Definitely need to do something about the stock wheels and rims, maybe a chrome dip? Where's the best place to buy accessories for our new boys? I'd like the trunk liner, body side moldings, and splash guards, but they wanted way too much for those puppies.

Traded 07 TL-TYpe S for 09 SHAWD
 

I really did not like the style of the 09 TL on paper, but after driving the SH-AWD last week it changed my mind...What a car, I can live with the front shark tooth grille (may paint it). I got it in Silver Metallic with black interior, ground effects with stock 18" wheels. It came to aobut 44,845 msrp. They gave me 30,450 for my 07 TL-Type S, with 36,345 miles, so I traded for 14,395.00......I am thinking about taking out the Acura Care Warranty (I plan on keeping this car for a while) for two reasons....One is the AWD system and the other is that they are now using a Hard Drive in the NAVI and I know how they fail in computers,,,,,Any one have any thoughts on this, I did beat them down to 1195 for a 0 Ded. 8yrs 120,000 mile Acura Care.
