New Owner 2008 TL Type-S 6MT





Hello everyone,

New member to the forum. Scooped this car up from a forum member in July and sold my 05 TSX. Travelled from CT to PA to buy it, been looking for a clean lower mileage 6-speed Type S for a long time and finally found it. Car has some mods already done to it and I plan on continuing to modify and maintain this car for as long as it lives. Love how helpful this forum is for DIY people so I figured why not join!

Looks like this car has some tasteful mods and was well cared for, I plan on painting my calipers the same color-looks great

Wash that bad boy up and post some clean pics. How is the paint? Looks like you need a full detail.

Paint is good, it's rained a lot here lately, hence the dirty car. I usually clean inside and out once every 1-1.5 weeks. Literally just dropped it off for a full detail 5min ago, then off to Cars & Coffee at XLR8 on Saturday!

That's awesome! I'll be at Excelerate Performance this Saturday for Cars & Coffee 8:30am-11am. Just throwing it out there if you have no plans. Hoping to see other TL's there. Would be awesome to meet some other guys/girls near me who own modded TL's. Also, really want to hear an XLR8 exhaust in person before I decide to drop all that cash on it haha.
