Hubby's Black TL

After a wash, I got out my camera and took pics of my Hubby's TL. Enjoy!

Looks great. You are lucky to have a husband with a TL, and he is lucky to have a wife who takes pictures of his TL.

Did you do anything to the "A" emblem in the grille? My 04 has a black background and I hadn't heard of any changes in the 05, and yours looks silver or gray in color.

It has got that protection package from the dealer. Does that only last six months? If so I'll be giving it a good waxing with NXT when the time comes. The dealer says not to apply anything, is that true?

Yeah I smelled a rat when the dealer offered that ... but since the TL was a big investment we figured what the hell. Good thing I refused it for my RSX I gave my baby two coats of NXT and she came out just fine (see pic below):

I think that's it. Yep they gave us a set of solutions- wash, cleaners, wax etc. I'll check it tonight. They didn't give any instructions though.

Door edge guards and wheel locks. All the dealers I've been to add the protection package. I subtracted the cost from my offer. If the dealer is going to put it on there, let them pay for it.

i'll have to get back to you on that all i know is its industrial use only and u can only get it from the dealer and the good thing about that is that its free because he said its not for resale so they dont know what to charge for it.
