Well at least you got all of yours. I only got 3 out of 4 wheels from FedEx. They are going to put in a search to see if it got lost. Just my luck, if it did then there is a claim and I don't know how that works. Would they have to pay the full price if I had to buy one from Acura? Hopefully, it just was put on a different or wrong truck or got lost and they find it!

Hang in there! All this waiting is going to make it so much better..

Oh crap!

My guess is that, if you had the delivery insured, you would be compensated for 1/4 of the stated value.

Question is what was the stated value -- your (discounted) purchase price or the retail/replacement cost?

Please keep me/us posted.

Hmm, well I didn't have any insurance but I shouldn't be responsible for FedEx losing my package.. Crossing fingers its just on another truck..

That is a stunning color combination! I love that exterior color and that interior color is . It has different shades to it depending on the lighting.

Excellent choice!

Well, the 6MT won't be out for another year.....can you wait that long?

Also, couldn't you get Brembos through aftermarket?.....how much would those cost?

I have no problem waiting for it since i pretty much just got my 08 in march. Aftermarket Brembo kits are like 3k and up. My last and current TL both had brembos and it is a world diifferent from the ones without!

You might be right. I think they're saving the Brembos and all the other "goodies" for the real Type-S in a few years.
