Smile Welcome a 3rd Gen Newbie...

I just wanted to say what's up to everyone... after a couple days of negotiating with the dealer, I finally picked up my '07 TL-P WDP/Ebony Interior/Navi tonite. I was kind of mad at first b/c I finished paying off my '99 TL on 8/14/07 and then right on queue my tranny died last week, so I'm jumping from one note right into another... but I can only be mad until I see her. Once I look at this beauty, I can tell it gonna be worth another 60 months (ouch ). I've got a few mods planned... tint, oem body kit, rims, etc. This gonna be fun, I'm looking forward to learning new things from everybody. Later!

Congrats! The A-Spec body kit looks great on that model. Especially WDP.

Thx for the kinds words everyone... I'll have pics up ASAP. Now I have a question... the dealer put the front license plate bracket on but I think ghetto on my car. Is there anything I can do w/ the holes that will be left if I remove it?

check in the glove box of your car when you get it, there should be some plastic pieces that should fit in the holes where your license plate attached. If not you can ask the dealer for some. If you end up having to buy them look around first for prices.

Thx for the heads up... will the plastic pieces be noticeable ?

First off - congrats on the car!

Regarding your question...the plugs / caps, whatever you want to call them, look similar to the tow hook cap in the front bumper (which is just to the left of where your license plate is if you're looking at the car from the front).

Thx Steve...
I just got back from the dealer and after I flipped out on them, they finally agreed to order the plugs at no cost. But he's still being a d*ck about my wheel locks, he's saying they are an option even though every other car on the freakin lot has them. Oh well... last time I buy a car from Metro Acura in Philly!
