Congrats! VERY pretty car.
Man, IMO that is the ONLY color the OEM TLS wheels look good on.
Good luck installing your clear bra. Post some pics after you get it on the car, please. Does your kit include just the hood and part of the fenders, or does it go over the whole front bumper as well?
I've always wondered about how those clear bras hold up over time...do they lose their gloss? And if you want to remove it after a few years, how would you get it off without damaging your paint? I HATE paint chips...so surely understand the motivation for installing this kit.

I also installed the clear bra on my 06 DMM, i did it myself. I had the car for a year with no problems at all. It holds pretty good, plus the film comes with a 5 year warranty. And all you have to use to remove it is a hair dryer, and it comes right off, without damaging the paint. You can not see it at all unless you get closer to the car. It keeps the same shine as your fresh new paint. I got the one for the whole bumper, the fenders, hood and mirrors. I will post some pictures when I get it done.

Sweet! CBP is the color to go, once I trade my 04 in. I was enjoying the pictures, salivating really, then I saw the automatic. "Nyaaaaaaaahhhhhh...!"
I said.Sweet car by the way. Just keep your windows rolled up all the time

Nice!!!!!! My next mod is tinted windows. And I might do the a-spec kit, I'm still undecided. But I'm not going to lower it, have had bad experiences in the past by lowering the car. I'm sure with the kit and the tinted windows is going to look nice.

But with tint on your car with that awesome color she will look sweet
I think your color and my ASM silver is the best
I love the A-Spec body kit, but the front is a little too large. If anybody brings out a quality front lip that is a little better looking, I will get it.
I wish Acura would re-vamp it to look like the standard TL front A-Spec lip, its not as bulging.
Anyway, your car will look great with tint.

Mind if I ask where you got the clear bra, and what you paid for the kit? You have inspired me to try doing it myself but as for where to buy it...I see wide swings in price which makes me think there are 'genuine' kits and knockoffs.
Thanks!
Thanks!
