Thanks for the help with the trunk emblem stuff...got it all debaged, 07 lights in, sidemarkers blacked (07's are backordered, will get them when available), and did the headlights last night...color matched them so they match the Anthracite. Looks sweet up close. Talked with the guys over at RonJon too...better off the just buy the whole kit financially. That will be my next big investment when a few thou rolls around! Anyways, here are few pics of the progress over the past few days...

I got impatient waiting for the sidemarkers and just black'd them out for the time being...it works. As for the headlights, it really isn't that bad. Check out this thread:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...bumper+removal
I found it very helpful. Remove bumper, then lights, then bake lights in oven to loosen silcone and then tear apart and paint appropriate piece desired color. I found a heat resistant paint at Kragen for 6.69 that matched the Anthracite almost to a perfect "T"! Applied about 6 coats and then reassembled. The hardest part is getting over the worry of screwing it up...just take your time and I recommend some latex gloves. Don't get finger prints, oils or anything on any of the lighting or especially what you plan to paint...will cause "fish eye" to painted surface or contact point within headlight...no bueno. Feel free to ask any other questions. Always love to help out a fellow TL'r!

Those my friend are called Brembo brakes. Any 6-speed you purchase comes with upgraded 4 piston Brembo brakes with 13.2" ventillated front rotors...they are painted black and then tagged with Acura for the TL specifically. You also have the nice 45 mm upper sway bar on the 6-speed (at least I was informed that was genuine only to the 6-speed???). Definately worth going manual trany...plus it beats the hell out of that tiptronic crap...cars are meant to be DRIVEN!!!
