Proud New Owner of a Carbon Bronze Type S

I am officially a proud owner of a 2008 Carbon Bronze Type S. I already feel the difference between my 2005 ABP in the handling. Havent had time yet to really play with it, but rest assure this weekend its on!!

Believe it or not this was my second choice! Hall Acura had 2 Type S TL's. The Carbon Bronze and the Blue Type S. I wanted the blue and was in negotiations but never put any money down on it. The day before I was to settle someone came in a put 18,000 down on it!! Yo I was pissed... Needless to say I came right in and put some money down on the Carbon Bronze that night. The Blue was so NICE, but I am now in love with the Carbon Bronze.

You won't find a better price than that. I bought mine off of ebay for $395 don't know how that's possible but they guy isn't selling them anymore.

Also make sure if you get the Beltronics STI you buy the magnum edition it's newer and better apparently.

Or else an Escort Redline is the EXACT same thing but for some reason Escort is always more expensive.

Congrats, I was going to be the owner of a Carbon Bronze too last weekend, went to test drive it at a mega dealer north of Philly at their own onsite test track and the clutch was so shot it wouldnt even hold half power in 2nd or 3rd gear, left and bought a White Diamond Auto instead.
