Hey AZ Members,

Been lurking for a while but finally got some decent photos of my car.

Purchased 2014 Acura TL SH-AWD Tech GLM last July from Hidy Acura (defunct and now Superior Acura of Dayton).

Mods and Accessories:
- OEM Remote-Starter (Dealer installed)
- Splash Guards (Dealer installed)
- Weathertech Floormats and Trunkmat
- OEM Sunscreen
- 3M Clear Bra
- 22PLE Glass Coating
- Window Tint
- 19x8.5 +40 Ace Alloy Aspire Hypersilver w/Machined face (Based on UFmike316's wheel fitment)
- Yokohama Envigor 245/40/19

So far I've been happy with my purchase but unhappy with the local dealership (I posted an extensive review and filed a BBB). Though, Superior Acura of Fairfield restored my faith in Acura and its dealership.

Car is looking spiffy.
Is that OEM sunscreen the one for the tlx?

Texas325

The sunscreen I have is for the 4G TL. Acura has one specifically for the TLX.

+1 Im digging the sun screen. Welcome!! GLM club. Glad your able to keep the faith

Thanks! I see you're in Columbus. One thing I regret is not jumping on the 6spd Manual TL SH-AWD in stock that Lindsay Acura had last year.

Yeah Hidy Acura left a bad rep with me. They damaged an interior part while installing the remote starter. I only found out after I picked up the car. My dash cam had over 10+ video files which begs the question on why the car was on when they were installing an electronic accessory. Long story short, they replace the part but did not inform me when I picked up the car. After I told them about the audio file, they banned me from the dealership because they were uncomfortable about the dash cam (turns on when the car is on).

Now I drive an hour Superior Acura to get my car serviced. Paul (Service Manager, 30+ years experience) took care of my car and told me that the rattling in the cabin will go away once the car settled (and it did). Hidy has since sold their stores with Superior now owning the local Dayton dealer. I still avoid Superior Acura of Dayton because they still have the same JV service team and Matt the service manager (less than 5-10 years of experience) is still there.

love those wheels, where did you find the 3M clear bra? thanks!

Texas325

Thanks! I usually catch people staring at them as I drive. My friend Julius Poa installed the clear bra. He's done two of my previous cars.

the wheels are beautiful~~~~~~~~~

Thanks!!! I'm getting ready to sell them after my cross country move! Just traded my TL for an MDX. These won't fit the 3G MDX sadly.

On the side not...the TL is no more! I needed something more practical in hauling family, dogs and cargo. Decided to stay within the Acura SH-AWD family.

This is the 4G's replacement. 2016 MDX SH-AWD Advance. This was after washing the car after driving from OH to CA. MDX was a week old before taking that long road trip. Handling is amazing and drives like a TL sized car.

welcome take care of it !!!!!!!!

Nice upgrade.

Texas325

Thanks! I needed something to haul my dogs and family around. So far I've been driving my dogs back and forth every other weekend to my family in the Bay Area. Worth the cargo space and features it has.
