Ding ding ding. Too easy of a game, I guess.

Well, I never wanted this car tinted. However, I bought this car in Texas and ALL of the cars are tinted by the dealer, so I was too late. I just think the tan interior looks great from the outside with the milano red paint and don't want to hide it. If the interior was black, I probably would have left the tint. Under the right lighting, the tint made my interior look greenish.

Thanks!

Hmmmm... I'm not sure which caps you're thinking about, but what I did was have a local sign shop make a machined-look circle to cover the ASA centercaps and then a black Acura logo to go over that... all four wheels was $20 installed, and they look perfect.

I got her at John Eagle Acura in Houston, Texas. I drove from Kansas City to get it since they were the closest dealer with the MR/Parchment/6MT combination.

Nahh... I don't like the look of the OEM kit on '06+. The changes they made to the standard look (with the front, side and rear all flaring out a bit compared to '04-'05) are perfect they way they are.

It's Bleser, not blesser.

Happy to oblige (and I know, she needs a good detail job to get rid of the swirls):





The center caps are the same caps that came with the ASA AR2 wheels - they are just now covered with vinyl decals that a local sign shop made for me (one machined-silver circle and then the black Acura emblem over the silver).

oh.. smart. hehe

you didnt have any luck trying to find oem ones????
i wish my tsx ones would fit. i like how they're engraved..
thanks BLESER. for the quick pics..
=)
im considering getting these asas. unfortunately tho i missed the set for $200.. [1 was messed up anyways].. only downside for me is the extra lugs because its a universal.. just doesnt look too appealing for me!
but regardless they look good imo.

I've had two sets of ASA rims now (AR1s on one car and AR2s now) and have had great luck with them. Get 'em!
