CLtotheTL32 Do you have a supercharger on yours? They don't make one for the TL Type S, plus I don't have to $ right now to do a supercharger. I will just do other mods. Add me as a bud I can't cause I am new to this site.

alexSU you are probably pushing more whp than me now since you have mods mine is bone stock type s. One thing I have noticed is that the clutch seems to take a second or two too long to catch and shift to the next gear especially from a dead stop and then take off. I did a nice run on a 2009 Mustang GT @ 140 mph then he slowed down and didn't want anymore. I was half a car length on him. That was my first run in my TL.

He is in Pineville
Basically the other side of downtown from you lol
Very nice run
I just want to see how much my mods helped me. There is a mod for the clutch delay, you basically remove the checkvalve in the slave cylinder.
BTW, get your post count up so I can send you a PM.
And a test pipe next weekend

I got a few questions for everyone and would appreciate any good advice and comments.
I would like to convert my fog lights to HID fogs. Anyone know of a good kit that would match my current stock HID's on my 2007 Acura TL Type S ?
Also anyone have a carbon fiber hood and has painted it their original car paint color? If so where did you get your carbon fiber hood and how is it holding up?
I would like to do some basic engine modifications but not sure as to what exactly do. I don't want a supercharger due to the cost but I am willing to spend $2k - $3k. If you have any ideas and can give me reliable name brands and an estimate of what it might cost me that would be great.
Thanks!

Start posting everywhere besides the regions section and black market, because the post count doesn't go up here.
Did you see my links a few posts above you? ^^ It's some reading material which should set you on the right path for mods. Let me know if you have any other questions

Anyone have a carbon fiber hood? If so what are good brands? I saw VIS online for $810 including shipping. I want to have the hood repainted the original bronze color the OEM hood is. I think I will start with weight reduction first then move to the exhaust and so on. Thanks for any info.
