They MSRP @ $415 a piece, Rondy gave me a discount for the photoshoot. Send him an email or PM, I think he still does his photo discount where you send him some high res photos of your car and he'll refund you a portion.

White 2010 6p with the Ron Jon grill painted to match & no OEM logo. Much better than the "beak" IMHO.
Love the car so far! 5 months and problem free for the most part.

Could I possibly persuade you to change your avatar before it causes me to go out and buy ANOTHER grille?

No George, you want to leave yours how it is, it looks good!
IMO...
CBP: looks best with RJ Grille
PMM: looks best with Sport Grille
WDP: one of the few colors that can pull off the stock grille
MBM: ???
Nobody had taken any pictures of a Mayan Bronze with a Ron Jon Grille or the sport grille!

The dealership I went to (Gary Force in Nashville) only had White and Black 6spds. They had no Mayan Bronze on the lot in any form (Base, SHAWD or 6spd) and the only Palladium they had was an SHAWD automatic. In total, I'd bet they had 25 TL's on the lot.

Picked up my CBP 6MT yesterday. All I can say is WOW. Feels like it's carved out of a piece of billet, corners on rails and that sound system!
Drove a couple of family members around yesterday - they were blown away by the car.
All this in only 39 miles.
I'm really, really going to like this car.

John wanted me to share this picture of his 6speed with you all. He says he's got more on the way! Remember if you don't want to host your pictures, just send them to me
I will deal!

The taupe is a great color though, I got used to it almost immediately. It is just so classy with the other black that is around the interior. The best part is, in the future as more TL's get in car accidents, you'll probably be able to find a black interior and get the seats and door panels out of it and be able to convert your interior back and forth as you wish.
But welcome to the White 6MT club! Pictures soon?

Just picked up my black on black 6MT on Saturday, have only put 200 miles on it but it's been a awesome ride so far, more than impressed with this car. IMHO this is the best car for the money available, I got mine for $38,900 when it stickered for $43,100! I look forward to many years of driving pleasure with this one!

Great idea about creating the 6-MT 2010 TL thread. To paraphrase Acura itself, it's the only way to fly. This car is amazing. I've never driven any car of importance that wasn't manual, but this one puts all of them to shame. The combination of precise steering and the butter-on-teflon, short-throw manual is incredible and very hard to beat.

I think we all wish the color choices came with other options...
But I dont think all is lost if your exterior color isn't the interior color you want... I would reckon that there's a TL out there somewhere that has Umber interior that's been crashed that you could get door panels and seats from. Maybe not for a while, but it will eventually happen? Then we'll see color combo's that we've really wanted! Just not the grigio yet

My thoughts exactly. i wanted wdp. but i don't like the thought of my jeans staining my seats. and it just looked to delicate with white interior. i need black interior. I even looked at other cars over it, but you can't compare acura quality for the price. i love acura.

oh, and i have a ebony/ebony shawd 6mt technology package. I never drove mt before, i learned on this car. I feel very sorry for its first 100 miles. it must have been very rough. I love this car though. i'm def. keeping it for a very long time. unless there is huge improvement, which i doubt we will see in the next four years.

TL-SHAWD 6MT Rocks!
and I got it in Oct 13, 2009 in Houston, TX
so I guess they don't ship that many 6MT across the country.
Interesting...

Palladium Metallic/Ebony interior/35% 3M tint. I would like to see one with the grill color matched..I have been toying with the idea.....I just don't think its that big of a difference though.

Congrats and welcome. Love that color combo. I was deciding between that and Black/black. Dealer didn't have the MBM in stock, so that decided it.
Enjoy your new car!

This thread is such a good idea! I can't believe I missed it, even though prepreludesh sent me a message!
This is my third MT TL. I had an '06, an '07 TL-S, and now a '10 CBP. I love it!

Welcome (great color selection, BTW).
I'd be curious how you feel the 4G compares to your TL-S. I was considering a TL-S in '08 because I wasn't entirely comfortable with the 4G's styling (and lack of MT). I got over the former (now really appreciate the styling) and Acura fixed the latter.

Newbie here, waiting to take delivery of 2010 Acura TL PM SH-AWD Tech 6MT next week.
Traded in 2007 Type S 6MT with a tear in my eye. Made the dealer keep a bag over my head until I got inside so I couldn't look at the beak. Still undecided what to do about it but I must do something. Thinking of color matching the beak but can't find a pic of it in PM. I like it done that way in other colors.

Bought a 2010 black 6mt last week. Love it! Wife thinks its her car. She likes the idea of the rj grille, but vetoed the price of the legend II's. And she's conceded to the idea of the comptech sc when it is released, and the warranty is up. Having the OEM body kit installed in a couple days and tinted after that. Pics to follow pending post count.

6 speed manual, SH-AWD, Palladium Metallic, lots of Tech buttons, 19" HPT & wheels, black interior.
Would have perferred a gray interior to better deal with our Texas summer heat. Black exterior in Texas is hot enough to fry eggs on.

Prepre- your car looks spectacular. I think you've incorporated just the right amount of styling mods to bring out the car's strengths without detracting from its basic style. I know you did almost all the work yourself, and the care in the execution and detail is obvious. You've set a target for the rest of us. Nice job! Thanks for sharing.
