That would be an affirmative. Although, only when the headlights are turned on. No real need for them just to come on at night for the sake of lighting the car's interior while I'm sleeping.
Also, is the TL's Navi also a hot item that the thiefs target? How about the DvdAudio Sound system?
Appreciate all comnmments since I'm about to make the deal in a week or two...
Thanks!
thanks,
99-03 Acura TL's with HID's in Northern New Jersey and NYC had alot cases where HID lights were stolen and caused alot of damage to the front ends of the cars. The front end damage was done by theives because I guess they wanted the HID's that bad. I guess there was a heavy black market for HID's in the Metropolitan Area(Northern NJ/NYC.) Now that Honda started putting HID's on 03 Accord's I think that has slowed down(or at least hope it has)with the thefts of HID's in Northern NJ/NYC.

And there are only 2, and not accessible in the back seats.
In more recent years, I have heard somewhere that tire dealers will no longer do this kind of deal. Might be some kind of law against it.
The only Honda that comes with HID lights is the S2000.

Again, very subjective but a wing spoiler on the already amazing looking new TL is just overkill. I personally think the wing spoiler has had its day, and frankly, I was quite surprised when they offered it on the new TL. I much prefer the subtlety of the decklip spoiler.
Being in the snow & salt belt, I tend to shy away from anything that adds aftermarket holes in the metal of the car. I passed on even the trunk lip spoiler, though the dealer assured me it was not a rust problem.
Adding a spoiler to car with a sharply defined rear like the TL, TSX, BMWs, etc. just looks silly and detracts from the careful design of the car.
The front is already low enough - I scrape mine all the time.

Its like a $500-600 price increase. Is it worth it? or wait until winter maybe?
The new Accord is an anomaly. The rear is odd, but to me it looks OK, because of the hard line running around it. If it was more rounded, it would be very weak. I don't think I have yet seen a single 04 Accord with a spoiler. Give it some time - the Accord is a wonderful car.
Thx.
Mine are fine - I see no problem with them. Why don't you like them?
If you do change - high-rated replacments are:
Falken Ziex 512 (high rated and low cost)
Goodyear Eagle F1 (top rated by Consumers)
Continental ContiSportContact 2
Pirrelli PZero Nero
Any experts know how we could tell if a car has the new tires? A lot number, serial number?
Thanks
Try this: going about 60-70 mph on highway open both rear windows. You will hear and feel a strong low frequency "pressure vibration". It felt reinforcing as if it would blow the car apart and bust my ear drums if I didn't shut the windows. I know many cars might have loud wind at those speeds and they are not designed to run at 70 with windows opened but this was disturbing.
Anyone else experience this? Any experts know if this implies anything wrong with design?
When car is hot from sitting in sun I often open rear windows to blow out hot air. In my '91 Legend I get noise but no ear busting pressure popping vibration like the '04 TL.
Please try it, let us know.
Thanks
With the careful wind tunnel design these days, I am surprised it occurred.
