Dude, a modded TL is a rare site......don't fool yourself


Ready to race? Too funny

congrats! Topless RWD FTMFW..whether miata or s2k.. they are both very elemental in their nature and are both amazing "drivers" cars- not to mention not comparable to a FWD (jjaber)

Born and raised in Arcadia (am up there often still), worked at a speed shop in Pasadena in HS....know a lot of the shops up there now well. It's a rare site.....don't fool yourself into thinking it's not.


1 out of 10 you see might have wheels.......1 out of 30 might have some decent mods (which aren't even much)

What shop? And regardless the TL still doesn't "look like" a chick car. Especially the Type S. And we've had 2 or 3 of those come in to my friends shop in Pasadena. My point is the look of the car. The TL doesn't look like a girl car, the Miata does. Don't matter to me that the Miata could smoke a TL. A Civic could smoke a Miata and I wouldn't want either. But this assclown took it up the ass cuz I dissed his big wheels car by giving my opinion

Forums and Meets have corrupted the minds of some people... they think every one is modded...

<--- Still stock after over 5 years...

It's rare that I see a modded late model acura in commuter traffic... I did see a stock black 08 TL type-S today with tint

Looks good.

I really don't like white, but for that car/interior combo it looks nice. I think they still (Mazda) have the right recipe for a roadster. I'd just like for them to lengthen it a touch more...Just a little.

Did anyone else notice the RX8 like wheel arches? As everyone else said, if it sits a bit lower, it would be very cool.

I used to call the MX-5 a girlie car ... but seriously ... it's fine the way it is. A lot of fun and has very good road manners. It's for those who don't want the 'rawness' of the S2k. And way less in car insurance with better fuel economy ... what's there to argue over?

Each car has their virtues.

Congrats on the car.
