Is this the 2007 TL model? Didn't think TL is even released in Japan or China.

With the turn signal mirror, that gives us hope (the 3rd gen) to replace the part.

WOW! NICE FIND! It is true then.

by the way.. its only a rumor about the 07 model. That is the china model that someone posted about a while back. No one knows why those changes were made. Makes me wonder about the A-Spec kit and how it will cover the bottom light/reflector.

Crap, I can't see if we get clear tailght for 07.

Great, we are getting signal on mirror.



Backuplight has been moved to put "WIDE" chinese license plate for your info.

Hmm, interesting. I like the turn signals in rear view mirror, except I don't like how its presented. It looks to chunky to me.....

So what is lurking under the tape over the headlights ? They taped up all the branding but there isn't any in the headlights. What could it be ?

I noticed the wheels don't have that indented part by the tire needle....i guess that means they don't have the TPMS??

I have an 05 so I don't know what it's like to have or if it's really that big of deal, but just pointing it out.

Nice find!

I wonder who will be the first to do a side mirror swap.

I read in a magazine the Acura brand will launch in Japan sometime in 2008.

They don't get TPMS in China.

They do get Side Blinker on mirror - although I agree it doesnt look as nice as TSX's

I REALLY want cleared tailight. It's damn sexy. Check photos from concept TL back in 2004.

I like that mirror better than the full-wrap lightbar I see on other mirrors. I like that it is only a small window of lights on the back.

haha clear tail light is nice but the side turn singel on the mirror isn;t that great
right now the TL has a clean look on the side if they have lights on the side it won't have that look anymore too many lights around the same area

I agree- I like the concept but seeing it here doesn't do much for me.

If in fact the U.S. 07 TL gets the turn signal mirrors I hope they are retrofittable on 04-06 TLs. IMO they are a great safety feature. Why Acura did not at least make the side markers on the front fender blink with the flasher is beyond me.

Anyone see the side marker in the rear is clear like the front markers. Ours are red. The clear ones look really good!!! Anyone know if we can make ours clear like that one!?

i agree if they made the side blink with flasher it'll be much better infact that is actually nicer than having a it on the mirror REALLY clean look
