So there is a 07 Type-S front bumper for sale in the black market right now down in Salem. Its NBP and scuffed/scratched to hell. Depending on how low this guy will go i may end up picking it up and starting my Type-S conversion. Id be stripping the paint myself, then maybe even try my hand at body filler in some of the scratches depending on their size.
You guys think i should do it??
#1846
id say go for the bumper.. complete the type s conversion =)

I wanna get the bumper, but im not sure if i want to deal with possibly having to fill in body filler....but i dont want to pass up the deal and kick myself later...
But then again i dont have a job yet. Interview tomorrow though...so hopefully ill get offered the job.

you can find some decent body fill thats like fiberglass.. the only thing that will take a while is the sanding to smooth it out again.. GL on your interview

Axiom electronics. Its right off Cornell, near 26, so there may be "talk about car" lunches again!!
My plan is to work on the bumper myself, while i gather up all the trim pieces and fog lights.

Anyone else get caught in the snow??
I was out and noticed there was about a inch on the roads...BBK's and snow covered roads dont mix.

Aftermarket Intakes for the TL-S are exactly the same as the 04-06 Aftermarket Intakes.
Not worth it to the companies to ship them with a smaller filter, or redesign the intake all together.

sure it is...thats why we pay them money instead of going to home depot and just custom making our own....
#1863
nothing wrong with a jimmy rigged intake =) just as long as you use silver duct tape otherwise you arent cool
#1864
I would help you OStateBeaver but 1) no garage =( so it would have to be a dry day and 2) i dont know much about the TL-S body. so ripping all the plastic around it to snake the pipe around might take awhile.. on the other hand i do have all the tools needed to probably do it..

It all pops off uber easy...worst part is getting the resinator part of the stock air box out...all the clips are pretty much visible...just remember to unhook your fogs before pullin the bumper off
#1866

I have a garage and am willing to sub it out to you guys to work on it. Plenty of tools, but know nothing about TL's so Brandon would have to hook you up on install, I'll just open the beererator and watch lol.
4300K is the Acura HIDs
Kyle - how did your job interview go?
Brandon - get the JDM black trim from heeltoe yo!

If you guys need help with the intake, id be willing to lend a hand on working on a TL.
Chris- The interview was alright as far as i could tell. Ive got the experience for the job, now its just the waiting game for them to call me back.

If you dont mind....
Why the V2?
If i recall correctly, ive seen a couple threads of people having the lower mounting tab breaking at the welds. Luckily no large debris was ingested into the motor...but that wouldnt be a fun day if it did.
Have you looked into the Fujita F5 CAI at all?
