I just picked up my TLX and I have begun work on it I put the aero kit and deck lid spoiler and Plasti dipped all the chrome and grill on the car (although I may end up pairing the grill to get a perfect color match. I already have bought 20" Vissen CVT's and had them powder coated gloss black. I'm torn on whether or not to put the wheels on before I lower it. I'll post some pics let me know what you guys think!

Here's the Vossens I have waiting to be installed just not sure if I should wait until I lower it to throw them on...

Welcome to AZ and Congrats...

I see you didn't waste anytime with the mods... Those wheels are going to look good..

Looking good so far. I would recommend keeping the "A" emblem up front in chrome.

So are the wheels on? Can't wait to see those on the car!

1richardb

No they are not yet... I can't decide whether or not to do it since I can't lower it yet.

Treblig

What are you going to lower it with?

1richardb

That is the million dollar question. I want to do Coilovers but there is nothing out yet so I am patiently waiting

1richardb, it really looks great, but because you have an Elite I wanted to make you aware of a potential issue you might run into. I'm not sure if you were following the OnePack videos that EE4Life was kind enough to post for us all, but according to Acura, you could run into an issue with the CMBS systems by coating the Acura Chrome Beak. According to the OnePack that you can find at the link below, Pam clarifies a previous OnePack announcement where she said you couldn't cover the front bumper. In this update, they clarify that it only applies to the chrome portion of the front. Since the CMBS system is only included in the Advance and Elite packages, this doesn't apply to all TLXs.

I forgot to tell my detailer to not cover the beak with the Xpel PPF, so I had to remove it, I didn't want to take any chances with it not working in case it was needed in an emergency.
