Paperboy42190's Progress Thread
I guess it's time for me to start a progress thread on my recently purchased 2016 ILX. I got the Tech plus with Aspec, in white. Really happy with the car so far and the DCT is very fun when driving. I used to have a 2007 TL Type-S, and decided to take a couple pics of both cars before I sold the TL.

First mod, Blackvue DR500gw-HD. I had this camera on my TL too and loved it so I'm putting the same one on the ilx. Hardwired into the overhead console for a clean OEM-like install. It's actually completely hidden when viewed from the driver's seat due to the rearview mirror

Maybe one of these weekends. It's very easy though, I routed the wire through the same opening for the rearview mirror(just pop off the cover to route the wire in). Then I routed the wire up into the overhead console and found the homelink positive wire with a multimeter. Then solder, shrink tube, and zip tie the wires cleanly and reinstall overhead console.
Yeah. It is a great car but I just wanted something newer and more tech. I actually sold it to a friend so I do still see it once in awhile.

^^ That is a great photo! Love your ILX....I have a bias toward white cars too but that has nothing to do with it

Very satisfied so far. It actually seems darker than the 17% cheap suntek tint that I had on my TL. No desire to go darker as tint already looks darker on a white car.
Also, I just ordered the front and rear aspec lip kits yesterday. Couldn't help it after seeing some more pics. Will definitely post some pics when they arrive.

Looking forward to seeing the Kit on the car!! I'm feeling the same way but I also want to install my audio gear and that's going to Cost just about the same. Decisions Decisions.

Has anyone ever considered putting the tlx shift knob on an ilx? It looks like it'll fit with no problems. It's got the same overall design except with a silver accent on the front

Is the Acura link only available with the tech package? That's pretty cool.
Those puddle lights are official. You should try to post up another picture when it gets darker . Where'd you get the lights from?
Your ILX is coming along!! I can't wait to start my own progress thread.

I got the puddle lights from oznium, using their LED bolt for a flush mount. Honestly it's pretty hard taking pictures of lights with a phone camera, but one of these days I'll be able to get a proper photoshoot in.

Sorry if it bother you that I asked the same question in some different threads and thanks for the reply.

well, the factory templates for cutting are placed on the inside edge of the bumper..... So unless you want to drill holes from the outside and risk hitting a wrong spot and making extra holes in your bumper, then taking it off is the best way

Your ilx is coming out great. If you need some coilovers mine are up for sale. Just shoot me a pm and we can discuss.
I'm going bags so no need for the coils.
