Oh shit, look what showed up!
Firstly, made in China and it's labeled "vintage"

Also, I called to find out about the misinformation about quantity on hand and canceled orders.
Acura told me that all orders placed by anyone with a micro-penis are automatically canceled,
which I think is totally fucked up.

Anyway, thanks again for the offer @truonghthe

Dude, I saw a few of those at Acura lately...(on cars)
and wow they make a big difference in looks. From day 1 when I saw
the TSX and TL I thought they were cool...but with aspec...over the top!

Gatr...I got lucky, dude...truong was CERTAIN they were wrong about inventory...
I didn't have my hopes up and then bam, it showed up. Funny enough, I didn't care
much for the rear one...since I can't see it but since it's discontinued AND the only one
I was missing I was like...fuck it...it was like $70 plus shipping...I can live with that. I kept
thinking, if this goes away and I change my mind later I'll be pissed!

I slapped them on...need to detail the interior too

Looking great J! I keep forgetting I have them on my TL. I notice the rear vent every time I crack open the rear doors, it's like opening a sealed vault after many years and discovering what was once done years ago.

By the way, a tard that follows you on IG was trying to tell me about performance gains with the comptech supercharger. He claims it's impossible to hit 400 hp with the comptech blower. Mas nailed 390 or just under that and he didn't have cams, porting work, injectors ect. Imagine if he did and ported / polished the comptech blower as you did (which congratulations on being the 1st to do it and show us the results), he would of had over 400. Then he tries to explain to me about hp vs whp... Last time I checked, when you're on the dyno, the numbers given to you are power to the wheels, not to the flywheel. He was trying to over analyze my statements and make it into a worthless debate. As if it would matter if I said WHP vs HP. Best part of it all, this was coming from someone nearly stock with a catback exhaust system and claims to be your personal friend.. Your own friend didn't understand that you have the comptech and rotrex supercharger. The amount of information that's out there and yet these guys are still clueless..

I know it's a lot, but I also found the metal left side garnish piece for $244 shipped, I believe. Yeah, it's expensive, but it's brand new and does not have a scratch on it. Looks a fuck ton better than the ones I had (which were still in great shape compared to the ones I saw on eBay).

Well, what I plan on doing long term is to either wrap the metal garnish pieces that I have with a clear wrap, or just clear coat them so as to mitigate them chipping.

I think the biggest killer is flipping your seatbelt off...
If you're careful you might not damage them...but yeah, a clear vinyl will get it.

I put clear tape over those parts by the seat belt buckles. It's protected them from getting scratched

Are the base and TypeS metal console trims the same just different pattern? If so, I have a pair sitting in the basement I can ship to one of whores for an undisclosed amount. Let me know if either of you sloooots are interested.

The pattern is different as well as the color. Type S is darker and pattern (diamond) is more spacious vs tighter on the Base model.

I'd only be impressed if he could tell the year-to-year variations of all the trims. Still a lot of work to go, I think.

I'd be more impressed if he knew the factory worker's name who worked on the specific car based on VIN.

He also works at Benihana as "Jose".
