Nice car, i've been browsing for S type wheels as I love the look of them and think they would fit great on my tsx. I have 215's on the stock wheels currently, what are you running 225's? Those wheels hold their value so well...too well haha.

They are holding up really well, the "Leather" is wrinkled on the driver side seat bolster, but no cracking at all, the foam doesn't feel ruined on the inside either. Very comfortable.

Yes, at $28,500 I would have probably passed on that one. But, I can see where looking at it in 0f temps, the heated seats probably had you a little snowblind. It happens to the best of us.

I have my first car with heated seats. Unfortunately, I almost never drive it when temps are below 50F.

I was just assuming those above me knew something I didn't from another thread.

I thought that Flange knew what he was talking about. I was thinking, "I'd pay $3k for that ride." Sorry, Brandon. I hope that you got a good deal on it.

I'm on my fourth one and I never use the damn things. Wife will use them at the drop of a hat, but that woman is always cold.

Looks nice, good choice.

I like Acuras; I currently have an MDX, and I've had a few friends who owned various Acura models. The only problem any of us have had was one guy who had cracked CV joint boots on his TL. That one was old, with lots of mileage though.

3 inches thick, for a 2006? My well documented '99 FRC only had about an inch, why 3 for a vehicle that's only 13 years old?

Saved every gas receipt, every toll slip... idk...

(edit)
If it was dealer serviced, some dealerships print several pages including terms of service bs on every slip. That adds up if you keep all that crap.

So essentially with 3 inches of documentation that vehicle has generated 3 service pages per month for it's entire life. Or 3 pages approximately every 900 miles.

Either that was a gross exaggeration or he bought a lemon.
