2 bucks in a coin operated wash and a couple of clean drying cloths plus 10 minutes of wiping New cars are so easy to clean IMO.

Tires are Dunlop, I'm not sure why I didn't get Yokohama but this is what they come with here... Still nice tires.


Here is the dash kit that was asked about. You can see the carbon fibre in the back too.




Sorry about the darkness, the car is in my garage.

The dealer had it on the Aspec in their showroom and I liked it so had it put on my car. It's an aftermarket thing that they sold with the car.

They are a-spec wheels.
They come with the A-spec package right from the dealer. Price was worked into the A-spec package and I eventually got it all much cheaper than buying the kit and the wheels separately.

Black chrome, they suit the anthracite so well, I love it. At night with the tinted windows... the car is just gorgeous.

The aluminum trim on the interior dash?

The trim is actually an aluminum colored plastic... I like it, I think it sets my car out from other TL's. Some don't like it and I respect that but I feel it gives the interior a more sporty look.

If you'd like more pics of the interior please let me know. I've been loving my car BTW!

I wonder if I should put the Type-S tails and side markers on....
Is the Type-S lip spoiler bigger? I think I want that too...
How about the 2007 Side Mirrors with the led lights on them.. is that addon possible?

Damn Acura with all these little extras I want them all + a 3 point steering wheel :P

I agree, I don't even take my 10 year old TL to the coin car wash. You have an awesome ride, and to keep it that way A visit to the Wash/Wax forum is indeed in order.

Congratulations!!

I've had the car for about 6 months dude, hehe. Winter's here in Calgary are brutal on the car. We get crazy freeze/melt cycles because of our chinooks and of course the city uses massive amounts of salt but I do the best I can to keep it clean when the car washes are open.

Oh and we have a bylaw that wont let us wash our cars on our driveways. The touch-free drive in car washes are what I like.

Well Hell, why didn't you say so? (LOL) For $2 it sounded like you were going to the stall and wiping that awful brush on the car. That's pretty cheap for a touchless car wash. If I paid $2 for one around here, I would just get sprayed with water. If I wanted to see suds, I would have to get out and spit on the car. I applaud you for doing what is necessary to keep the car clean given the weather conditions.
