Congratulations on the car and color
That's a good possibility, i didn't think of that. I think the tires were done in may.

Hopefully it's just a poor balancing job and not a bent wheel. I had problems with that when I purchased my TL. It worked out but it was a PITA.

I haven't signed the official last documents so i'll take it for a ride before i do that. I'm going to see if i can buy parts at their cost too.

The best place I've found for Acura parts is....

OR....

I'm sure you will tell them to expect you back with a pissed off look if one of the wheels turns out to be bent. See if they can put it in writing that they will replace it if is bent. Bent wheels is on the CPO checklist, but it is not something that is enforced.

They rebalanced the wheels and all is good

I'll tell you what, i really like this car. The bluetooth voice activation and being able to have my ipod on the display.

I liked the rl but love this car.

I'll post pics when i get some daylight in the next couple days.

Sweet. I really like the Bluetooth audio option. I wished the 3G TL had it.

Hopefully the first mod is a Porsche for you and Mrs. Dallison.

There were quite a few with black or grey interiors that seemed to move quickly. I guess some don't like the tan interior, but i love it too.

I actually prefer tan over a black or gray interior. I love the contrast with the black dash! Looks great.

Last week i took the car to wal-mart, yes wal-mart to have the tires rebalanced. The guy said that there was a wobbler but it still balanced.

While driving it, it still shook so i made an appointment to have it checked out.

It turns out it was a defective tire. They ordered another in and all is well again. It drives like a dream!

A thousand miles later and i really like this car. Navi would be nice but it would really only get used a couple times a year. But, i guess you would get the more powerful stereo too. But then again i damaged my hearing when i was 18-20 with a too loud 3000 watt stereo.

The A-Specs look great. Are those gunmetal? Hard to tell which color.

They're gunmetal. The car and wheels are dirty as i was driving in the rain and it was starting to get dark.

I'll take pics when it's clean and sunny.

The motor is exactly the same and the trans is pretty similar too. The tech gadgets are easier to acces compared to the 04. The 09 is quieter too and the doors have a quieter sound to them when closing.
Mrs. dallison likes her 1st gen better than mine. I feel like i get a little better mileage from mine, but that could be my driving.
