My dealer is putting Pirelli Pzero Nero M+Ss on before I take delivery and I have white and blue leds on order for the doors and interior lights. I might add the lip spoiler later. I'm getting 30% tint all around also. I probably won't do to much more than that - the car is pretty nice as it is.

I got the clear bra from a shop on the intersection of 59 and Beltway 8. I think I got mine for around 500 dollars...it covers the whole front bumper - including the underbody kit and the Head lights; both fenders, halfway on the hood, and both side mirrors.
And Yes! its definately worth it..no scratches, no bugs, no rocks chips.
I got it the 2nd week I had the car...The best thing is to get it done as soon as you get the car so it is on from the beginning...But if you already have rock chips or bugs on the front....then I wouldnt get it now.
PM me if you want the contact info for the guy who does it. He did a very decent job. Its been a year I have had it and have had no problems.

Waiting for my first TL
Howdy, I live in the Clear Lake area and am waiting for my TL. Manuals are tough to find. I am loking for an Anthracite with Quartz so it won't get too hot.
I also want to get the windows tinted. Can anyone suggest a good place in southeast Houston? Should I have it done by the dealer?
CHampion Acura said they could do it for $175 to $200.
What is a good % to go with?

)Keep in mind that if you have navigation, a metallic tint will probably alter it's performance and a ceramic alternative will be more expensive (maybe that's why the dealer is charging what they are, ask what type of film they are going to use). If you don't have nav then you can probably get it done for less than $150.
Whomever you decide to use, make sure they install moleskin on the belt mouldings to prevent scratches and that they tint the ENTIRE rear triangle windows. There is a moulding on the window that makes it tough but it will look like shit if they don't do it right. I would check with local shops in your area and just ask a few questions...
