Stable looks good. But to add, to be honest, I would take the RL back to whomever painted the A-Spec kit and have them do it right this time. Not even a close match-does not appear to be light either as he shadows and light are in the different areas and the shade difference is still the same. Sorry, I'm just very picky about paint matching and sub standard work as I do some painting of my own. Silver is not the easiest to match, been there myself The TL looks great. Nice area.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. You all made me feel welcome just like on the TL side. Now that I have both, I'll just pop in between the 2. Have anyone extend their exhaust tip to make it flush with the A-Spec rear under spoiler?

I have put in the blue LED and with LED in the trunk (both 6 SMT 18 LEDs). Did anyone do the LED mod and put in white LED in the licence plate and reverse light?

I've also got the OEM backup camera in the trunk with 07 trunk chrome trim (came with camera opening). Just waiting to be installed.

I think it's the lighting of the day.... heavy cloud, rain, shade, over cast, etc. the A-Spec kit came painted already in the same color as the car so I didn't suspect any mismatch. I'll take a better pictures next time after I detail the car to see if there is a mismatch. I'm pretty picky when it comes to small things like that too:P thx for the kind words

Acura FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Thanx Dr. Tuna.... well, the 2 cars are as different as they come.... the only things they have in common are the acura emblem and 4 doors.... TL felt lighter on it's feet, faster pickup, stiffer steering, wee bit better gas milage. RL is more solid and stable, corners better, take curves with authority, more insulated, softer steering, more toys. I guess that depends on what you r in the mood for. Tell you the truth, I "LOVE" them both. b/c both of them makes driving enjoyable!

Oh man!! You've got great taste keeping it in the Acura family. I test drove the '09 RL and it is sweet. The only difference between the TL and RL is the RL is more like business suite to golf outfit attire where the TL is more like golf outfit to jeans and sneakers attire. Almost the same but ssooooo different. I plan on adding the '09 RL to the lineup because it is such a great ride. And eventually the MDX will complete the collection.

Congrats!!
