Its all good. I actually followed up my original post (post #255) and hosted the pic with http://postimage.org/ (post #256). I don't understand why its not showing on anyone else's computer. I can see it on all my devices (not logged into DB). I thought is was showing correctly. That's really odd. Thanks!

Is that with the original O2 sensors (down and up) or with O2 simulators?

Congratulations! Now how does that ride? Was any rolling of the fenders involved? How much of a drop is that ?

Thanks in advance!

We are still tuning the suspensions at this time. For the most part, we are riding with about a 2.5-3.5 inches drop. With that drop and along with Vossen Vfs2 20x9 +38, we did not roll the fender or notice any sort of rubbing of any kind. These prototype RSR coilover ride quality is amazing. I can't wait to get our hand on the production RSR coilover and give you guys a full review.

Our TLX was getting some sun tanning at the Car & Coffee in Boynton Beach yesterday. There are still so many people asking what kind of Acura this is..... Overall, great turn out.

That's awesome!

Having looked at it, the TLX comes with no interfering rear fender to be rolled...so it's like the factory did it for you...and the fronts are already angled up and out of the way...obviously the 12" wide camber crew will still need it, but it's already got the clearance for 90% of enthusiasts....

I think it's really great that you're spreading the word about the new TLX in your beautiful ride. Keep up the good work!

And a little off topic here... the shield grille has really grown on me over this past year. It was definitely evolved from what it was when it first came out, and it looks pretty darn good on this BWP TLX.

Yep, it sure does...less in your face since the hood line is a lot more gradual.

The side skirt/underbody spoiler is the most difficult piece to install, comparing to the front and rear. It has quite of few of measurements to do, in order to install the 3M hardware where the side skirt/underbody spoiler attach to. Ensure to follow the instructions and you should have no issue with the install.

you've done an outstanding job....this car looks great in pictures & in this video... The Vossen VFS-2 look great, but I would like to see how Vossen VFS-1 look on this car as well..

Keep up the great work... thank you for this video & all the pictures on here & on social media.

Thats a bit of a naive comment on behalf of Vossen. Acura doesn't need Vossen, Vossen needs Acura.


PS. Acura selling more cars depends on the service not on the car. Quality and dedicated service, or lack thereof, makes people stick with the brand or get another ride from another brand.

Not sure if you saw or not... (unless you stalk social media like I do) however Acura actually retweeted one of the tweets from Vossen showing this TLX! Very cool.

If anyone would guess, how much should a V6 TLX should put out at the wheel on a DynoJet (In Florida @ 92 degree)? Acura claimed 290 horses and 267 torque.
