TLX A-SPEC SH-AWD Black on Black

Just a few pics - tint install scheduled and still debating on de-badging - I am very happy with the aesthetics of the car

Did you add the TLX badges to the sides of the car?

Nice ride! I'm thinking of getting one. How's the transmission? Seems like most are happy with it...

I thought it was factory until you pointed it out. I don’t like it, too many badges.

Otherwise wow that TLX looks CLEAN! Really liking that black on black theme and the graphite wheels are awesome.

Yea now that u guys mention it i think the dealer must have put those on. Im not seeing any other pics online with those badges. I havent done anything to her yet. I did a full debadge on my 12 TL and think this will get the same treatment

Who does the dealer think they are putting stupid badges on the doors? What idiots.

Well, now that I think of it when I got my RDX a few years ago from them they had a couple MDX's they'd done some custom touches to, so the dealer is at least taking a proactive approach, albeit a fail on this one. The more I look at her, I think all the TLX badges including the trunk need to go, but leave all the A-Spec and SH-AWD badge - what do you guys think? Hmm, even more thinking I bet they put those badges on the doors because this car was in the showroom and they wanted everyone knowing what it was from all the angles, who knows

Sexy car, man...
I wish they had done something a little more "wow" for the wheels on the aspec.
Other than that, I love how that car drives.

Once again, congrats on your new A-Spec! Looks great
I'm loving mine; especially, the A-spec extras
The ride & handling are much improved
Have fun!

I was thinking the same thing, that little pop of red from the A-Spec badge goes nice with the black. Not too sure about the SH-AWD badge though. But you can always try to keep it first and go from there.

Dealer should have slapped another TLX badge on the grill, that way we knew what car it was from every angle.

I saw 2 in the past week in my area in white. They're sharp looking.

Congrats the A-Specs looks really good... I agree with the others that said to remove the TLX badges, especially from the doors...

Congrats! Nice car! I have the black on red myself and I'm debating whether to blackout (plastidip) the Acura logo , TLX logo and the SH-AWD logo leaving the red/chrome A-Spec badge alone but haven't decided yet!

I just noticed something, why does it look like you have no tint at all on any of the windows?

No I mean like it doesn’t even appear to have factory tint in the rear windows.

I don't think the TLX's come with any factory tint. Well at least my ASpec didn't.

Odd, that would be the first thing I did the second I got it off the dealers lot.

I recently got one and am in love with the sport+ mode. The autostart/stop feature sucks and is the only thing I would change... except maybe put a y after the sh-awd so everyone knows she's my sh-awdy

Also, not sure why they put the TLX on the doors of yours, mine didn't come with those.

As soon as the weather cooperates I will be completely debadging her - I still have to get her back to the dealer for the remote start install and weather mats that came in. However, the tint was just completed, here's a rainy day pic

Looking good! It’s always nice too see more people from Baton Rouge. I’ve only seen another black and grey aspec around the area. Hopefully I’ll catch yours somewhere on the road.

Thanks! Give me a honk if you see me or just stop by the Acura Dealership sometime and ask for Randy. I work there! There are 3 a-spec owners at the dealership now. They really are great cars.
