Dad's New Toy

So I came home last night and finally was able to take my dads new ride out for a spin. I must say... LOVE the A-spec suspension. I took it out on some ice and snow, and some nice twisting roads and it handled really well. My dad is really happy with it so far as well. Thanks everyone for all the info you helped us with while we were going through the buying process. Much appreciated.

That is one color that is hard to keep clean, but congrats to your dad, I'm sure he will love every moment of it !

Chrome wheels would look great. Why Acura didn't make them OEM I don't know.

If not done already, especially on a black car, though now I would do it on ANY new car, get the 3M clear bra. Very worthwhile.

absolutely.

Also do a search on XPEL, a company that laser cuts patterns. 3M makes the material. Middleman companies like XPEL design the complex patterns and laser cut them, and installers buy the patterns and do the heavy lifting...some installers have so much volume that they have plotters and cutters on premises to cut patterns in their shop.

There are competing materials that may be just as good or better.

There are many threads on clear bras, rock chip protectant, etc. Whatever you do though, do not have the dealer do it, they overcharge for it, you can find local places that do it just as well, but don't overcharge you.
