this damn car looks amazing its definitely acura year🔥🔥🔥
Agreed!!!
I have to admit, these small additions made this car look gorgeous!
Agreed!!
Those wheels look great on that car. Love that color.
Yes they do. Thanks for tuning in!!
Me too dude
Acura is dominating the car news feed. This new TLX plus the RDX PMC edition, and the MDX prototype will be unveiled on the 14th!
Right on!!!
Props to Acura for making a engine bay that
car owner can actually work on in the long run
That radiator access is 👌
Except the rad cap hidden under that panel is sort of dumb. I think if it were my car I would make about a 3” hole in that plastic so I could see the cap and access it without removing the panel.
As a car company, I have to take my hat off to you Honda.
Thank you!
love what acura is doing , can't wait for the type s to start coming to market
Yes!!!
Gorgeous car
It’s not bad at all, I’m looking at a new tlx a spec sh awd or type s or Lexus is350 2021 I can’t wait years, some kid will get these cars and mess them up. Trust me I wanted an 03-06 rsx type s or 99-00 civic si but all rebuilt and have been driven to shit.
@@HotSizzleTV_ facts , definitely hard to come by a clean/unmolested rsx now and days.
If people like you guys work at my local Acura dealer, I will have no problem spending my money at serive department. You guys look happy and honest. Good job.
Wow, thanks!
This car looks clean specially that Blue paint job, bumpers, side skirts, wheels look astonishing.😲👌
Set the setup is great but damn, let’s talk about the hands. We all know Jonathan is the man and made the car look good.
New TLX looks so good, even before the body kit, which looks great. Those upgraded wheels are SICK!
Couldn't agree more!
Looking forward to the type-s once its on the used market in 3yrs 🦾
Same. That sucker is pricey.
Watch the turbos 😅
I have a feeling with the chip shortage and new car market, it won’t be as cheap in the future as many think
Getting that car end of 2021 year!
Beautiful car!! Needs a 1.5” drop and it will look perfect
Agreed!!
Fact
You said it so I don’t have to...
To me 1-1.5 drop is good enough.
You beat me to it. Nice set of lowering springs and that's it.
Man that Acura looks amazing guys, I love watching you all work in the shop using all the latest gear, when I was younger I remember fitting tyres using tyre leavers and a mallet along with lots of brute force with cut and bruised shins but I think that's called progress, look forward to the next, oh and tell Brian to get off his #### and get some more video's uploaded!! 🤣 stay safe, John UK.
Always appreciated the continued support. Will definitely relate the message to Lazy Brian 😄
Love your channel! That tl-s rebuild was so sick!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for joining us.
Thanks for posting this! Following the directions and your video, I was able to install the front, sides, and rear on my Aspec with little issues.
I have always LOVED Acura... I love what they are doing lately. I think this new model might help bring them into more mainstream appeal. I feel like they've been the car worlds best kept little secret. 😆
This is literally my favourite Acura channel!
Looks amazing. If Acura made a wagon variant, I would be on it like white on rice.
Ha!
😆🤣🤣😂
2021 A-Spec TLX perfected. The stock wheels that came with the A-Spec could have been made nicer. That’s my only negative about the design.
Same
I agree. The OEM wheels are terrible.
I agree aswell
2020 A specs look better than the 21 model...IMO
Alexander Rubi they are both great designs
Factory fresh👍 looks beautiful!!! I could watch u guys all day. I wish I lived in Florida,I’d work there for free just to learn.
Thank you for your support
Those Vossen wheels definitely make the tlx look a lot better
👍🏼👍🏼
Great looking car the added features take it to the next level.
Kit/wheels really enhanced the looks of the TLX. Nice vid!
Thank you
I have the 2018 A-Spec same color. This car looks awesome! great work.
Cheers!!
IF ACURA really wants to sell ALOT of these keep your body kit and put a manual 6spd in it. I'll get one tomorrow.
🤞
Big facts
Nope. People prefer automatics.
Majorities preferred automatic.
Car looks outstanding! AHC stickers on both my laptops at work. Love you guys!👍🏻
Thanks for your support as always
Damn. That looks super clean especially with the jewel eyes shining.
Agreed!!
KIA thought they had it in the bag with the K5!!!!! Not even close This is one sweet ride and modification...... Great video.
Thanks! 👍
I like that all black TLX you posted today🔥
Great job on that TLX looks amazing! So excited to see the new Type s
What’s the intro song? I like it a lot. Btw first time seeing your videos and you just earned a sub, keep it up buddy!👍🏻
Thanks for the sub
@@ahcgarage you didn't answer question of name of song.
I think you guys should invest in a 4k camera to do these cars justice! Would look so awesome on youtube!
Wasn’t feeling the new Tlx at first but idk if it’s that beautiful blue or those wheels but I’m sold now haha it’s crazy what a new set of wheels can do to the look of a vehicle.
Agreed!!
Man the new TLX on Vossens is looking real nice
Now all it needs is a 1” to 2” drop with lowering springs or coilovers and it would look really good!
Agreed!!
Stunning. I'll wait for the type s and get this body kit.
The Type-S should comes with its own unique aero
nice..amazing job guys!..but shouldn't it already come with that lip kit since it's an A-Spec..well atleast yall made it look like a true A-Spec now..thanks for the great content..
Thanks for the compliments. Means a lot to us.
@BERSERKER agreed
I was thinking the same thing. Just kept asking "why" through the whole video. It looks good though.
You guys are masters!!!! Top notch installation!
Thank you!!!
WoW... I like this set up on the upcoming Type-S
Us too!
I got mine yesterday in Black. Love this mod.
Those Vossen rims are sick!!!! 🔥
Dang that TLX ASPEC is 🔥 🔥 🔥
👍🏼
Did read all the comments, but the wheels and tires looks really good! The only thing I would have liked too see is eather springs or coilovers. But car looks really sweet.
Thanks bud. Lowering springs or coilovers are not available yet since it’s a brand new platform. They are in the works. As soon we get them, it’s going down
You guys make it look easy! Loving it! 😃👍
Thanks 👍
It's crazy how Ugly the 2021 stock rims look. I'd rather a 3rd party set of rims such as those. Or even the A-Spec ones from the 2020 version. That 2021 TLX looks SICK!
Honestly, the tyres they come on are not great grip wise either. I'd trade them and the hubs out as soon as I got the car.
the work you guys do is amazing. Do you know any place that you would recommend to do this type of work in the Greater Toronto Area?
Those wheels look so much better than stock
Definitely should have come with this set up, beautiful
Cheers!!
Looks really good!! Does front sensor need to be calibrated after removal and install of front bumper?
Thanks. No calibration needed
Looks amazing, love the rims and color combo
Right on!!!
That front bumper with all the clips and screws was giving me anxiety feeling 😫 but look good
Seem intimidated but if you take your time, it’s not bad at all
What brand is the blue handled clip pliers you are using? I have been working on a few FK8's with those clips and would like to purchase a pair. Thanks info and keep up the great work guys!
Nice your guys on fire bronx ny here i wonder next. Year s will have this kit factory
Will share see
Wow...looks awesome..drop it a inch and its done... Its a killa waiting til spring 2021 to how these mods compares to factory Type S
Agreed!!
Awesome 👍👍😊...I think a little lowered with Brembo brakes would finish the look... however, well done guys and get some rest.
Thanks 🙏🏼
Nice ! Great job guys it looks awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
AHC I love your videos and love for Acura/Hondas! I have two questions 1. Is regular 87 gas ok to use on Acuras? (I know it says "premium recommended") 2. Has there been any carbon buildup issues with the new honda/acuras since all the engines are direct injection only?
Thanks for watching our videos. It’s highly recommended to use premium on Honda/Acura that requires it. As for carbon build up, we have not seen cases with excessive carbon build up on the direct injection models
@@ahcgarage Thank you for your quick reply! You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Nice....🔥.... wish I could see one on a white Aspec with red interiors as I just picked one up this week
Congrats on the new pickup
beautiful ride! i own a 07' tl-s in kinetic blue pearl this is definitely a worthy upgrade :D well done m8
Thanks for your support
Looks great , new subscriber !
Thanks for joining us
That blue is striking, it jumps out at me even on my laptop screen.
I wish I had all the tools to make things happen so effortlessly
awesome, cant wait for the Type S
Thank you for making this video. Sharp looking car.
Thanks for watching
So I normally don't like modifications to cars - they've never really been my thing. The slight changes to this vehicle actually made the vehicle MORE attractive to me and I think Acura missed the mark by not automatically including them. Wheels as well. Honestly well done.
Acura has the best blue and red paint in the the car industry
Agreed!!
Hey guys nice set I will be trading my 2018 tlx a-spec for the s-type in March of next year and I would like the same set up. How can I get in touch with you guys I'm in the Atlanta area.
Its not bad looking. Even thought about trading in my Subaru wrx 2015 for one. A-spec is always the way to go on the TSX~ models. Love that Blue pearl color too!
Glad you like it!
AMAZING! Nice vid guys.
Thanks so much!
Can you guys post the link to where the replacement parts were bought? The new side skirts and the additions to the front bumper ?
They are all available from your local Acura dealership
Looks really nice! Where do we get the under body kit?
That’s a factory accessory from Acura. You can get them at your local Acura dealership
Awesome thanks!
Nice set up. All it needs is a 1.5 or 2inch drop it would absolutely sick.
Agreed!!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful looking automobile, but from a Honda/Acura guy(currently a 16’ TLX owner) $47k before taxes and fees is outrageous.
It's because they're adding 3-5K for the aftermarket wheels and tires.
Nonsense! Just order it all at the time of purchase! I do NOT want anyone to disassemble anything on any new car I purchase especially when you can order directly from the factory.
Good job AHC!
Thank you. By the way, the underbody kit can not be installed from the manufacturing plant. They are accessory and all dealer-installed items.
The only thing still missing is a classic 6 speed manual transmission.😉
They just took it from the Accord and the Civic they surely not gonna move them to Acura products!
@@ricbrown5002 the math just didn't work out. Sigh... a sad sad day!
I have the same wheels on a Honda accord 2017 V6 sedan . Color modern steel metallic ....
I might be trading in for this new Acura ....
You are from broward... I shop there as Lexus and subaru owned by the same company
Looks so good! What are the specific sizes of the wheels / recommendations of the same wheel you would get for the advanced trim? I'm looking to get these for my white advanced!
They are 20x9 +35 all around. This fitment will works for all current trims: Base, Tech, A-Spec and Advance
AHC Garage will you have to get new tires as well? What size works with the stock tires if I were to get just the wheels?
Base has 18” and Tech, A-Spec & Advance have 19”. If you run the 20” Vossen setup, you will need to purchase new tires as well
@@ahcgarage Thank you so much for responding! If I was going to stick with the stock tires / 19" wheels, what + all around should I get if I was to get the same wheels? Sorry for so many questions!
19x8.5 +30
Nice car! I'm looking into getting wheels for my 2021 tlx but can't find the info on the center bore of the car? I know offset is 35mm, I'd get 20x9 but need to know what size hub rings to get? Any info would be cool thanks
Center Bore is 64.1
Def want the type s Tlx in the future
You won’t be disappointed!
I bought my TL from them before moving out of Florida! I lived just down the street!! What's up with that plastic piece over the Acura emblem on the front grille?
That’s the radar unit for the Acura watch Pre-collision system
I have a staggered set of Vossen rims that are identical to your aspec TLX build in terms of specs. I've recently purchased a type s and was wondering if it's possible to stagger the TLX Type S?
Yes, you can run the same specs on the Type-S
Looks awesome! As close to the type S as you can get until it comes out!
Can't wait!
@@ahcgarage Neither can I!
i feel like there is not big enough gap between A-Spec and Type S, they needed to give it a bigger power bump, like 400 hp 375lb-ft of torque to stay competitive over the next few years before another refresh or redesign...
Where did you buy this kit??? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find it.
You can find it at your local Acura dealership
How long did it take to install the side skirt and the front pieces? Dealer wanted to charge me 2.5 hours just for the sides.
Now for a lowering spring kit or D2 coilover setup to come out for these
Love to see a kit on a white tlx thanks
I love these rims. I want them for my 2017 TLX. They are pricey though.
Just wondering how much the dealer mark up in price after that kit and wheels add on? Look amazing
Not quite sure. But you can contact the dealership
www.AcuraofPembrokePines.com
Can’t quite make out the sticker at the far left at 24:07 but it looks like it has over $3,000 in add-ons and extras.
Subtle change, but looks incredible!
Thank you!!
Where can I get those parts body kit for my vehicle 2021, I just purchased exactly the same color,, thanks
You are able to pick them up at your local Acura dealership
I just learned if you build a TLX online and added these trims to the vehicle you will have to pay separately for the installation.
Looks so much better
Thanks 🙏🏼
wow what a beauty. plaes drop it down! Greetz from Germany!
That's the plan!
Looks sharp, wish it was mine 🤩
Thanks!!
@AHC Garage ,would you be able to tell what tire you put on the HF3 Vossen? thank you
You meant the size? If so, 255/35/20
@@ahcgarage no the brand and model of the tire ..thanks
