Bye Bye TSX, Hi TL-S

2008 TL-S auto. Dad passed away in January so I took ownership of his car in February since he never let my mom drive it and we knew that it would be taken care of properly with me.

Not planning on anything crazy with her. Lower, Aspec lips if I can find any MRP, jpipe, interior LEDs, etc.

Already removed intake resonator, license plate LEDs and stage 1 (kinda sorta) exhaust mod.

"New"


"Old"



The TSX is up for sale. Just made more sense to have a newer car with fewer miles on it, 80k vs 170k miles.

Sorry to hear about your dad passing. Been there, and it's definitely a tough time. Hope your fam is doing well.

Welcome to this side of the site though

Sorry for your loss, OP.

If you're looking for an aspec kit, you might need to get it in a different color and repaint it if you can't find the kit in MRP. The aspec kit is now only available in certain colors because I believe Honda/Acura is no longer producing any more.

Sorry about your father. I lost my Dad suddenly a year and a half ago, it's one of the toughest things I've faced. My advice is to take time to sit down sometimes and just think about memories you have. No rush, just think about them.


Anyway, that is one clean TL. Awesome car.

I'm glad he at least got to see his grandchild and be there when he was delivered. Lotsa memories.

Buyer drove off with the TSX this evening. Kinda sad but now onto the TL. Scarlett has finally sleeps in the garage.

Time to decide on the drop.

Tough loss -- my condolences. Keep that car forever!

"...removed license plate LEDs..." -- never thought of that idea, and it's a good one too. Heading right out to the garage!
