The can fit, you just have to have the right amount of money. the wheel can be put on, but you will need to rewire the plugs for the controls on the wheel and as well you will need a new airbag from the 07's.

As far a gauges, the wires are different and the controls are different as well. You would need to rewire the whole thing and pray it works.

With all the money you spend upgrading, you could have bought a TL-S and had the 3.5L!

As per the announcement in the performance section, your thread has been as well moved to the main section.

I would get the seats.. thats my favorite thing in those cars that I want soo freakin bad!
also all the lighting in the type s is red I believe. so you can change the center console, courtesy leds .. and if you dont have navi i would add the navi..

Seriously, why is it that people are not getting TL-S, and want to make their ride to look like one?

What's the point for all this really?

Cheaper insurance, and they can do it slowly as they save more money and without having increased car payments.

the seat covers for just the 2 front seats would cost abot 1700...i think if u get lucky enough to find it in a junk yard it would really cheap...but i doubt u wud find a type s in any junk yard..mine already has a navi...i wanna change the guages but im not sure if it work right

dose anyone know if u could add the tps to the 05 tech?

Because my 05 is paid for! Why in the world would I want to get a new car payment for a few minor upgrades on the 05? There are some things I like about the Type-S but then are some things I don't.

I bought the car new in 05 and there was no Type-S option at that time. There are plenty of reasons why someone would just upgrade what they have, rather then buy another.

The point is that people like the look and want theirs to look like it without going out to buy the car. In my case, it is much cheaper to upgrade the parts from the Type-S, rather then taking on a $650 car note for the Type-S. As you can tell from the sig, I was upgrading long before the Type-S was available.

This fits

- Exhaust
- Pre-Cats
- Suspension (TL-S is slightly stiffer)
- Rear Sway Bar
- Brembo Brakes (need a few extra parts)
- Seats
- Door Panels
- Body Bumpers/Panels
- Headlights (04-05 TL need different Ballasts & Blinkers)
- Taillights
- Side Markers
- Side Mirrors (little modification needed)
- Fog lights (little modification needed)


Does NOT fit

- Gauges
- Direct engine swap (07+ UA7 has different tranny)

what parts are needed for the brembo brakes?

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

you'll need

the Knuckles
the ABS sensors
Brake "pipes" as acura calls it, which is just part of the brake line
the rotors
calipers
brake pads

wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to get a Rotora BBK which has superior performance ?

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

Yes, brand new list price vs. list price, Rotora is Cheaper and larger...

The only thing that comes to mind for me is...

There is no difference between the OEM 5AT vs 6MT brake hydraulic system.. .same M/C same VSA module, same EBD.... but the 6MT uses a different ABS sensor.... so if you are putting the larger Rotora Kit on the car, one would think using the ABS sensor from the 6MT might prove to help

5AT brakes are MORE likely to go into ABS, then the Brembos.... even though Rotora Kit is design for the 5AT, and is "supposed" to work flawlessly... i think adding an ABS sensor from a 6MT/Type-S might help the Rotora Kit work more effectively on your 5AT car

dave_ramkumar

iTrader: (5)

to make the blinkers work

gatoferoz25

iTrader: (13)

For the side mirrors you need to get the 07-08 TL mirrors and run i single wire for the blinkers that's all the rest is straight swap....good luck....

dave_ramkumar

iTrader: (5)

Dose anyonme know if u can add the type-s paddle shiffters to a 05 automatic...if i chage to the 07 steering wheel?

if you are good at wiring yes, you need a module that I beleive is in the tl-s and you need to buy all those connections... good luck it won't be cheap unless you have a totaled tl-s at ur local junkyard (I might have seen a tl-s in a junkyard earlier today... I can check if you really want anything off it)

osvaldo516

anyone here in acurazine that has done this swap????
if so, please pm me
