I picked up a 2006 Acura TSX in April and recently, I noticed that the panels on the door are all blue on the car except on the driver's side, which is silver. It's a bit odd and the first thing that comes to mind is the cause has been in a collision before -- the carfax had no Information on this (I went along with the carfax, which said the car had not been in any accidents...)

Picture 2:

I'm not sure why It would be like this, unless this is done by Acura...

 

looks like the previous owner did that.
they come SILVER from the factory.
and all it looks like he did was color them. lol

try wiping the blue off.


Check your bumpers, they should have matching VINs.
if not, your car has been in an accident

 

Welcome Newb... Does it still have the protective film on it?

 

^nice, it could be t he protective film!!!!


please pay pal, Heavy_RL $3000.000

 

In the 2nd pic it looks like it's already started peeling in the upper left. It was like this on my '09 as well. Some dealers peel it for you, some don't.

 

so how would I peel the others to match?

 

^peel the blue laminate protective film off.


Now, you have to paypal me $4000.00

 

Thanks, and another question lol, are they replaceable? I peeled off one of them and there's a huge dent ;o

 

^yes, although rather expensive.
I presume that those are not the originals.

as keeping the laminate on for 6 years would be a major feat!

 

well the car doesn't have many miles, so I wouldn't be surprised. It's very clean and the only damage is from when I backed into a van two weeks ago... cost me $1400 to repaint the back bumper... something tells me that I overpaid

 

You'd be suprised. I still have the blue laminate on mine. Sure it's starting to peel in some places but I figured when I picked up the car they looked fine so I just left them on there

I don't believe replacement ones would have the laminate, as that is usually only on there when the car is shipped from the factory.

 

Our 08 TSX still has the blue tint on perfectly intact.

 

Sorry, I'm sure you didn't meant this to be funny, but I have to tell you that this post drew an audlible laugh from me.

 

what the heck guise!!!!

they are meant to be taken off!
you two have plastic covers over your couches at home huh?

probably even seat covers over the leather seats in the TSX.

 

Nope, none of the above sir!

 

Nope, I know they are supposed to be taken off but there's no harm leaving it on either!

 

It adds "value".

 

Lol...
