I plan to purchase a TLX Type S within the next 6 months. I'm hoping to wait until the hype dies down and dealerships stop marking these up above MSRP. I would like to purchase some parts like the all weather mats, trunk mat, side spoilers and carbon fiber trims for the inside. Can you tell me which site to go to for the best prices? Thank you.
I bought mine from acuraoemparts.com. Seemed to have the best prices compared to many of the other sites. Use promo "acurazine" for an additional 5% off. I got all of those accessories too, plus the y-spoke wheels. The carbon fiber interior trim looks cool in person, has a ton of depth in the pattern. Now I just need the car!

Thank you! Is there an easy way to find stuff on that website? I choose a 2021 TLX Type S but when I search for things I see parts showing up for other Acura models. Is there an easy way to navigate this site? Thank you.
No, you won't be able to just browse for them on that site yet. I think it's due to it being too new. The parts are there, you just have to search for them.
To get the part numbers, I used the main Acura parts/accessories website.
To save some time, here are the part numbers from what I ordered:
Apex blue side spoiler: 08F04-TGV-260 (use the first link to get the part number for the other colors)
Carbon fiber interior trim: 08Z03-TGZ-210
Type S all season floor mats: 08P17-TGZ-210
Type S trunk liner: 08U45-TGZ-200
Y-spoke wheels: 42800-TGZ-A80
Wheel center caps: 44732-TGV-A01
TPMS sensors: 42753-T3R-A04
I'm also looking into the spare tire kit. That will likely be the next purchase.

I don't think the spare tire kit is released yet. Can you confirm ?

Yes, it is. Attached are the installation instructions.
Part numbers for the kit:
06421-TGV-A01 (18”)
06421-TGV-A11 (19”)
06421-TGZ-A00 (20”)
Based on the instructions, it looks like it includes everything except for the tire. In the owners manual, it lists the spare tire size as 145/60R20 regardless of trim.
I bought the body color mud guards, all season mats, trunk liner, carbon fiber trim for the inside, carbon fiber trunk spoiler and the side skirts. Total came out to be about $2100. That's not bad considering the dealership I was at on Saturday was charging $4400 just for the carbon fiber trims, spoiler and under body diffuser. Thanks for suggesting the coupon! It saved me on the cost of shipping. I can't wait to get my new car!
No problem! If you're comfortable with installing the parts yourself, you can save a ton of money doing it this way. After looking at the instructions and watching the AHC videos on youtube, they don't seem hard at all.

Have you placed an order for your TLX? I thought I had one lined up.. the dealership was supposed to get a white TLX Type S in white with the red interior and Y spokes wheel per their website. It's 250 miles away from where I live but I was willing to fly in and pick her up. They were charging me $1050 over MSRP plus about $1500 in options that I didn't care for like paint and interior protection. I emailed her my deposit info with my credit card and she told me that they would have to order it and it will take up to 3 months. I was SOOOOOO dissapointed... I told her to cancel my order and I will try to find one more local if I have to order the car anyways. I watch Youtube videos every night about this car.. I am so obsessed! LOL.
I have a deposit in with a dealer who is expecting to get the car that I'm looking for this month. They can see that a blue with red interior is allotted to them. Just waiting on a build date and VIN. They are 4 hours away, but none of the local dealers have been able to get this combo. They already agreed to MSRP with no BS fees or add-ons. Another member here bought from them and had the same experience.
One plus is that the drive home will get me about 1/2 way through the break-in period.
I know the pain of waiting and only have a few test drives and YouTube to hold me over. It's been a long time waiting!

Awesome! May I ask what dealership you are working with? All of the ones close to me charge at least $5000 over MSRP. I'm willing to fly almost anywhere to get the car at MSRP. Thanks!
Columbia Acura in Cinci. There are two in Pittsburgh selling at MSRP as well.
Thank you. I`ll check them out. Please let me know how your install go with the carbon fiber interior and side skirts. I watched YouTube videos on how to install them but I'm still nervous about it. I didn't realize that you have to take apart the doors to install them.

I called today and gave Colombia Acura a deposit for my white TLX. He said it would probably be delivered in October and most likely it'll be a 2022 model. He said the 2022 prices have not been released yet so he couldn't give me a precise number. But I'm fine with paying a little more for a 2022 model. The salesman was really nice and helpful. Thanks for recommending them!
and pick it up from local dealer to save on shipping and handling which is kinda high at most Acura internet parts sites. Check the prices though as some dealers charge more than MSRP for parts with estore.

Nice! How do you like your Type S? I was debating getting the rear spoiler... I kinda regret not getting them.. I'll see how my car looks after all of the parts are installed. It's going to be a LONG few months for me.

How long did it take to get your products from acuraoemparts.com? I placed an order last Sunday and have not received a tracking # yet. I emailed them last Friday but I still haven't received a response. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

It took about 3-4 days to ship out. I would give them a call. I had an item that wasn't included in the first shipment and it ended up being on backorder.

Thanks! I'll wait until the end of the week and give them a call on Friday if I don't get a tracking number by then.

Check your email, sometimes they hold the whole order until all parts arrive to them and then they send it out. You'll get an email that XXX part is on backorder until XXX date.
I've messaged them multiple times over the years to ship what they have and just send back-ordered stuff later and they always help no problem. Few weeks ago I needed a door cable and got this past week as it was on backorder, but had to email them to send the bolts and seals I needed for another project the week I was emailed it was backordered.
Yes, it is. Attached are the installation instructions.

06421-TGV-A01 (18”)

Do you know if the 20" compact spare wheel will clear the Type-S Brembo caliper ?
I have one on order and will let you know once it gets here. Figured worst case, I'd just put the spare on the rear axle and move the regular wheel up front. Might make sense to do that anyway with a donut

My Canadian dealership seemed clueless about the Temp Tire Kit, even after I provided them with the exact part number for the 20" kit. They said the part number didn't show up in their parts ordering system.
Looks like I may have to order the 20" kit and the rubber tire from the US.
Please let me know once you find out if the 20" will clear the giant Brembo caliper or not.
Cons
- Doing a return is not easy. I don't like just shipping something back and hoping for the best.
- Parts Dept NEVER answers the telephone.
- Parts Dept NEVER returns a call.
- Parts Dept NEVER answers an email.

I've emailed them 4 separate times over the past month... they didn't respond to any of them. But they did ship me the stuff I ordered. I'm trying to return the mud guards b/c they don't fit with the side skirts installed. I emailed them last Thursday and still waiting on a response.

They had sent me the wrong item so I had tried to call them but no one answered so I left a voicemail along with emailing them. I never heard back from them so after a couple days I called again and finally reached them and explained the issue to them and they sent me the correct item with a priority mail 1-day label to send the incorrect item back.
Definitely more of a pain in the ass than it should have been.
I understand why many folks like to buy through one of these sites, pricing and convenience are usually at the top of the list (especially when covid regulations restricted travel in many places). And yes, in the past, I have used the supplier mentioned with good results, but "apples to apples" my first choice is the dealership where I bought the car. It can help to build build a relationship for future purchases and/or warranty issues, and it doesn't hurt to be face-to-face with (in this case) the parts counter people in there are any potential fitment issues. In the case of SGPMan, had you taken the time to better research your purchase, or talked directly with a Partsman, you may not have made the wrong purchase in the first place. In my case I know for a fact that my dealership has discounted parts to me, and I recently had an on-the-fence warranty issue, which my dealership handled without any escalation.
Saving a few dollars might make sense if the purchase is straightforward (no fitment issues, or extended leadtimes, etc) but I'll take the local contact/purchase almost every time. I believe that the long-term benefits outweigh the short term "gains"... And this is coming from a long time Purchasing Professional.

I am mostly like that if the item is something more involved than floor mats. My side skirts were ordered through the dealer and even though they’re more expensive they did give me 10% off which helps a bit. I have a great relationship with the dealership already which is very nice as they all know me by name now.
Thankfully they’re holding my side skirts and aren’t even asking for payment until I come and get them installed which may be a bit as I don’t know when my car will be fixed from the accident yet. Can’t wait though — those side skirts are amazing looking.
I agree with Jim2301. I learned my lesson. I ordered some accessories [trunk drawer & trunk cargo hook] without first looking at the on-line instructions. The accessories require removing trim pieces, drilling cut-outs and holes, and touching-up paint while doing it upside down laying in the trunk. I wrongly assumed everything would be pre-drilled with decorative/removable caps covering the hole(s).
BTW: You can install the splash guards without removing the rear wheels [for access]. You need a mini-ratchet wrench with a 90 degree offset drive such as:
If you are buying because of price, I've started finding the cheapest and printing out the order page and taking it to the local dealership and they will match the price.
