Hound, I only have one person interested but he's not even sure yet.
If you are REALLY interested - I'm not in a rush to sell these but it would be nice to have extra cash. They might still be available. Just shoot me a offer and I'll even reserve them for you... If the price is right. LOL
Let me know!

) i had to bite the bullet and being Brembo's on the front that was a hard bullet to bite.... Then around 1500km's after that, the rear's went, I could tell that the caliper actually seized onto the rotor as there was a constant grinding noise present, took it in and they said that it was "normal" and that the system was designed that way so as to notify you that you need new brakes (i highly doubt that but w/e not worth going there) all this time, the tranny was showing signs of misuse from a previous driver be it the owner or someone else. And just recently the 3rd gear syncro decided to die on me 
Luckly they fixed that under warrenty cause had they not, i would have left the car there and gone to court over it... The car underneath it all is a nice car, lots of power when you need it, comfortable seats, great stereo, love the navi 
but, all that has been dampened by the lack of customer service that i have recieved from the dealership and even a person from acura canada, i may get rid of it come spring and start fresh. But after this incident with this car, i will not be going back to Honda or Acura, not that the products are bad or anything (although I'm starting to have my doubts) but more out of spite to those who have treaded me poorly. sorry Chris 
at least it's a bump

Honestly the car is nice had it for a year now, but, the car shows signs of being abused by the previous owner (sales manager at the dealership here) Had to put on new rubber right off the bat when spring rolled around (car came with winters on cause I got it in November of last year) after 100km's of driving the car and slowly getting used to it (I baby all my cars) the clutch went, the dealership wanted to charge me $1400 for a new clutch, but i refused, stating that I had not driven the car hard at all, which i hadn't, and that I had been driving manual cars for 5-6 years now and NEVER had a clutch even come close to going on me. After that it seemed to be ok, but then, to my dismay, the front brakes went, now i do do a lot of HWY driving but i try not to be hard on the brakes, downshifting sometimes to slow down at speed rather then getting on the brakes, but again, have never had to have brakes replaced, let alone after 10-20,000km's but, as they wern't covered under warrenty (how conveniant ) i had to bite the bullet and being Brembo's on the front that was a hard bullet to bite.... Then around 1500km's after that, the rear's went, I could tell that the caliper actually seized onto the rotor as there was a constant grinding noise present, took it in and they said that it was "normal" and that the system was designed that way so as to notify you that you need new brakes (i highly doubt that but w/e not worth going there) all this time, the tranny was showing signs of misuse from a previous driver be it the owner or someone else.

yea, gonna be looking at a wagon actually, maybe a used E55 wagon always wanted one of those. The ultimate sleeper hehehe. Yea the brakes on the TL are nuts, they literaly take you out of your seat if you stomp on them, Other then the M6 and other more high end cars they are the best OEM brakes I've seen in a midlevel car.
And the car is a licence killer as well, as the rate that it picks up speed is evil
