Cue the front license plate complaints in 3... 2... 1... GO!
It's so horrible, I've already requested the bracket not be installed. I actually requested the factory and shipping window markings, stickers, plastic seat covers..ect all stay intact and I don't want it washed. I'll mount the plate off the bumper later on.

I think in 3 months we'll be so used to seeing it that no one will give it a 2nd thought.

Congrats on your extreme makeover! :)

You look like an entirely different type of guy with the vehicle on your left versus your current ride on the right.
I'm basically doing the same swap, only I have a TLX, not an ILX (and his is newer)

Did it have the sandstone seats?!
So itā€™s weird because the seats on the website for that are completely different. They were like medium grey with a light grey middle and a very subtle pattern but were definitely cloth. Not sure how else to describe them and they are not on the site. Weird.

Those are the same as the base gets. I ordered my rig mostly identical except mines race red and sandstone interior.

I noticed it but wasnā€™t taken aback by it or appalled by it. It was just like, ok I see you. Unfortunately, WI has front plate requirement although not often enforced. I may ask to not drill it especially as mine will have the bull bar. Where would they put it if you have that and the winch?

This is great information! I read you mentioning the quiet ride and you maybe already answered this. How are the Goodyear tires? You wouldnā€™t believe the amount of daydream time Iā€™ve thought about whether Iā€™ll need to replace them šŸ˜‚

Nice! I Hope that's a dealer's mock and not someone's Res. I'd be pissed if a person posted they got to drive my rig before me šŸ¤£

OP - Thanks for posting!

How was the steering feel? Did it have a lot of play like a pick up truck? Or did it have somewhat tight-ish steering like an suv/sedan?
No problem. As far as steering goes, I thought it was responsive and didnā€™t feel it was any worse than any of our SUVs that we have/had-Acura MDX/RDX or Lexus 400. Wasnā€™t as tight as my ILX and had a little give but never having driven a truck I canā€™t say more than that.

It actually is a dealer loaner. How crazy is that? The sales guy I drove with said they had it for a few days and everyone at the dealership and their moms have driven it already (although ironically he hadnā€™t yet).

I was on for like 2 minutes max so nothing jumped out at me. It was lightly raining/water on the ground so their was sound from that.
