So far I’m happy with the ride. I’ll give you more within two weeks as I let it settle in for a week or two. I’m still playing with the dampening and right now I have it set 12 in front & 10 rear from soft.

Simple and clean. Lowered with tint makes this car look perfect!

If you're still hating on the way the Aspec looks you need your eyes checked. Looks great.

Another TLX was not even on my long list when my 15 TLX lease expired, but after seeing the ASPEC a few times and the MSM Red Leather combo just kept attracting me. My short list cars, G80 Sport and yet to be released G70 Sport as well as the S90 all were a bit disappointing that I quickly gravitated back to Acura. If the RLX Hybrid would have had the updated TLX head unit I would have been in that, but th ASPEC is one good looking car. I love looking at this car and the MMC improvements are enough that it does feel like a better car to me.

Yup that is what pushed me over the edge. The exterior MSM looks so stealthy with the color so close to the wheel color, all the blacked out trim and such. I removed the Apsec badges as they looks out of place. This is an example of "lips on a pig" while the TLX is not a pig it was nowhere on my list until they made it look so nice. I really wanted a G80 Sport, but the seats were a bit firm and honestly while the styling in Havana Red is beautiful the rear end just looks blah.

I was on the same boat as you were. I was doing intensive research on picking up a 4Runner after my 15 TLX lease. But took this bad boy for a test drive and I fell in love. The Red interior and that 19 Pearly paint was it for me.
