Pics Of A-spec Tl Off The Dealer Lot

THIS IS MY NEW TOY!!, 5AT/ NAVI Black /Ebony A-spec. I got this car two weeks ago, and got a new digital Camera, so i thought i would share the pics. I have plans to add two headrest screens and dvd player, and thats all thats going to be aftermarket on this car.

Very nice. I really like the OEM 18" rims on the black TLs.

Wow! Great car!

I'm putting in my order soon for a TL in NBP and I've been debating over whether or not to do the whole A-Spec package (definitely going to do the OEM 18's at least). Your pics really sold me.

How do you like the feel of the A-spec springs and shocks? Did you test drive the stock TL to have a basis of comparison?

Congratulations on the new car.

Actually i was kind of lucky in one way, becuase my springs and my breaks came in a week later, so i still took the delivery without the A-spec Springs, and got to see what the real difference is, and you can def. feel a different car after the springs. That is the only thing this car needs is a upgraded springs package, otherwise the Non A-spec version is awesome as well.

You can't add headrest screens on the stock headrests....it's tilted too far forward for a good install....I was going to go that route but found out later that I couldn't.....I ended up getting a 9" flipdown DVD monitor from the ceiling....worked out fine. (You can probably do a headrest screen if you can find aftermarket headrests that will fit on a '04 TL but I had no luck).

You got a beautiful ride there. I will hold off on the bodykit for a little first and see how I like the car just stock. Plus I am sure the prices of the A-Spec pieces will slowly fall. I'm paying cash for mine so I need a little time to allow my bank account to recuperate before spending more new baby. Be sure to take plenty of shots of her.

YUP Cuz, I love the ride, man i fell in love with the wheels soon as i saw them up close and in person. I saw them on the web and they didn't look all that, but when i went to the dealer with one of my best friends, he was like you have to get these wheels, and then i drove the car, and realized that this car has to have some new springs, so i just went ahead and got the whole deal (a-spec). I love it, i get so many "i have not seen any of them look like this"..............thats what its all about, being different, and having something that everyone else wants!!!

ya man i am from NC, and i got mine from Leith Acura in Raleigh, i paid 35,000 out the door, for a AT/Nav, without the A-spec. then i added 5603.28 for the a-spec, which brought my total to 40,603.28 out the door. So, I thought I got a great deal at 35,000 out the door for a navi (w/taxes and tags).

let me know if you need some help, and i can give you my salesman info, he was helpful with my purchase. They got me the intrest rate that i wanted, so pretty good people at leith.

hey man, I am going thru the same thing with the headrests now, but i am going to use those snap on headrest mounts which will hold the screens up behind the headrest. so, that will be my current fix until i can get another way to mount them. I looked in getting replacement headrest and put them in there and save these just in case if i want to sell the car, i called acura and they told me ($240, per headrest). So, now the headrest stands are going to do.
