How rare is this color combo?

I do know that TL has RRP but I thought they always came with Carmel or tan interior but never see this, was this possible when bought brand new?

Rare color, but the interior looks like they had a party in it.....





......for about 5 years.

I see that butt imprint that your guy was talking about on the 04 model.

Do you mean dropped as in not offered anymore? Because my car is a white '08 with a black interior. Very hard combo to find in my opinion.

Look at the INTERIOR dings, scuffs, scratches etc.

That'll buff right out

no! white and black interior is pretty common. Actually white with anything is common. RRP is not common at all. RRP with black prolly less so. after 05 it was RRP and camel or ivory. then RRP was replaced with MRP i think in 07 i believe

ahhh, gotcha. Sorry about that. Maybe it's just my area. I kept searching up to a 400-500 mile radius and white on black was tough to find, let alone one in good condition. That's why I scooped up my gem real fast.

No worries! I really love RRP, but I would have preferred the "more sporty" black interior, but buying new in 06 it was not an option. Part of me likes the "more lux" look of the woodgrain and thats what I have, but I really dont agree with faked material............but its not like its real carbon fiber anyway so it really didnt matter.

I think that RRP/MRP are rivalable with KBP.

I think I have probably the rarest combo from 2004-2005 factoring in 6MT and Navi. Most of the Deep Green Pearls I've seen have the Parchment (light light beige) interior. I had to custom order this car which took 3 months from date of order to delivery.

I have 05 RRP w/black interior, one of my favorite colors, not a fan of tan interior. Glad my interior doesn't look like that though.

I know...pics, they will come sooner or later

I have an 05 TL RRP w/Parchment which I think looks the best with the contrasting black dash and parchment lower panels just like my 91 Acura integra. I've seen a few RRP w/black interiors in both M/T and AT but I hate black interiors.

OP that car needs some major TLC inside. and those scuffs are really bad, I have one scuff on the rear right side door from a mirror I was picking for my mom, I cant get rid of it.

I hated when they went to black and tan interior. i liked the 2nd gen interior colors with the darker tan and tan vs the black and tan. they did that too the s2000 aswell and i thought it was a bad move. my dad has an 03' GPW s2k that was the last year with all red interior that hasnt been washed since 2005 and only has 9000 miles on it. pains me to see it sit there when i visit him.

I have a black on black 06 TL and sadly the leather looks like that car even though I take such good care of the seats. I've read other threads where people have said the same thing. The black really shows the wrinkles and lines.

Nope carmel or tan/taupe leather is best showing wrinkles.

yes the interior is not the best but considering the mileage it could be worse. Looks like it has lots of wrinkles but no rips.

3 batteries and 2 sets of tires so it can sit. It should be one of the only originals left, but time will tell
