New Build 2015 TLX

I pressed my face on the glass of a TLX at the local dealership last night and did not notice the floormats looking like that. Is this some sort of camera trick that makes them look like that or is that how they come? If so, damn!, those are some high-end looking floormats!
I can confirm my mats don't look like this at all. It has to be something with the image....

scooterb84 - What do your mats look like? My regular mats look like the ones posted. They have an almost "wood grain" like detail in them. Very nice! Will post pictures later this evening.

so glad to see this build! great work so far. 
I'm betting in the future folks will come around to the tlx a-spec kit like they have for the 3g type-s a-spec kit.
there is an article posted on one of the tlx threads where someone from acura confirmed that a type-s is being researched currently.

any rumors on drivetrain? financially I would guess it would use trickle down tech from the nsx, i.e. TT, DCT etc. However, recalling the original nsx...it used a C series which was 90 vs the J's which were all 60 degrees. Also I recall the shawd and not working due to the torque limits or the like.

I am a casual driver and not into heavy customization, but I think the car sits too low on those wheels, especially the front. I like symmetry and would prefer to see the gap around the wheel be the same on the top as the sides.
Other than that the wheels and body kit look good in that color.

No offense to Chan_Mike and to people who like that. Whatever floats your boat.
Anyway, I'm jealous of what this Chan_Mike can do with the car.

I saw a rolling clip of this car on instagram. It looks really good rolling. Very sharp looking car.

I love it - you still have the dealer sticker in the window!
I don't know how you guys do it - I don't have the stones to do anything to a brand new car beyond hang my parking tag on the mirror.

It's still a new car (not sold) - the dealership is the one doing the mods on it.

Sure...They swap a turbo for me from an RDX into my TSX no questions ask!!!! Just kidding... but their service is great I don't care what anybody says. I actually drive 21 miles to do my service having another dealer just 2 miles away from home....
Great Build guys...can't wait to see it in tha flesh!

Just want to take a moment and share these amazing wheels we have choosen for this project. Vossen Vfs2 with Silver Polished finish. This wheel is from their brand new line, Vf Series, manufactured with their Advance Flow Forming Technology. The flow forming process maintains the integrity of the design while improving grain-structure of the aluminum, creating a stronger, lighter, and thinner forged-like rim barrel.
Beside, I love the wheel and the look on our project. Here is a pic of the wheel. We used 20x9 with offset +38, Bolt pattern 5x114.3.

I remember my dealer partnering with ronjon on the 2012 TL. I think there are pictures of the TLs from performance acura on ronjons site. You will also see rev wheels on TSXs at my dealer.

Send the car up to me and let me plastic weld the body kit to the bumpers so that it looks like it was 1 piece instead of a kit that was stuck on.
I like the direction and looks so far Keep it up. Oh and do something with the exhaust and get some tips out the back

Exhaust and tips with rear bumper integration would definitely be nice.
My next idea is have a company to create an adaptor so we can run 07-08 TL-S or 05-12 RL front Brembo calipers on the TLX. I believe it would be a nice touch to the project.
