There must be something with the floor space being slightly different. There is a new part number for the all weather mats. I was told by the parts guys that the 04 all weather mats can't be used in the 05. I'll let everyone know when I pickup my 05 on Monday.

Another difference (at least in the Canadian version) is for 2005, the overall length has increased.

2004 overall length:
4730mm

2005 overall length:
4809mm

I find that hard to believe. I doubt that they actually increased the legnth of the car. Rather, they probably just trued up the measurements from the 04 brochure; It said 186 inches here in the states (possible error?), whereas the website said 189 inches.

Someone here actually measured their car and said it was 189.

Good call. 4809mm=189.331", so now it confirms my measurement of 189.3 to be accurate.

The Acura website now shows the overall length of the 2005TL to be 189.3".

I'm just going by what's in the brochure.
It could be a typo or the 2004 brochure could be wrong.

I just picked up some '04 all weather mats for my '05 TL and they fit fine.

The parts guy has a different number for the 04 All weather mats from the 05. There may be a slight difference. Just like the stitching on the botton of the front seats on the 05. Probably just many of the small changes that Acura made to fix problems from the 04 that they aren't advertising.
