2005 TL New Colors????

Im sorry to post another question about the 2005 model, but Im waiting for that since we are so close its release. However, I am come to the conclusion of going with Anthracite or White. Now, I feel in love with the CAMEL interior; it looks more classy eventough many people here hate it. It is just so overwhmly rich and fullfilling. So my question is, Im leaning more towards the White but I would love to have the Camel with it. I think it will look so hot! With some TINT, awesome! So you guys think we are going to have that option available for the 2005?

One thing about the anthracite, it looks dull. Meaning, that the gray does not shine. If any anthracite owners also thought this in the beggining, what did you guys do to get any more shine, if such thing exist. Like if you used Zaino or NXT.

Thanks for your input!

I just saw a WDP+Parchment Navi 04TL in Wall Street today. Shining and hot.


We don't know if 05 would have the similar combos yet, please be patient. 05 will be a good choice, too.

I dont think you can do that. Combos come already pre-built from factory dependent on external colors. Now, if you are talking about getting camel seats, door panels, etc. than that will be a complete story and alot of work, IMO.

I just put 3 coats of Zaino on my Anthracite 6MT and it is awesome - like a mirror. If you let it get dirty, however, it can look "just grey". One of the great things about Zaino is the detail spray. (called gloss enhancer - I think) Once you do the full Zaino, in just 5 minutes you can take a slightly dirty car back to full shine. It's great.

Ditto. I have 3 coats of Zaino on my Anthracite TL and it definitely shines. I think Boltjames put it very well in an older thread when he said that, depending on the light, Anthracite can be the most beautiful color ever produced by Acura or it can be the dullest. However, I find the the lighting is usually just right.

White also looks great, especially with tinted windows. That would have been my second choice.

I have Redondo Red/CAMEL and I think CAMEL is very classy color for interior.
