Pineapple...I've already got the plates/silverware/paper towels covered. Don't sweat bringing anything unless you maybe want to bring the cooler with some ice.

I didn't post anything up on MnHondas just on . I did mention in my thread over there that they should bring whatever they want to grill and stuff to share etc.

It sounds like it should be perfect weather tomorrow!

I think we should all give a thank you to Pineapple for grilling all of the burgers and brats and not giving us food poisoning like Takata was trying to do by burning the outside and leaving the inside frozen.

Hi everyone - I'm a first time Acura owner so new to the forum

Here's my CPO 2009 TSX 6-speed (Grigio/Ebony) I bought from Bloomington Acura in July. So far the only modifications I've gone is a paint match on the grill surround, OEM rear wing, and swapped the shift knob with one from a TL SH-AWD 6-speed.

Stock grill
Twin Cities Acuras-mflc7.jpg

Stock, no wing

Stock shift knob
Twin Cities Acuras-xynle.jpg

With OEM rear wing added

Grill after paint match

Future plans:
Window tint
Winter tires for stock rims (once the snow starts falling)
Aftermarket 17" or 18" wheels with summer tires next spring --- right now the TSW Nurburgring is in the lead

thats sexy! If i were to trade in my TL it would be to a TSX with all the ground effects, closest thing to our current TL's in my opinion. Great color! IF you are tinting the glass go to TintPros, had them do my Jeep and they do a great job!
