Congrats. Beautiful car. :thmsup:
Those wheels look great. I like the color and style. Always been a fan of "spoke" wheels.
How's the ride?
What tires/size?

Welcome to DA Tyler ! :wave:
very hot car, I love those rims (but not the cost dealers want for them)
a HFP lip kit all around & drop ((of some sort)) will make your black coupe look very proper!
I'm personally looking forward to spring and trying a buddies 20x8.5 & 20x9 (rear) HRE's on my car to see how they look...massive lip on all of the rims that usually reserved for eurotuners and their cars.
They should fit fine with our huge wheel wells, but the matter of caliper and brake clearance could be a different story with such a deep 'dish' on these 20's

As much as I love the new coupe, TL > Accord coupe...... IMO. Always loved the TL's lines.
What made you decide to trade it in if you don't mind me asking?
Welcome! :wave: VERY nice car! I love the wheels!
Now you just need some photography lessons ;) :D

Looks good!!:thmsup: I love a clean black car!!
What state do you live in...can you drive around without a front plate??? Did you have your front tag holder drilled & screwed into your front bumper by the dealer??

nice wheels...a kit will make it look great and dropping it will sicken it!!
I am thinking about dropping mine as well. On a leased car (42 months), what modifications are not advised? I am new to leasing cars.

Mod all you want. You just need to put it back to stock if/when you turn it back in...

For me, main reason would be my parking lot and everywhere on the northside of Indy. They are everywhere. Type-S's , 04's - 08's.... good looking car, but you'd think that someone passed a low deeming Acura TL's the car for the everyday man of north Indy. This along with the factor of bang/features for the buck... I'd plopped into a lightly used 2007 (15k miles) TL w/ the same options as my coupe for the same price.

Definitely get an RL if you want a car that no one else has! :thumbsup:

Anything permanent or that can not be taken off. Could be nothing, could be everything depending on what you're into. What're you looking to do?
To the OP, I missed this thread somehow, but the black on HFPs looks sick :thmsup:
