The tighten gas cap message appears on your navigation screen? I wonder if this is specific to US TL's.
On both my base and type-s the tight fuel cap message only appears on the MID, both are canadian

Honestly, this car has a few quirks but I like it. I'll for sure keep her through the winter and spring and maybe look at parting afterwards

Should be a fresh crop of TL's for sale by then to consider lol

I don't know for sure but yes it wakes the Nav screen up from black. Embarrassing when you have passengers riding and it literally comes on every 5 miles or so

Source of my rattle. Used screw driver to give it space to move but not touch anything. Impossible to reach top bolt to remove. It is sitting firm in that position with no wiggle. Drove car and had ZERO Rattle

Nah, I had a buyer and I wasn't comfortable only selling for the price agreed upon so I backed out.
I know the car can get another $1500 so I am holding out.

Hahaha so then you know I was shorting myself. After taking care of a few repairs that I had to negotiate price down on I am really digging this car. The owner regularly had the transmission fluid changed so it shifts near perfect. Gonna take an offer I can't refuse to sell it prematurely.

I see you all over CL like i am lol

Back with another MRP. 1 Owner from Jersey. 135k

Sold my white Type-S, broke even and used cash to buy this puppy. Upgrade in maintenance as you can see seats barely look used. Owner was an Acura employee

Right side has crack, not a double. Hopefully it stays that way.
I can tell you that NOT 1 bulb is burned out in the dash. Even the trunk light is illuminated.
Car is clean, no dents or anything.

The last MRP i sold was a dumb move. I made a couple grand on the deal. However I wanted my MRP back as soon as the kid put the key in the ignition.So I wasn't satisfied with anything else. When this popped up I had to make it happen.

Lol. I don't have anything. Still debating on Endless RPM leather seat covers. I have some Black Chrome A-Specs but I'm not putting them on the MRP. I'm too old lol

Nice pickup!

At least test fit the a-specs to see the look? I think they’d look great!

You'll get no argument from many here.

Given how difficult it is to find ASpec wheels these days I'm toying with buying an 18x8 set of these this spring.

Honestly, @horseshoez for enkei I'm a bigger fan of the RPF1
light, strong, classic look, easy to clean and affordable.
I would search for aspec though...I could swear @BreezyTL had
a set for sale.

I like the RPF1 as well, however, there do not seem to be any available for the TL, or at least, not for the cars with Brembo brakes.

I just checked the Enkei web site, it looks like they no longer make an 18x8 RPF1 meant to fit the TL, regardless of brakes. I know as recently as a year ago they were offered. I like the PF01 as well, but not at something like $320 per wheel.
