Talking My new nbp type-s

Picked her up last Thursday, my 04 does not even begin to compare! 2007 with 25,xxx freshly tinted, washed, and waxed. So far I'm planning on a-spec'ing it, clearing the headlights and replacing stock speakers with infinity's. Hope ya'll like it!

Sweet ride...enjoy! Hey, as you're doing your mods, you might consider some BlueBatmobile tints (www.bluebatmobile.net) for your side view mirrors. He has a 6/10 tint, with is a 20% tint-it will really compliment the window tints. It's like the only light color in an entire black canvas.

I got 25% on the sides and rear window and 35% on the windshield. Windshield tint is one of the greatest mods I've done to a car before...once you've had it you can't live without it!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm thinking that when I clear my headlights they will go with the mirrors nicely. What do you guys think?

I've been considering it, I saw somebody on here that removed the 'acura' and 'tl' badge but left the type-s, thought it looked sick, thoughts?

Thanks for the input guys, I'm thinking that I'll probably leave the 3rd gen badge, but the 2g badge idea never even occurred to me...definitely something different!

Not even a week and already modding. If I were you I would put your credit cards in a safe deposit box that you can't touch until your 50 years old.

Sounds like a decent price for the progress rsb.. what size? 24mm?

Looking forward to seeing how that Type-S NBP turns out.. Just make sure you look out for those Jeeps!..

Yeah 24mm and adjustable. I read through some of the threads about it and it sounds like a great suspension mod without affecting ride quality...and its cheap! I'll be sure to keep ya'll updated on any mods.

Yeah no doubt...I have nightmares about jeeps now!

I think it makes the back of the car look really clean I gotta say, after owning the car for a week now, Acura was able to address every complaint that I had with my 04 with the 07 refresh (cept for the weak ass sub)! Hands down one of the best values on the market IMO.

Very, very nice. Were they cool to deal with? Seems like the only people with TLs ever in-stock. What was the sticker, if you don't mind my asking?

That subdivision looks like the one I used to live in. Off of E. Piedmont.
