Congrats! They're nice cars.
For the floor mats, I would throw in some cheap rubber ones for now, then start looking for some carpet ones when there won't be any more crappy winter weather. We have an 05 with the tan interior, and it gets dirty really easily.
I always check the Black Market out, but I have also heard that here is a good place to get parts

off top of my head, not sure on that foglight, but for yourmats, I'd highly recommend the acura all weather / rubber ones.

they will keep the inside of your car clean. when I got my 06 CPO the OEM carpet matgs were like new...it almost looks like the dealer put a new set in there, but with kids, mine would be ruined in no time, so I put in the rubber ones. just laid them on top of the OEM ones...

you can find a good price on the rubber OEM Acura all weather mats online..many Acura dealers will sell parts via ebay, get that price, then call your local dealer and get them to match the price...then just pick them up there.. that's what i did.

also, if you don't have the spoiler - that's a nice subtle mod that gives the car a much nicer overall look - some don't liek it, but most agree it makes the car look much nicer.

also - i recommend tinting. the RL looks SOOOO much better with nice tint all thew ay around..minus the windshielf of course.

good luck. you will reallyh appreciate this car. for the money - it's hard to beat on the used car market...tons of bang for the buck.

Just picked up my new "10" RL Wht/parchment to replace 06 RL Wht/parchment .... I've always had the bad habit of keeping my old mats which I always covered covered with clear rubber mats all around ....... double check your interior color .... if it's parchment hit me back ......

This eBay auction is over but these gems are always popping up on there.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_500wt_1089

There are also several all season floor mat sets being sold both on eBay and Amazon, both original and aftermarket, for what I'm sure is less than what the dealer would charge. Good luck!

WeatherTech makes some good all season floor mats if that's the type you want. They are guaranteed for ten years and are much cheaper than the Acura Dealer costs. You can also buy just the front or back or the full set.

...in about five minutes of winter use.

I didn't get all-season mats, I got OEM carpeted black ones. Look great with the parchment interior, and they don't show the dirt.

I agree 100%! WeatherTech makes great mats and trunk liners for the RL. I got some 2 years ago and i love them! PERFECT fit and very high quality. I am impressed.

I got a set for our 2007 Sienna - even better! They cover well, fit nicely, do NOT slide/move at all and are easy to clean/wash.
Price was better than OEM for both cars.

Good luck!
