Just shy of 5 years and 100k, we traded the wife's '17 Sport for a '22 ST in Smoky Mauve pearl (at MSRP no less!!!) We considered getting the major 100k maintenance done and keeping it til 150k, but at that point I'll probably be considering a new daily and making my GTI a project car, and 2 car...
Discovered a crack in the left fog on my wife's Sport, so I ordered the Morimoto fogs. I was going to install them today, but then I discovered a ~3" crack in the bottom of my left headlight yesterday so I'm ordering clear lamin-x for her fogs and my headlights and I'll install her fogs after...
Ive seen these in person on a TL, not my style but much cleaner than the emblem posted above, imo. They dont have anything for Honda (on the site anyway) but an email wouldnt hurt.

I have no idea what this says.
I haven't noticed but also haven't spent much time at speeds over 100mph in the wife's Sport, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was flex. Adjusting the latch and maybe the rubber stoppers might help a little.
And now I can't turn italics off on mobile. Awesome!
It should make a difference since it will help aerodynamics, but it's negligible and wouldn't be anything easy to measure without a controlled environment.

One of many benefits of a garage, hit the touchless wash before going home, and no frozen doors. Lately I've just been cleaning the headlights and windshield by hand though, thanks mother nature for freezing temps and ice/snow.
Before my Acura, I had a newer Saab 93 with headlamp washers. It was a great feature to have this time of year, but I could go through a gallon of washer fluid in less than a month easily.
The Accord EX-L at least up to '12 don't have it either. Pretty sure the 13+ also don't. It's windshield washer fluid, not something critical to the health and performance of your vehicle.
I just keep a bottle in the garage and top off when I check my oil or anything along those lines.
They help with body roll and flatter cornering, which in turn assists with weight transfer and helping the rear end rotate. The "give" from the end links needs to be there unless you drive on glass smooth roads 100% of the time, as the suspension needs to be able to articulate.
Upgrading the...
Putting a light in the upper area required more work than I wanted to do at the amount of beer I had consumed. The cup holder area LED might get moved down another 2-3" depending how much it bothers the wife at night.
I've been a duckbill fanboy since I can remember. Have a duckbill on my TL right now.
I drove an SI coupe this morning as a possible replacement for my TL. If someone makes a replica of this spoiler, I'm for sure getting the SI coupe and throwing this one.
Sweet baby jebus.
Find some cheap Acura/Honda 17s on CL, buy them, pay lower price for snow tires and then you can just swap wheels for spring. The wheels will pay for themselves considering most places charge $100+ to mount and balance.
Unless you plan to get a new set of wheels and tires for summer, then...
I don't know if Acura now does the same as Honda or still give their vehicles a bit more free reign, but my '04 TL governor, which is done by the ecm cutting fuel like at redline, is 153 mph per speedometer/151mph per GPS.
