Well if you already own the wheels you've always wanted...just stick with em. They fit the car nicely.

Wow went through all 15 pages. Amazing car!

I don't come on here much but I was at an autocross event recently and heard from another Aziner that there were some nice TLXs on here already.

Man was he right, Mike your car is stunning!

Here is the production version of the RS-R Sports-I coilover for the 2015 Acura TLX (L4, V6 and SH-AWD). Simply amazing workmanship and quality.

The RS-R coilovers are all Monotube hand assembled systems specifically designed to improve ride quality, performance, and comfort. Utilizing components such as; laser cut upper mounts, hand welded lower brackets, vehicle specific valving, are all assembled by hand to ensure quality and detail.

After having had many different variations and brands of suspension and full coilover setups...I can without a doubt say that those look absolutely amazing. The time put in to put the rubber on the spring, but also have a hole to allow water to get out so it doesn't damage finish on the spring...that alone tells you a lot.

Also, both the Tein on the TL and the H&R on the S2000 are monotube...I will never go back to twin tube design (had megan and buddy club in the past). They are harsh...and adjusting height is much more complicated. Mono...smooth ride...easy to adjust, robust...

THIS is the way to go.

Kudos to you, Mike...for your dedication and follow through. I would imagine that the demographic for the TLX has been vastly increased with the work you've put in to show people under 60 what the car could look like.

That's my issue as well. I like the white TLX but the aero kit just doesn't do it for me. I'll get the front+rear splash guards and spoiler but no kit for me on the BWP.

Not a big fan of the spoiler. I like that the tip of the trunk is protruding. Adding the spoiler seems to flatten the trunk. I prefer a lip spoiler

Would be sick. But I dont think they plan on modding the TLX or ILX like this as it is a dealer car, not privately owned by Mike. Same for Timmy telling Mike to cut into the ILX reflectors for a quad exhaust. Awesome idea but lets remember this is a dealer owned car. Not a body shop owned car.

Mike, would be SUPER sick if you proved me wrong and did some body work like Justin and Timmy mentioned!

For sure. My bad. I was just saying I doubt they will be able to mold the kit to the car based on those facts.

Thanks for all of the awesome complements guys

I forgot to share this. We hydro-dipped our engine cover a while back and give it a new carbon look. Here is before and after. What's your thoughts?

If that P stands for the dealership that's pretty creative. haha

Thinking about it now it's probably just "performance".
