Thanks. My dealership at Acura Of Wappingersfalls has a vendor coming to customize the look of the cars on the sales floor. He said Acura does not do anything to these car so the dealership is adding some spice lol. I took those black wheels of a white tlx with a black painted roof. Look sweet. Would had taken that as is, but it was a base model. My dealer said the 2.4 tech is hard to find nowadays specially in black. Car has been there for only 3 days before i took delivery and was reserved for another customer whom hasn't shown up for it.

I turned in my 16 ILX A-Spec 5 days ago for this TLX. I removed lil minor mods I had on the ILX to sell on ebay. Surprisingly the HIC window visors from the ILX fit the bigger TLX. Fitment is not as perfect as it was for the ILX but definitely passes.






Visors on the ILX






Same visors on the TLX

I also check fitment for the rear window spoiler from the ILX on the TLX. Now the rear window spoiler didnt fit as good as the visors, there is a lil gap on the edges, still debating on keeping is there. I ask a couple ppl what they think, everyone doesn't notice the lil gap on the edge till I point it out.
What u guys think about the roof spoiler? Would u keep this spoiler instead of purchasing a new one? Or will the gap be hunting you?

Its the second day on there and it doesn't really bug me as much as it did yesterday. I was asking everybody and their moms what they think of it. To the point where If I was to get pulled over I think I would had ask the officer what he thinks about it lol Thats how much it was bugging me. Today not so much. Only during a car wash I paused on it for a couple seconds.

I'll give it a couple days more.

Your saving money not having to buy a new one though.

That's the HIC spoiler, correct?

Personally I wouldn't be able to live with that spoiler simply because it dosent fit. I got mine from eBay like spoiler did for 50 and the fitment and paint is almost perfect.

Wheels look good doe
