Looks nice. Did you do something to the door handle? looks Like you added chrome. I like the camera. I really want to look into getting it soon.

Looks like you're years overdue on a dentist appointment

Nice ride though.

Yeah, I bought that Chrome Door Trim kit off of Ebay just to test it out and see what it would look like. My old TSX already had the chrome piece on the door handles which i really liked and wanted to see if I could mimic that on the TL.

I'm going to leave it on for a few days and see if it grows on me...

LOL!! Yeah, that was my buddy's teeth. I'm in the first and second pics. I thought I'd screw him over and post that one up as well... ahaha.

The camera is great quality though as you can see...

I bought "Wendy's Camera" - a lot of the forum members have bought and installed this with their vote of approval. I definitely like it.

Here's the link to one I found on sale.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUPER...spagenameZWDVW

I paid: $129.00 + $10.00 shipping + $3.35 insurance = $142.35

That's the Carbon Fiber Interior Trim kit for the front only. There's a rear piece to go on the AC vent in the back.

I bought it from Open Road Acura of Wayne.

Thanks! No wax yet. I'm going to wait one more month before the winter season starts to kick in. Which means I need to go out and buy a Porter Cable soon. Hah.

I do wash the car practically once a week and detail the inside and out at the same time.

Yeah... i'm one of "those"

The grill mod can be done to the upper one as well. I'm pretty sure there are a few folks on here who have done it, albeit, there's a little more work involved.

WOW!!! What a great wax job!!! MY TL, when brand new from the dealer, didn't even look half as shiny. It must have taken you a lot of elbow grease to get it done!!

The only wax that this car has seen was the wax the dealer applied to it right before handing it to me.

Six washes later by me and my trusty Mr. Clean Auto Wash... it still retains its immaculate color and shine.

How did you go about doing the lower mesh grill mod? I've seen it before, but I like the type of mesh you used. Where did it come from?

No, by 1 year old I meant the Year of the vehicle. It's a 2006, but I just bought it brand spankin' new less than a month ago.
