Good Question,
the 06 comes with tire pressure sensors...
If I buy new wheels will this interfer ?
I don't want to buy the wheels then find out from the wheel guy that
something is wrong.
 
Ideas ?

New wheels can obviously be installed without the sensors and the car will run just fine.
 
The question is, can the sensors from the old wheels be reinstalled on the new wheels. The new rims on the 06 are slightly different from the previous models and you can see the cutouts by the valve stem.
 
Check with your Acura service manager and ask if the optional rims for 06 also have this cutout and if the sensors need special rims. I would be surprised if they do.

I checked with the Acura Service department, they tell me the tire pressure sensors are pretty much self destructed if removed, the cost about $50 each to replace onto new wheels.

Splash Guards by tlgal

Hi Gang, I posted this on another forum, but think this might be a better area to pose this question.
 
Hi All You TL Owners!
  
I'm leaning away from getting the splash guards. I'm going with the White Diamond Pearl and think the black spash guards stand out a bit too much. Are they really worth it? I currently have a white civic and I haven't really had problems with chips and scratches.
  
Any input is appreciated!

I seen it on a white TL and looks fine...and makes the car looks a tad lower to the ground. I believe it is because it is near the black tires. But it is personal taste....as I never did like my guards to be body matched. However...it will definitely keep you car cleaner by not having water splashes on the fender.

I am speaking from experience-GET THEM.
 
I owned a Pearl White Mazda Millennia and now a White Diamond Pearl 03 TLS.
 
They both sported the black splash guards and it looked perfectly fine.
 
The major purpose of these is to protect the cars paint from all the salt and sand that gets kicked back fron the wheels.It also prevents tiny rocks form hitting the guys windsheild that's behind you.

How long did you guys wait after getting the car for waxing? One person told me to wait a couple months, and another told me they are fine to wax right away. We have an 05 TL we bought in September.
 
thanks!

I want to add security to my black 06 TL.
what type of window tint do others recomend ?
I don't want to go with limo black but something fairly dark would do.
 
Any thoughts ?

I would go w/ 20% on the rear windows and back window and 35% on the front. I have an 05 Anthracite and it looks really good. Make sure you check what the local allowances are for tinting - any tinting shop should know.

When you say rear.. you are talking about the rear side ? Front being the front sides ? Sorry to ask the question but....
