Yeah... from passenger side door, maybe? Or from center of rear seat for seeing the wheel in a larger context.
Thanks! I know I'm asking a lot,
but I know there's others who've had their interests piqued by this discussion...

It's a mystery to me that the car came with a CF wheel, especially since you guys are paying $350+ to add it.

OK... I didn't check back before I snapped some pics but could do more later, let me know.
As for a few comments since I posted last...
The "A" is chrome, I have an 06 and it is chrome on mine, I think the previous pics make it look clear or clear coated due to the flash on the camera.
I bought my car brand spanking new off the dealer lot, there was no upcharge or anything on the CF wheel... I was at the Chicago meet this weekend and I was the only one with a CF wheel, this just adds to my mystery as to how it came into existence on my car... Not complaining in any way, I'll take it, but odd to me that it came with it without paying for it.
I'll take the "requested shots" later tonight....

Anyway, here are some super-size shots of the interior and wheel... If you open one, you'll see why I commented on the interior cleanliness, mostly dust. But 56k and no-way, these pics show everything... I hope I picked up all the beans.
BTW - pics come down in a week or so... They take up too much room.

Sorry boys, but not a fan of the 4 spokes. Acura didn't make it nice enough to my likings.
