YEAH! Finally got my TL-S....
Most of you all probably don't care, but I am to happy to even care.
Finally got rid of my 98 GSR, at her peak she had 315whp on boost.
Just took delivery on an 02 TL-S yesterday.
(Dealer Pic of exact car)
I must say, I am very pleased with the car.
It's an absolute pleasure to drive. Good power, good handling, responsive, tons of room inside. I feel I have made a wise choice.
I plan on tinting windows, and maybe upgrading wheels.

Thanks!
Yeah, first things first, windows are getting tinted tomorrow.
Looking at rim options right now, trying to find what 18's I like best.
Then maybe shortly down the road, MAYBE, adding the OEM Body Kit. Not sure if I like it too much yet.
Intake, Header, Exhaust obviously.
My friend works at a speed shop, he got his hands on some JE pistons for the 3.5 MDX/Odyssey block.
We're thinking about pulling the 3.2 in favor of the 3.5, leaving the S heads, and adding a supercharger. Need to do some more research.

Congratulations.
Definitely go for I/H/E. They really open up the VTEC in our cars. :D
If you have the money, go with Comptech for everything. AEM is decent, but their customer service sucks, and didn't help me at all when I ran into fitment issues and was forced to cut the pipe.
OEM kit and 18" would look awesome, but you will have to drop the car, otherwise it'll look like a 4x4.
Also check out http://www.AcuraWorld.com. We have a parts manager of an Acura dealership on the board who can hook you up with the body kit for an excellent price. I got mine from him and his services are top-notch.
Good luck with the car, and start thinking about transmission reinforcement if you are planning on doing some heavy modding -- you mentioned doing a supercharger, and you would probably need the tranny reinforcement done from Velocity Resources.

Re: YEAH! Finally got my TL-S.... (psi420)
The car is amazing!!! ROOMY AS HELL and pretty damn quick too. If you do decide to go the 3.5 route def get the better tranny!!! At least the tranny cooler and make sure you change your tranny oil every 15,000 that's right 15,000 miles because our trannys ******' SUCK PERIOD!!! But besides that it's a great car! I havn't really had one complaint. Anyway congrats and def go to http://www.acura-tl.com and do a search for Velocity Resources and there is a guy who's done it all and i think with no trouble. JUST A GANG O' $$$.

Congrats
A word of advice, be freindly to your service writer at the Acura you got it from. Stay in touch, cause your gonna need it.
And get rid of the car once it hit 50k or so!
We parts guy love these cars,lol

Re: YEAH! Finally got my TL-S.... (psi420)
Congrats on your purchase , im sure youll enjoy the ride quality and bottom torque. In my opinion it would be better to swap the transmition to 6 speed manual instead of the engine though , but if u have the xtra cash then go ahead and swap all u want.
