They need to take off their decal from your trunk lid ASAP! Beautiful ride!

I got ride of the Jay Wolfe decal so it's even better! I really have to get used to the start and stop ignition on this ride, very different. It works kind of like a hybrid but not really. Most expensive car I have ever bought but I think it's worth it! I love the ride and quality, so much better than my 2012 TL which looked like a grandpa car. I'm wondering should I paint the chrome front black or insert carbon fiber? I don't know which one to go with. Any ideas?

Beautiful ride man! Congrats!

If you did it, I would wrap the grill insert with gloss black vinyl as well as the roof.

Black shield is a great option on the BWP!

The radar unit is behind the chrome shield so Acura says that you should NOT paint this area.

Congrats
Beautiful car

Stock suspension ?

Only thing that bothers me about the body kit is how it looks around the rear reflectors on the bumper. Wish it looked smoother back there instead of so tacked on

Was this only for Advance models? I think the OP has the tech model.

You are correct - no fog lights on the front. Please ignore my post.

Good looking car OP. Love the white with the kit.

Edit: OP. Could you do me a favor and check to see if the Vossen wheels have the markings JWL or VIA anywhere? They might be behind the wheel so I understand if you dont want to check.

No worries. There is a good chance the markings would be behind the spokes if they are there.

Thank you.

Do dealers mark up the vossen like crazy, or pretty reasonable ?

Beautiful car, welcome to the family. As far as the painting the grille goes, I think wrapping the chrome part of the "beak" with black and leaving the logo and accent outer chrome alone is the best look and looks great on white.

A lot of the features are great and some do take a bit of getting used to, and the idle stop is an area of anger in a lot of members. I don't really mind it much because I've gotten used to "cheating" it a bit.

Hope you enjoy your new ride and if you have any questions, this is the place...........oh, and your dealer too!
