Another ASPEC touch

Added yet another touch to the ASPEC conversion. Another interior piece. Titanium center console trim to go along with the shift knob. I'll get more pics up when its not dark out.

nope, same shift knob regardless of the 2 exterior color choices you had for the aspec since the interior was the same, black on blue 2-toned. Though i will probably be dying the blue leather black to match the rest of my interior

Volly is correct. These are the same trim pieces for the 03 cls. I just ordered them direct from acura, and from the looks of pictures of the 03 tl aspec acura did the same thing and just borrowed the trim pieces from the 03 cls for the canadian aspec

Not a fan of that shift knob at all. Looks cheap, as if it was bought at AutoZone. The Type-S knob is much classier/sporty than the Aspec. The silver trim definately looks hot though.
