2020 3rd Gen Appreciation thread (pics)

Like the title says, how has your 3rd gen held up? What have you done in 2020? I’m at 198k relatively trouble free miles and can easily see this thing doing 100k more with no problems. I must admit these are some tough cars and probably the best looking 4 door sedan to come out of the Acura design studio. Let’s wake the 3rd gen section up a little - Share some pics of your car below!






+50hp at least

I bought mine by happenstance in 2020. Couldn't pass on this deal for $500 lol.. What have I done...

New rotors, brakes, wipers, hood struts, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, driver door actuator, oil change, cover for cracked dash, fix rear view mirror, and will do transmission service (i.e., replace transmission range switch, 3rd gear pressure switch, 4th gear pressure switch, and transmission filter in the coming weeks. Plan to wetsand headlights as well.

Here are some pics of my car now. It's on the winter setup right now with the 06 stock wheels. Took forever to find a set of those that weren't beat up. Also I have a dash crack now which is super disappointing. It's by the speaker grille and I'm hoping it doesn't get worse

Are those the Type-S wheels?

And beautiful car. Most gorgeous on the road today. I'll go to my grave saying this generation is the best sedan ever built.

Thank you.

They are from leatherseats.com.

Custom ordered kit. 100% full leather kit. I did the install a few years ago. Took 3 days in total to install.

Interior has taken a beating. But the exterior looks nice... from a distance
