My 09 6 Speed Crystal Black Pearl/Ebony Tech

Picked it up a week ago and got the windows tinted with 20% and a clear bra put on the front. Also had the lip spoiler installed and it came with the splash guards.

Yes they installed the lip spoiler at the dealership a few days after I bought the car.

The Clear bra was $239, it's 18" and covers the hood, fenders, mirrors and door handles. I'm actually getting the clear put on the bumper on Friday.

Very nice! I plan to get the clear bra for the front. The lip spoiler looks good.

I would definitely like to get some 18 or 19's to put on but we'll have to see.

As for the clear bra I'll post some close up pics soon. I'm actually getting the bra put on the front bumper on Friday so we'll see how that goes, I know most people don't do that but it's free so I can't pass that up.

I just drove the car from Colorado to Las Vegas today and the gas mileage was great, over 31 mpg. I'll post pics of that soon too.

Thanks for the comments.

Ha, but the 09 TL makes the TSX and the TSX grill look GOOD.

The tint is slightly hard to see through at night but really not that bad. I'll also try to get some pics up soon of the clear bra, I also was lucky enough to have the clear bra put on the front bumper for free.

Do you have clear bra on your headlights? If so, does it reduce light output?

I do not have the clear bra on the headlights, can't think of any reason to have it on the headlights.

it's like those leather nose mask you see on cars, except this one is clear, or 95% invisible. it is very durable, you can't even push a pen through it (the dealer let my try this on a 3M material). so it's basically a thin, clear material that adhere's to your front end of the car. it can be placed on side mirrors, headlights, foglights, bumper, hood, and front fenders. it protects really well from rock chips but can range from 600-800 dollars installed. i got the whole front covered for 750

Hey csanchez70: are you near or around Denver area? can you share the shop name who did the install for you and how do you like it so far? I'm in Denver and just bought 09 CBP/Ebony non-Tech version of TSX and want to do Tint and clear bra asap.
If you could post some close-up pictures, that would be great too.
Thanks.

I have an 04 TL and I really love the new TSX. My girlfriend and I took a drive past our local Acura dealership and I didn't even look at the 4G TL, I got out of the car and looked in every TSX they had. I love the black, but I don't want to deal with swirls.


Totally off topic, but DAMNNNNN THAT 350Z in the background is sweet!
