Actually I did take most of it off just messing around one day. I'll finish it up soon. The dealership I purchased the car from is owned by United Auto Group (i.e. Roger Penske). When I bitched about them putting their name on the back and asked that it be removed, I was told it was company policy not to do that. I then asked when I could expect my check from Mr. Penske for the advertising....

Well I've liked 'em so far. They've performed well, look nice and have held up better than expected. I would consider putting the same tire back on there. However, living in the Ozark Mountains we do have a few days of snow and ice each year so Toyo Proxie 4's may be a better choice. Its kind of ironic, when I was a kid my dad had a Toyo Dealership so I always wanted to have a car worthy of a tire with a VR or ZR rating.
By the way, I couldn't give higher marks to Falconi Acura in Vegas from whom I purchased the A-Spec kit.
Weird that my dealership, owned by United Auto Group which is the second largest publicly traded auto retailer in the U.S., couldn't get it.Anybody need to buy OEM wheel(s)??

As for the tint, I have forgotten the specifics other than the front is 35% with the back being quite a bit darker - this is the maximum allowed in Arkansas. Too many rednecks with guns I suppose.

From your pics, yours look more like the chrome ones (which are not the same ones that I am referring to when I say "hyperblack") ; they look more mirrored than the ones on mine. Either way, I really dig yours...looks fantastic!

The camera used was a Nikon Coolpix 4600. Not expensive: about $250 at Best Buy. The pictures here are a little "grainy" 'cause they're so big. All and all I'm real satisfied with it.
Da_bien, you're answer is above in post #16

love it looks like my car, i just need some chrome 18 inch a-spec. I think your rims are the new "chrome look" not the black chrome, can you confirm that? I like them, let me know. Oh and what did the rims cost you? as well as tires. thanks!

Man, I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I've lost my paperwork that says what type of tint it is. I can tell you that the glass on the back doors is very reflective - more so than the front doors and back glass.
Don't know if that helps or not.

I am still contemplating on getting the Aspect Kit for my black TL. The dealer had one installed ready for sale for an additional 7,101...obviously List price. The car did not have NAV, so I just bought the TL with Nav and told myself I'll get the kit later. Did you get a good deal on the package?

By the way, I couldn't give higher marks to Falconi Acura in Vegas from whom I purchased the A-Spec kit. Weird that my dealership, owned by United Auto Group which is the second largest publicly traded auto retailer in the U.S., couldn't get it.
Anybody need to buy OEM wheel(s)??

Are those the tires that came with the rim? or did you buy other tires and slapped them on? they look sexy by the way

The best price I found and paid for when I bought the car was $1,600 for the entire kit and rear lip spoiler, painted and installed. I have seen quotes anywhere from $1,800-$2,500, you have to do your homeowkr and let these rip off dealers know that you know your stuff.
My car is black also.

Just for the underbody kit the dealer quoted me 1037.0 - 20% = 829.60.
