Saw It In Person! My Dealer Has 7 Of Them! Pics!!!

Went to my dealer to drop off a hard drive i got for the service manager.

So im standing there in the service drive with my service manager having a smoke, and an '04 TL pulls out of the service bay. After i picked myself up off the floor, i said "OMFG".

Chip, the service manager, just looked at me and gave me an ear to ear smile

He walks me in to the bay where there are 2 other '04 TL's sitting there.

They got 7 in last night, and 3 were left at noon today.

So heres pics of the blakc and white TL's i saw. I grabbed the camera and took pix.

The bAttery died before i could get 2 pix i really wanted to take

The spoiler is awesome. both models were autos, without navi. the white one had the spoiler. very VERY nice

UNDER THE HOOD!!!
is a stunning view. bettery dies before i could get a pic

THE TOWER BAR IS 3 TIMES THICKER THAN OURS

the entire engine bay is covered with paneling. all you see is the front ignition coils and the airbox!!!

very nice engine cover too

so so nice

so here ya go, heres wha ti could get before the battery died.

enjoy!!!

OH YEAH THERE ARE NO HEADERS!!!

THE CAT IS BOLTED DIRECTLY TO THE BLOCK!!!!

so crazy....

a few notes i forgot to add in the excitement...

the rear wheel wells are insulated with a felt lining, to reduce road noise.

the spoiler will be avaliable in 2 ways: M5 lip-like and a real sharp traditional spoiler.

there WILL be an OEM body kit, real soon

More about the cats... Apparently there are 2 "pre cats", that bolt inline directly to the exhaust manafold. really cool. lots 'o power increase.

and i think the wheels are a little different than what we have seen.

The gold trim looks stupid. Maybe this dealer thinks he is selling a 95 Lexus. Some people have NO taste.

hahahaha I sit here and laugh as I look at the pic of the brakes. They look the same as the '03. You know what this means.

-shi*ty braking
-problems with warping
-crappy pads

Acura hasn't learned

actually i was talking to the shop manager, hes actually an acura master tech, i guess he took it for a spin... he said not only is the thing on a rail the entire time but the brakes are 10 times better than our tl's... he was ALWAYS b!tching about our brakes...

becides, you want good brakes? buy the M/T ehehhehe

Ya, That gold package looked horrible, maybe the emblems on the rear look better, But the guy was 65 who bought it, so maybe it floats his boat
