2014 P-AWS w/ KRELL

Purchased this car on Thursday of last week after selling my 07 TL type-S which I'd had for 6 years to the day. This car is amazing and can't wait to learn more about it. Currently trying to figure out if it is an Advance or Tech pack with the Krell audio. Any insight into this will be greatly appreciated.

You have an Advance with Krell. Your steering wheel has lane keep assist, which are those two buttons on the lower right. Tech package does not have those two buttons. That's a clean civic, don't see to many of those in that condition.

Also the advance package has rear sun shades on the doors and the rear window has a power window shade. That button is on the roof by your moon roof buttons.

That's what I thought but, wasn't sure. Thank you for clarifying. Also, thank you for the kind words on the Civic. Just trying to keep it clean and period correct.

Welcome. Nice color.

Several of us here evolved from TL>RL>RLX which feels very organic in retrospect. But leapfrogging from a TL>RLX will have familiar-ties to you, while still contrasting the Type S aggressiveness to the RLX comfort, room and sophistication. The value of a 2014 RLX PAWS is extraordinary even when compared side by side to a contemporary priced model loaded TL/X or Accord.

First and foremost, big thanks to Mike for providing a lot of helpful insight.

Cleaned the car again this weekend and did a few small things. Swapped the reverse and trunk light bulbs for V-LED 5k white. Also had a spare set of Mugen license plate bolts so swapped those out. Again, nothing crazy right now considering I'm still learning and getting used to this wonderful machine. Have a few things on the way so, more updates in a week or so.

Removed the RLX in favor of the LEGEND. Also found this old Mugen plate and thought it looked cool.

After owning this car for a month and putting almost 3000 miles on it, all I can say is wow. While there are some minor bugs, overall couldn't be happier.

Recently got the windows tinted with 35% Suntek carbon series.

Looks great! Minus the Legend it looks like my SH. I went with the 35% Lumar with the nano stuff and it really works well. The next step in darkness seemed too dark to me.... I may get the windshield tint at some point. The SH trunk significantly smaller. Not my dd so not really an issue, but definitely don't take it to my weekly Costco visits! I've had that Legend emblem in my bay cart for awhile now... i think i'll pull the trigger finally. (edit, trigger pulled, haha)

Do it The door sills are on the to-do list as well as Legend floor mats (LHD from the Philippines). For now, am enjoying custom ACURA floor mats from Lloyds.

Thanks! Don't have a link to the mats but, will keep you posted if we're able to secure a source to purchase them for us in PH.

Came out from dinner to this pleasant surprise.

Even though the 2014's came with an Acura leather manual case, couldn't resit picking this up and the quality is considerably better!

Mine when into the local dealer this morning, the service tech saw the Legend badge and asked about it. He said he liked it, and took a picture of it. I thought that was interesting.

That usually happens to me when I take my Civic to a dealership to buy parts, fluids, filters, etc.

Photobucket has all of the sudden decided to ask for money in order to be able to host pictures on this site. Therefore, I will be re-posting them now and will give a 3 month, 8000 mile update.

Few pictures after it's first detail.

Didn't want the floor mats to conflict so, with some help from fellow azine Legend owners, I settled on the Lloyds Luxe.

Also picked up an Acura sunshade, some led's for the reverse bulbs and had a few extra laying around that would swap into the trunk.

This car continues to impress, even with the nav lag and other minor bugs. One thing that I've been thinking a lot about was tires. Carmax put 2 new ones on the rear but, the front were pretty low. Not liking the current tires, I was torn wether to replace all 4 or just settle for getting 2 new to match the rears. A nail decided that for me and I ended up getting 4 new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ in 255/40. This has transformed this into a whole new car! Overall, couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Looks great! I had Graphite Luster Metallic on my 2012 TL and man could that paint pop with a nice polish and wax!

Have you thought about debadging the P-AWS? All you need is some fishing line and 5 minutes.

It is a pretty nice car. After mine being fixed I am starting to enjoy it again. I see you had a TL-S, I have both and now I can't see myself without it.
