Wow, very cool 5AT A-Spec, brakes... almost everything, all accessories.

Mmm, 30K... maybe good.

Sweet rotors and calipers! I could do without the CF interior, but it is not awful.

Could be. He/She could be salesman or guest of TL forums. Good find. Almost no butt print for almost 3k driving.

Trunk tray circles cut. That is the only think I see bad.

Not a bad looking car. But still kind of pricey. I dont think the "Buy It now " will go. Too close to 05 coming out for someone to get a used one for that much.

Nice car. I wonder why he's selling it with only 2k-something miles on it.

Good question NB, but today, people seem to think nothing about having a car for a month, then moving on.

After seeing this car, I am hoping someone with a 6MT tries to get those rotors for his/her car. Think they will look great with the Brembos.

Could the knob next to the steering wheel be the integrated K-40 that the description says it has? Actually, in the description, it says "Front and Rear K-40 ($1600)" K-40 for $1600? Isn't that a lot?!?!?!? Jeez, mighty expensive.

My favorite part is the one where you buy it but you can't have the title until he clears his loan.

tinted in some fashion, either by opening them up and doing it from the inside, or tinting the outer part of the lens..

Like the rims and the lamps.

Suede headliner? umm ok

I just don't like that carbon fiber kit, there can be too much of a good thing, and he did it. And why debadge 'ACURA' and 'TL' but not the aspec badge?

Are we allowed to contact Mr. XXXX now? I thought the mere mention of this nonvendor got a ban.

Moderator (Ron A) note: You are correct. Thank you for catching this. I have edited my reply, and your quote of my reply, to delete any reference to this banned vendor.
