Hi !

Just closed the deal on my ACURA TLX today !!

Here's a little background.. I came from TSXClub.com. I was very involved with hosting/attending meets. I was also Feb 2014 TSX of the month ! haha

Here are the specifics of my deal..

MSRP $35,920 (Destination fee included)
-$1250 instant savings (my Asian bargaining skills haha)
-$1000 Acura Advantage program (First 1 months payment free)
-$500 Credit towards Acura accessories (Used on OEM fog lights, I paid for the difference)

+SoCal Tax 9.5%
+DMV Fees
+Dealer Fees

Let me know what you guys think ? Did i overpay ? Cause if i did.. then it's too late i already signed papers hahaha










Who bought the extended warranty?? I'm thinking about getting the 7yr/100k miles. or The 7yr/120k miles.

If you bought it, please let me know how much you paid??

Thank you!!!

haha, I like it! You did good considering the car just came out.

Did you keep your TE37's for the TLX?

lidobitesize

Thanks guys !!

I still have the TE37s 18x9.5 +35 225/40/18. I've been too lazy to test fit them.

The tires i have on the TEs are actually smaller than the OEM tires on the TLX.

I put the TEs right next to the OEM wheels and the TEs are lower. I believe the wheel gap will increase.

I opticoated my car today !! This is to preserve my paint and to prevent swirls and scratches in the future.

lidobitesize

While my friend as opticoating my car... he found this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A manufacturer's paint defect !! WHAT DO I DO ???

Can't wait to see the pics after OC. As for that paint defect I'd take it to the dealer and see what they offer.

lidobitesize

Got a full Acura OEM Lip kit + Trunk deck lip !

SweetJazz

Car is looking good. However, don't think for a second that Opticoat is going to prevent scratches and swirls. The only thing that will help prevent scratches and swirls is proper washing, polishing, and paint maintenance. Start now and your paint will last a long time.

Congrats man, what a gorgoeus car!

Congrats car looks great already.

The glory is escalating at a high rate of speed.

lidobitesize

thanks guys ! i'm looking into getting some rims now...

i plan to keep stock height... aint about that slammed life anymore... Hahaa

Looking into 19X9 or 19X9.5 +30-45.. 245/40ish

I'm not sure yet. I needa do some calculations.

I know the Factory Acura 19s are 19X8 with 245/40/19 +45. (please correct me if i'm wrong)

I like how it fits. Imma use that as reference to do calculations to get the fitment i'm looking for.

I'm not going to slam this car. My TSX was pretty low so i'm trying to do something more practical now.

Stew4HD

She looks great! I really like the underbody kit on dark cars. I look forward to seeing pics of the car with the new rims when you get them.

I hear ya about lowering. It's nice to not worry about scraping!

Cmyoung

AWESOME! I have this color on order with deck lid I can't wait!

lidobitesize

Did a test fit at Varrstoens !

PreludeVTEC01

Good lord that looks amazing! Well played sir!

SweetJazz

Lowered on what springs?

JT4

Your TLX looks great...

lidobitesize

more pics...... I cant decide if i want them or not... I would definitely get bigger tires. probably 245/40/19.

I believe the test fit wheels were like 235/35 or something.. small side wall

I-MOD

Looks nice, what width/offset did you go with on the test fit?

lidobitesize

The fronts are the ES4 19x9.5 and the rear is 19x10.5

I forgot the offset specs but you can search it on their website. there's only 1 offset.

lidobitesize

My Current Daily ride.

Still havent decided on what rims i will get.. This will do for now haha

For some Honda Accord Sport 18x8 Rims

ostrich

Oooh! I like these Accord rims on the TLX!!! LOL!

lidobitesize

haha thanks ! i sold my TE37 and the guy threw in his Accord sport wheels as a part of the deal. Fresh tires too !

And i got rid of my TLX rims, i think these look much better.

lidobitesize

Hey Lidobitesize,

How much did you pay for your aerokit? i was quote $2100.00 and i just learnt they don't come with fog lamps, which i was told is another $900+. So putting everything around $3,000+.

2012wagon

Beautiful previous and current car.

I am a local TSX Wagon owner, sadly no TLX like you. Where did you get the test fit wheels?

First pic with test fit (looked amazing), car looked lowered. Other two pics car looked like a lot of wheel gap. Was that just the angle or photoshop?

If you don't mind PMing me, I am wondering if I can take my TSX Wagon to whereever you went and see them do a test fit, so I can decide what I want.

Appreciate the help!

lidobitesize

It was a special case. I basically got it for free. I couldnt justify spending 2k+ for the whole kit and trunk lip. I did pay $900 for the fog light though. Well i had 500 credit from the Loyalty customer program so i paid the difference.

I did a fit check at Varrstoens. They were looking for TLX to fit check. I'm not sure if TSX is on the list. Just give him a call and see what they say.

The photo was photoshopped to lower my car.

TLxRyan

I need the factory lip kit! Looking good!

Got some pics this past weekend at the Annual TSXClub SD Meet !!
