just for you, Lister00169







the only real interior mod i've done is the shift knob. i found a momo one that matches the brushed leather. the orig one was a black leather one that cut up my hand cuz of the stitching.

other than that, it has the dolby pro logic 2 sound upgrade and the factory navi that pops up. i'm probably going to add another input to the nav screen so i can watch movies like my old cls. on the outside, i had the evolve body kit and exhaust added and painted. i can tell you it sounds really really REALLY nice.

with the dealer incentives/factory cash...plus the fact that i knew exactly what i wanted, i was able to get everything for under 38k. that vs a new tl plus about 4k, i found this car made me happier. it's awd and no more fwd off the line. plus, that turbo really gives a much steadier climb than the vtec i'm so used to.

also, a big reason is cuz so many ppl have the TL that i was kinda getting sick of it. I dont know anyone else who has this car. little. blue. different.

thx all. yes i've learned a lot about how to mod my acura from all you guys. so helpful. had one guy help me install my orig RGB-1 into my car to watch vids and work out the kinks. it's kinda sad to not have my cls anymore, but this gives me all new smiles.

This could be the next replacement for my TL-S. It's understated in an out, yet very classy, even with the evolve kit.

The only thing it's missing in the interior is the new metal center console from the S40.

Nice whip, now get rid of the Evolve stickers please. And if you can as well, get a drop for it.

very nice car. I have been curious about the shifter for a while after seeing one. Is the stick free or does it follow a tight track in there? Hard to tell from its appearance.

thats hot man. Just drove in the regular s60. A lot more solid car than I though, can't even imagine the R version.

Nice choice, though i love their dark gray color

great looking car and nice and fast. Just be careful with the reliability. My girl has an S40 T5 and its been in and out of service. But, that R is HOT! And if you are into modding, their is a huge amount of parts out there for the S60! Good luck

Talking

38k was just for the car. the evolve stuff was done after....and was a bit pricey, but hey, you can't put a price on good looks.

0-60 is about 5.4 and the awd really help it go...but over the 1/4 i think the new s4 will still win, altho i haven't raced to find out. i'm still trying to baby her, even know i've let her loose a couple of times

For a while, I was oogling this car. The stock EDFC type system (dampening control for the suspension) is just plain

Enjoy your ride. Did you see that tan colored interior? I know it wouldn't go w/ your exterior, but how'd it look?

Very very hot car. It's a definite sleeper. It's one of the cars I'll look at when the TL-S leaves the driveway very soon.
