Finally got her washed and hopefully you all can see that wrap. I really like the way it turned out! The tint is very much welcomed too with the late summer/autumn sun beaming. Just waiting on my caliper covers!!

My friend did the vinyl wrap on mine. I think I’m going to keep it antenna white.

Got my roof wrapped and grill wrapped right after I picked it up from the dealership a few weeks ago.

I see your tint shot went around the brake light as well. I was so pissed! Just an FYI, I was able to pull the liner down (two clips towards the end near the mirror) and loosed two screws which anchors the brake light cover to the mirror, which gave them enough room to tint that section. Car looks good!

I acutally like it like that. I've had issues with my 3G TL where the light was leaking after the tint.

Saw my first A-Spec today on the road. King Of Prussia Pa merging onto 422. White with tinted windows, new york tags. Looked really good on the road. It looks so much different than the non A-Specs.
i really liked the way it looked driving down the road. Honestly it doesn't look like any other car on the road right now.

They replace the puddle lights, have them on my 440 but the are an "M" not an "A" Generally a 5 minute swap.

Came across a black TLX A-Spec with the accessory wheels on one of the dealer IG. I must say, it looks much better than I originally imagined. Future upgrade perhaps.

OUCH!!. That's too bad they are a nice thing on a dark night. The logo ones are just one more thing to spend you money on.

selling your current aspecs would pay for a good chunk of the cost for those.

They do actually. They are just super dim.

After seeing jrytls I bought a similar set for mine off ebay. It was a super easy swap like Bear said. Pry the old one out, unplug, then plug in the new one. Piece of cake.

I must be blind because i see no light (even dim) that comes on when you approach the car or unlock. Can you take a picture of what it looks like under your mirrors please?
Thanks.

You're not blind. Just looking in the wrong place. I believe the light people are referring to is the courtsey light located under the interior panel of the door. Installing a projector lens and led light will give the effect. The previous year TLX's in Advance/Elite trim had actual puddle lights under the mirrors, but that doesn't appear to be an option on the US 2018 A-Specs.

Ah. I see the misunderstanding now. Canadian ASpec Elite's have the puddle lights in the mirrors like the '18 Advance model. I thought that was what you were referring to that on a US version ASpec.

Thanks. I'll check them out on Ebay.

Very nice. I like that color. Just wish the wheels were not as tonal with the car itself. But overall it looks great.

OK have to ask. Are the Speed Racer logos really on the car? Will admit to W.Coyote being on mine to signify the FORD engine code. Most car people get it.

I don't normally post pictures, but I can't let you 3.5L with Blue/Red/Black exteriors have all the fun.

We 2.5L model owners are out there. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
