So I bought my car a week ago today. Moving kinda quick on it. It's the Nite Hawk Black Pearl with tan interior. Everything but Active Cruise Control (ACC) and the collision mitigation braking system (CMBS)
So far I've ordered/received:
All interior, trunk and tag LED bulbs
Nokya yellow fog light bulbs
New center console leather
OEM Wood Steering Wheel
H&R lowering springs
Debadge rear trunk
and stuff ordered/purchased and on it's way:
NavTool
Weathertech floor mats
Acura TL wood grain shift knob
I've already stripped to 35%/20% tint that was on it and replaced with 5% tint all around and 35% on the entire windshield, de-badged the trunk except for the Acura symbol.
Here's a couple pics from the dealer

Here's a quick picture of the interior while I was swapping out the vanity bulbs for LEDs.

And here's a picture of the glove box. The Acura dealer is swapping this out for a new one for free next week (major condition of the sale)

it's been raining the last 2 days so no pics since the tint or with LEDs.
Still need to order reverse bulbs, back up bulbs, and rims. The chrome on all 4 bumpers and front grill is messed up so I have plans to fix/replace them. Probably painting the grill black and keeping some chrome on it. Also plan on ordering the 09+ rear sway bar & bushings. I need to polish up the headlights and have a couple dings,scratches, chips looked at as well.
Debating ordering a trunk spoiler & roof spoiler, but I don't think I'm going to do the A-Spec kit. We will see later. I'm also not sure on the wheels yet, but I'm leaning towards the Vossen CVT's. Hopefully figure it out within the next few days. I'm going to put the H&R springs on before the rims. Since it's got 90,000 miles on it I'll probably swap out the shocks at the same time. I have full access to and grew up around a shop (fathers a mechanic) so I'll do all the work myself. I have some other ideas for mods so I'll be making threads when I get those completed
Thanks for looking and enjoy!!!
