So, I'm on the Acura Owner Link page, checking out "My TL".

At the bottom of the "Interior Features" section, I notice:

In-trunk storage tray
In-trunk shopping bag hook

Excuse me, but where the heck are they at? I couldn't find anything about these in the Owner's Manual. The rest of the list is accurate - I suspect these are somewhere, and I'm just a little dense.

BTW, I love my new TL!

Those sound like cut and paste errors from the Odyssey manual! They are probably the same place as the signal mirrors.

Congrats on your TL! I take it you have no untoward vibrations from your tires?

Hehe , their website is apparently doing some update recently, I have difficulty to check the site sometimes. Don't know what they're working on...

I am wondering why my wheels are painted, the site says they are machine polished?

Hey, Mike!

I can't say that I've noticed any vibrations yet. In fact, I can't say that I've seen anything wrong at all. The body fit and finish look great.

Regarding the vibration issue, I seem to remember folks mentioning that it occurs somewhere around 50 <-> 55 MPH, but I don't remember if it was associated to any particular RPM on the engine (which would be different for the 6MT vs. the 5AT).

No flatspotting that I could tell, either.

Also, I installed a wood trim package yesterday that looks pretty darned good, IMHO. I don't think the dealership could have put it in any better. It matches the stock trim perfectly. I know that the wood trim isn't for everybody, but I think the additional trim that I added helps make the look more cohesive.

The Navi is darned cool, too. The voice recognition is better than 95% correct, once I learned how to phrase things properly. I already needed it to find places in town that I had no idea how to get to - like finding the nearest AutoZone or a street that I had no idea of how to get to.

The driving characteristics are great - I got this car to replace my BMW convertible, and I don't think that I'll be comparing cars to my BMW anymore. The TL is setting my new standard.

I'm afraid I'm hooked.

About the only minus (and it could turn out to be a big one for me) is visibility. I am having a really tough time determining how far things are behind or in front of the TL. Backing up is getting very nerve-wrecking ...

Cheers!

gotjazz: where did you get the wood trim set and how much?

żGotJazz?

I got mine at Exotic Wood Dash.

You can see the layout of the pieces for WD541B (My setup with Navi) here.

The price was slightly over $200, including the shipping.

I'll try and post some pictures soon, like maybe tomorrow.

If you have it, you'd notice it at 50-55 mph. In easy driving, the trans would be in 5th gear and the engine turning about 1500 rpm. Flatspots on the front tires set up a harmonic that you'd feel as a shimmy in the steering wheel.

If your car doesn't have the vibrations, I'm very happy for you!

I believe they are referring to the trunk tray and cargo net you get with the propack option at the dealer.
