^ Wow that's actually a really good price for a TL-S that Myron linked. I wouldn't mind trading my auto for that manual 
I would tear off that front lip though, looks way too bulky.
@Mitchell - Welcome to the KBP club! I went to Garage Works for my 20% tint, they did a good job, no complaints.

Haha I have my doubts the owner wants an auto though, probably selling to get something better. I'd have to swap over my headlights, interior/exterior leds, and sidemarkers though. I can't ever go back to stock lighting now

Yes I have white led sidemarkers for the front and red led sidemarkers for the rear. The front white ones go perfectly with my switchbacks.
Follow this DIY - https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/new-way-modify-your-side-markers-636010/
Myron helped me do this a while back, just order the leds from oznium.com
This is the exact same mod that acktl05 would do if you sent them to him to have modified, he uses the same leds since he gets you to buy and send them to him.
My tax return will be going towards my vacation, I don't know if I'll even get any though.

Damn Mitchell what do you do for a living to afford both of those cars at such a young age? I think there is an XLR8 coilover group buy going on right now if you're looking for some coils. Shipping over to Canada won't be cheap though.

Yikes workaholic much? I'd go crazy doing those kind of hours day in and day out. Any big plans in terms of mods? It is 6MT or auto?
So what do you guys have planned for the spring/summer for mods? Here's my list:
- Install CCFL for license plate (coming in the mail)
- Install rear signal leds (coming in the mail)
- Install 0.24ohm resistor to prevent hyperflashing (coming in the mail, I'll have plenty if anyone needs one)
- Install roof spoiler (coming in the mail)
- Wrap roof, roof spoiler, lower portion of front grille, rear chrome strip above license plate in glossy CF (still need to order)
- Install F&F coilovers and spacers (sitting at home, I know I've got a few of you guys willing to help muhahaha)
- Install 6K foglight kit (sitting at home)
- Get 6K DRL kit to work (arrrghhh it has been a pita!)
- Refinish TL-S wheels (big maybe, depends how adventurous I want to be lol)
- Customize the front grille by deleting the "A" and crossbar (another big maybe)
- Fix the gouge on the rear bumper and quarter panel (no doubts about this one)
- DIY repair of cracked foglight lens (been putting this one off since I bought the car)
- Delete the clear diffuser in the rear tailights to give it the accord taillight look
- Stumble upon an insane deal for a radar detector (I secretly hope for this everyday)
- 1 step paint correction, already did major paint correction last summer (restocked on all detailing supplies, awww yeah!)
Maintenance:
- Timing belt (FUUUUUUUUUUU!)
- 3rd & 4th gear pressure switches
- 1x3 ATF flush, already did a 3x3 two winters ago
If anyone would like to do these mods as well we can always meet up and work on them together if you're interested. The more help the better!

Auto, Was hoping for manual. But found this one and I like the color so I jumped on it. Picked it up last night, then this morning looked on Kijiji and the one Myron posted was up...Story of my life!
For mods I would say just coils, tint and a radar detec aswell. Keep forgetting there is speed limits when I'm driving in this car

Haha ouch! If you only waited one extra day you might be rolling in a 6MT instead. Did you get a good deal on it?
I was browsing kijiji and came across this: http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-veh...AdIdZ355805841
The price and km's seem way too low. I suspect this car was in an accident or the owner is definitely looking for a quick sale. Definitely worth looking into if anyone else is in the market for a TL-S.

I did but then I started thinking from a ownership point of view of maintaining and insuring, My black TL was more reliable/Cheaper to insure than my BMW before that. I made a grown up decision

^ Yeah hit up Myron if you guys need help with the headlights or sidemarkers. He did the majority of the work for mine and definitely knows what he's doing. Both came out looking great too.
An m3 would have been a sick pickup, but the maintenance on that thing is ridiculous. An absolute beast to drive though. I sort of get the best of both worlds since my bro has an m3

^ Wasn't he selling it? I saw one on Kijiji with a Pepsi blue TL-S parked beside it. Was asking like 25k or something like that. Wait a while and get the V8 M3 
Another note got my Tint done lastnight. My buddies shop hooked me up with a deallll!
280$ to remove old tint and put on new tint Garage wanted 400$ lololol

About the mod list..
-roof spoiler needs to be installed
-black chome emblem needs to be installed
-needs a break job, I'm leaning on RL brake calipers after doing some research
-install my TL-S front sway bar
-mount skinnier tires on my summer rims so I can poke it a bit more
-tint? I love the idea of tint but I don't want the hassle of getting pulled over
-send my switchblade to heeltoe?
That's about it. This year is going to be subtle for me compared to you guys. Lol. But next winter, I'll be rocking some 18" RPF1s

@Arthur - Dude just tint it. Your car already turns enough heads, mine as well add the tint.

Hmm interesting sounds like someone has similar cars to me and my bro. I asked him and he said he hasn't put it up for sale. I doubted it since he is planning on quite a few mods.
@Arthur - Nope *knock on wood* It really is based off of chance. Some people with tint get caught and some people don't.

@EdmTSX - Nice mod list. Did you fix those marks on your door?
@ArenHam - Justin had Myron's old axis rims. They're still for sale but you'd have to be willing to fork over around a grand. I'd drop the car before getting wheels otherwise it will look a bit weird depending on which wheels you choose. Don't want to be one of those guys driving around with 19's with a 5 inch wheel gap.
@Arthur - Dude my roof spoiler came in the mail yesterday. Did you get a tracking number with yours? I only placed the order a few days ago and it's already here from overseas lol.
