I am looking at getting a hitch installed on a new TL if I purchase the Tl. Does anyone have any info/experience with that? Or maybe some pictures?

I found a dealer that will honor close to the Internet deals for actual factory Acura accessories, I just have to fork up the sales tax. I got a hold of the install directions for the wing and it is actually attached using bolts through holes drilled in the deck. There is a sheet of pressure adhesive also used to fill any gaps and make sure there isn't any rattling.
 
What is the going rate to install a wing? Anyone get it done for less than $150 after they bought their car?

How can I tell if I have a paint finish? by delmar1

I had my encounter with rain on my TL and I am really surprised with how clean it was afterwards. It almost as though it has a teflon coating on it.
 
Does anyone know how I can determine whether I have an add-on coating on my car? My car is weird in that it has a window etching as though it with a security etching and with the possibility that it may even have a paint coat.

Anybody bought the TL all-season floor mats from the dealer? They worth the price?
 
Thanks!

I bought them. My only complaint is there are no water channels (or at least not deep enough). The bottom of my pant legs were constantly wet last winter.
 
They fit very nicely and the driver one has the TL logo. Is it worth the $$$, I think you need to decide. But if I had to do it over again, I would look for something that fit OK but handled the melt water better.
 
Hope this helps.

The all season floor mats are very worth it...even if you live in an arid climate (Del Mar is near San Diego, CA)....and especially if you have parchment or camel. Otherwise you will be having your floor mats shampooed constantly.
 
As for snow melt...I have no idea how well it handles that. As for coming in from puddles or rain...does a fine job.

I went to my local parts store, and for $20 I purchased a rubber floor mat that was made for a truck. Then i just cut it to fit using the original carpet floor mat as a template. I have ebony interior so I only put it on the drivers side.

I live in IL, so snow melt is a concern. Not constant snow, but we do get a fair amount, depending on the year. We have the parchment interior.
 
I noticed that these floor mats have anchors. Can you get aftermarket floormats with the appropriate anchors? Never had anchors on floormats before...
 
Thanks for all the advice!

Floormat anchors are a plus...as it it keeps floormats from bunching up against the accelerator...which is especially important on the TL as the pedal is hinged on the floor versus from the top that many other cars have.
 
Try this experiment.... go ahead and unhook the floormat from the anchor and see how the floormat floats around on the floor.
 
You definitely don't want the floor mats to get in the way of your pedals....

I bought mine for last winter, meaning to only use them for inclement weather. Well, I like the quick clean up so much that I haven't put in my carpeted ones since last winter.
 
I also have the ebony interior, so they really aren't that noticeable. If I had parchment or camel, I probably wouldn't like the rubber mats as much. I probably would have bought those aftermarket ones that I see in AutoWeek magazine, as they come in different colors and have more liquid capacity.
