Wow! That's a nice present... I like the color as well. Maybe because I have an NGM...

If you don't mind; did you get a good deal on this? I was looking at a non-type S 07 TL with Navi but the best quote I got was 33K (with destination and pro pack). Just wondering if I should bite or not.

Nice KaMLuNg!

Can you take a pic like the one below with your DRLs, headlights and lower fog lights on during the night when you have a chance? I kinda want to see how they all would look at night.



Thanks.

i got mine for invoice... 31,347... with destination and no pro pack... if i were to get the navi it would have costed me about 1800 more... so i think you are getting a good deal.. especially since the dealer is throwing in a pro package for you... i tried to get wheel locks and all season mats out of the deal.. but he only bit on the wheel locks... all well...

okay will do... but i thought that the fogs come on with the headlights... so that when the headlights and fogs come on, the DRL will turn off... but i will try after work for you...

Question

Nice car. Congrats.

Got a question though. In the daytime pic of the gauges, I see the trip computer lit but don't see the blue rings around the gauges lit up. Are they always on like in the previous models when driving during the day with the headlights off? I don't see them or the red arrows lit up, assuming the lighting dimmed?

Thanks.

Trini, i tried to take the pic for you... but the fogs will not stay on with just the DRLs... they only turn on when the headlights are on... i tried with just the parking lights and still no fogs...

OK, no problem. I didn't know they work that way.

Thanks for trying

Very Slick Mr. Kam Sir! I actually like the color. You don't see it a whole lot. It's different. Get that ASPEC kit and let's see what you're cooking with then! I think that may silence the naysayers.

the end of an era...

sadly she was towed away today... it was only a 10 mph impact and the airbags didn't deploy but insurance deemed it a total loss...

she was a great car with zero issues for the 8 years and 100k+ miles we had on her... sadly nothing in the Acura lineup is currently appealing so we will see what the replacement is...
