Your 3g looked very nice. Not sure I would have traded it. Hope you enjoy the 4g. I came from a tsx and I missed that car. I like my 4g and I bought it with all the goodies, cus I did not want to do a lot of modding as my Miata is modded to death. Thats my FUN car and its like no other.THEN there is my truck, so besides the appearance package, wheels, tint, and fog light mod(they can turn on with the parkers) I'm about done. I am tempted by that new exhaust thats out, but My maita gives me more vroom vroom then I can handle right now. Its nice to get in my TL and relax, with a smooth ride and wonderful stock sound system.
