I believe it uses the Inspire front bumper, even tho it is under the Acura badge.

Yes, those are called Sidemarkers, which you see on all late-model German cars.

Did you guys know that the cars in Hong Kong has a button for folding side mirrors? This is due to their tiny parking spaces even in garages. The button itself looks like the mirror defrost buttons we have here, but I would love to give that up for the power folding mirrors.

Does Naples Gold look darker than this or is it Naple Gold?

Where can you find the color code? There are none on the door trim.

So does Japan. I was thinking of getting this. Isn't that hard, Just get the Mirrors, and tap it to the defroster button.

You have to do some modification as far as the angle on the INSPIRE/SABER mirrors. Remember, it's opposite driver side.

They don't have Inspire in HK unless it's grey market. Our cars are called 3.2TL in HK also, so if you want Inspire stuff, you can get them from Value or straight from Japan.

I can't speak for whoever you talked to, but here's the link to HK Acura site. Only Honda has Inspire, there's no such thing as an Acura Inspire, unless you put the emblem on your car

HK Acura Site

BTW, HK only has the Type-S model and it's going for $38,831 USD not including their crazy taxes; which would make the car around $60,000.....I think we have it cheap here.

There is no sticker on the panel where it say color

only VIN , Car weight, and Tire pressure

Its a 99 TL, I believe its look more like a Naple Gold, nothing close to Silver looking. anyone can tell its goldish from any angle.
however, I thought year 99 only have Heather Mist ????

Different countries have different color combos.

Heather Mist in the US only had Parchment for the interior as well.

I was in HK this summer too, i went to some mod/part store to ask for some TL/Inspire parts. They was like "oh, we have to order it for you, coz not much ppls modding the ACURA"..well.......
BTW i only saw few TL/TL-S in HK. Really in HK i rather buy a BMW or Audi for close to $400,000HKD. i can get a A4 or 318CI. And don't forget thos expensive gas and other fee. they chager you by how many liters your car are. So a 3200CC will pay more yearly fee than a 1800CC BMW does.

there are some fun facts for buying a car in hk...

a BMW 540i costs about 120k US
a lexus LS430 costs about 88k US
a MB S320 costs about 100k US

a 4 cyclinder accord or camry about 30k US
while a subraru WRX STi is about the same price (but insurance is another story...do not accept drivers who are under age of 30)

One of my firend have a R32 GT-R in HK, he is 20 and can't find a company to insure him, so he got to use his dad name for th car, his dad is in mid-40 and they have to pay like 40000HKD for yearly, which is 5000USD. don't forget about gas and parking.
