check this out
I was going to mention MRP and KBB tied as #1 color for Type-S, but than I remembered MRP is also available for 07-08 base models so I just said KBB instead.

But I agree, MRP is definitely a nice color. I seen a MRP base model and damn did it look good. MRP + 07-08 rear tails lights =

My 3G TL stands out by being a rare color around here, royal blue pearl. Also I have 19" ron jon legends on it now which I have NEVER seen around in the area.

mine stands out because its the only one in the neighborhood and not too many WDP's in the general area either, which is one of the many reasons I love it.

I like those rims, especially on that car.

Just keep it subtle...tint, LED swaps, especially the license plate (get a nice crisp white), Aspec, and maybe a roof spoiler. That's about it.
I say keep your wheels and avoid visors (my personal preference)

The Type-S doesn't need much help standing out
Sometimes less is more

5. Have the car slammed so when you pull up you drag somebody's black tripod at night across the whole parking lot since they left it in the middle of the parking lmao

If any of those dont work, then idk what to tell you!
Lmao why does all this sound very familiar? Kinda like I've seen it happen, Hahah poor tripod.

Keep it clean? I don't want mine to stand out. I'm all about the sleeper. I was thinking about the type-S taillights and sidemarkers, and I might get tint this summer. I was also thinking about wheels but only for the purpose of loosing more weight. Everything I've done so far is internal. Ideally I'd like to finish modding and get into the mid-high 200's and leave it at that. Looking seriously into the JNR ECU next.

I know we're not supposed to talk about racing here but lets just say a stock auto Type-S and I had a "frank exchange of ideas" the other day and I won the arguement. Significantly. The feeling that he didn't see that comming a mile away is the best feeling IMO.

No money for mods so it stands out by being washed and cleaned constantly. It stands out when its immaculate.

The thanks is for your signature... It's the catalyst that drove my decision to wait for a type-s.

Honestly..

To "stand out" I don't think there's much you can do. Because it's already been done. I think I have seen everything done with the 3G TL, part of the reason I got a TSX.

However -- it's hard to make the car look BAD. It's just a great looking car, even the type-s stock.

Less is sometimes better with this car.

On another note, if it was possible to make love to a car, I would totally rape the one above me ^^. I love gold on blue...
