I don't know, but our tattered worn buckskin tan appeals to me more than what appears to be an illusionally lighter virgin tan leather on the Inspire. Just me, but I like the worn and riden saddle effect.
Ya know......back in the saddle ! It's the real thing.

Did you notice the buttons left to the fog light?
They are missing, Sunroof controls (Since there isnt) and Cruise and VSA Combo < Where they are supposed to be there seems to be only 1 that looks like Cruise rather than VSA Control and there is actually a Blank one (1st of the 3).

I am writing from Japan.
I have just ordered Honda Saber (that is Acura TL in USA) here in Japan. It is coming in next week.

Saber is made in USA and imported to Japan with the steering wheel on the right.
Here is my question.
Unfortunately Saber here doesn't have a cruise control even for the Type-S.
I really need the equipment.
I have asked Honda if it is possible to install a cruise control to my Saber but the answer was NO.
As I know all the TL's in your country have cruise control, my question is if it is possible for me to purchase a complete cruise control kit for TL from your country.
I apperciate any of your information.

Again, Inspire Type-S and Saber Type-S are same here except front grill and design of alloy wheel. But compared to TL Type-S, Japanese ones don't have a heated seat, heated door mirrors, theft deterrent System, power-operated moonroof with tilt feature and sliding shade, cruise control and front passenger's 4-way power seat.
but they do get more fancier accessories...

Hey guys thanks for all the replies. I have a ton of pics that i can post up, engine and all. I have begged and pleaded with Honda of America to try and get this one back. I will be transferring back to the USA soon and I may have to leave her behind. Even though there were manufactured in the Marysville Ohio Plant they didn't put US Spec parts on em.
More Pics coming..
Thanks again!

This one doesn't have cruise, but if you look under the hood it came with the control box... So all i would need to do it hit a junk yard up and strip the other parts required to add it. Japan's roads are not big enough to use cruise control, plus traffic can be a nightmare!

Yes this one is bone stock. The only thing that i've added to is was the Viper alarm with remote start. I also added a kenwood head unit with USB. Grandpa and grandma had this before i did because it only had about 32,000 miles on it when i got it in late 2012.

Some models came with that here. When you use the turn signal at night they come on to help you see into your turn. I've seen them on Buick and Chrysler cars back in the US.

I'm leaving it as is. This car will be for Sale come October. Honda of America will not let me bring it on American soil. I will be leaving Japan so she has to go.

I called a junk Yard in Houston, Texas that has a few 02-03 totaled ones. He will ship the parts to you if you want them. Mine has the Cruise control box under the dash but there is no steering wheel controls or Cruise main button. it would be a "fun" job to add it on there, but possible.

I agree with you. I've been in a 2003 TL (US Spec) and the seats felt better quality than the ones in this inspire. Acura used higher quality parts for the cars in the States and the ones they built in the US for export were given what the lowest bidder offered.

I wonder why they will not allow you to bring it here. I have seen plenty of J-spec Honda Integra Type R's here. I have driven a right hand drive ITR here and it was registered in Arizona. Would be so cool if you could bring it to the states!
