Just did it with a towel and grips, look's awsome. My only issue was I went alittle hard with the grip's and got a couple scratches in the leather knob. That was MY bad though. All in all

Great mod for free!

I was just reading about this and decided to do it! I did it about five minutes ago and it only took me 20 seconds on my TL-S. I think it looks great! plus I like the feeling on your hand.

its not a base TL, its a Type-S

you can tell because the "aluminum" trim is different than the base model...it fits on the base models though if you feel like spending the $$

I cut mine, I was warned by my Acura parts guy that the threads in the type s knob can strip easily and to be careful.
