As a matter of fact, since I got the ball rolling I'm thinking to locate a lightly used PMC model in Curva Red. It won't have the tech of the 24 BUT then again, I've never been swayed much by those bells and whistles.

true and think about it like this, in your A-Spec you didn’t have those features so you know you can get by without them. You can find a couple Curva Red TLX-S for decent prices.

2023 Acura TLX Type S SH-AWD - $52,987
Mileage: 11,009

Victim of curb assault myself. Got this gift on the way to a TLX meet.

Glad I had the foresight to get the tire/wheel protection plan.

lts not cheap if you’re paying full price for repairs.

I have the wheel and tire package through Acura on my 23' TLX-S and just noticed a few rock chips on one of my rims yesterday while washing the car. They're not horrible, but now that I know they are there my eyes keep going directly to that rim. With that being said, will the tire and wheel package cover small rock chips on the rim?

Yes the package should cover it even if it was small chips, I know my dealer got mines fixed up on all rims not just the one that got curbed as all my rims had slight rock chips on them. Its all based on dealer but they should be able to apply the warranty to it.

Yeah, I was pulling into a parking deck (below) in Edgewater heading to a TLX meet when I totally misjudged my proximity to the curb at the turn-in. Pretty much hit it going in and then backing out. I'm convinced the deck entrance was designed with an F!U! to larger vehicle owners.

Was so pissed off, I just turned around and headed home.
