Type-S sidemarkers, switchblade, and OEM carbon fiber add-on
So, I splurged a little bit for my birthday! Well it isn't until St. Patrick's Day, but we are close enough. I bought and installed the following parts...

08Z03-SEP-200B - carbon fiber FR
08Z03-SEP-200D - carbon fiber RR
33650-SEP-A11 - type-s sidemarker R
33655-SEP-A11 - type-s sidemarker L
OEM Switchblade (thank you Marcus, HEELTOE FTW)

The only parts I didn't get yet is the rear carbon fiber piece and the OEM switchblade. They are both on the way!

Check out the pics...

My interior was carbon fiber from factory, so I just added these 2 pieces, and will be adding the rear piece for the backseat a/c/heat vents (OEM).

No, no, it is terrible lighting. The only part that is a little off from the rest of the car are the BSM. They are a little darker. The side skirts look different because of the shadow. You can see much better pictures of my car in my other threads...

Thank you and thanks for the early birthday wishes!

Thanks! I love that Gallardo, I see it at every DuPont Registry Cars and Coffee. It has a nasty Tubi exhaust! Sounds ridiculous.

Thanks, are you coming with us for my birthday party at Cars and Coffee?

It is an A-SPEC steering wheel. It came with the car as it was part of the A-SPEC package that was installed from the dealer at the time of the original purchase. Evidently I am one of the lucky few that got the full entire A-SPEC setup!

Thanks for all of the kind words! I love this car more and more every day!

Sounds like a plan. There is another member that is going to meet us there with a 2G Type S 6MT with some breather mods.

Switchblade is all done! Got it in the mail this morning. Thanks to HeelToe once again...I ordered the milled switchblade on Tuesday and already received it, had it cut, programed and I am already using it! Very fast! While I was at the dealership I picked up a new cabin filter as well!

I ordered the parts from my dealership and they were able to locate them! I got a great deal to cut / program my key from them as well. PM me.

Thank you, the ACURA prices from the dealership are $38.73 for the seat heater and cup holder unit. The rear parts are $77.44 from ACURA.

No, no, it is terrible lighting. The only part that is a little off from the rest of the car are the BSM. They are a little darker. The side skirts look different because of the shadow. You can see much better pictures of my car in my other threads...

Are you talking about the A-SPEC lip kit? If so...it is a must and you will fall in love with your car every time you look at it! It really makes the TL look beautiful!
