As a large portion of the hitch will be visible below the rear bumper fascia, I would recommend the Curt Class I Receiver hitch, part # C11496. The hitch crossbar is constructed of round tubular steel, instead of the square tube like the other hitches. Many (myself included) find that the round tube looks better and seems to be less visible.
On the other hand, if you do not mind the appearance of the square tube, the Curt Receiver, part # C11496 would be a more economical choice, as you... view full answer...
According to Yakima, the FullBack 3 will indeed fit your 2006 Acura TL.
To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle. view full answer...
With all three hitches offered for your Acura, the hitch will be visible below the rear fascia. This being said, the Curt Class I Receiver, part # C11496 features a round tube crossbar that many find more attractive than the square tube stock that the other two hitches use.
We have several different bike racks with a two bike capacity that are compatible with a Class I receiver. The Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360 would be my recommendation. This is a great mid-priced rack that features... view full answer...
I believe it is the angle of the photos because both Curt hitch # C11496 and Curt trailer hitch # C11496 will have the receiver and a good portion of the cross tubing exposed below the fascia on your 2012 Acura TL.
If you plan on towing with the Curt hitch then use # C45521 for the ball mount. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. Part # F-4 is the pin and clip you need.
If you will not be towing then I recommend Curt hitch # C11496 because it does not come... view full answer...
The nicest trunk mounted bike rack we offer as a confirmed fit for your 2013 Acura TL is the Thule OutWay bike rack part # TH45JV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer.
The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables... view full answer...
Yes, the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack Bike Rack part # S63360 that you referenced has 11 inches from the center of the pin hole to the upright mast of the rack. That would be more than enough clearance to clear the rear bumper of your 2005 Acura TL with the Draw Tite Hitch part # 24755 installed. view full answer...
The Sportrack Semi Custom roof rack part # SR1002 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Acura TL so it would work. This rack has a 90 lb capacity though so you would need to be sure that you do not exceed this figure or the roof weight capacity listed in the owners manual of your vehicle. view full answer...
For your 2014 Acura TL, I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11496. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that bolts to your Acura with included hardware.
Then I recommend the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9025XT which will be limited to 2 bikes with a class 1 hitch which is all that is available for your current vehicle but will fit 4 bikes up to 35 lbs each when you use a class II hitch or a 2 inch hitch receiver... view full answer...
There are a couple of differences between the two. The JetStream bars like # Y00425 are made of extruded aluminum while the CoreBars such as the # Y00421 you've looked at are constructed of galvanized steel. As you've mentioned, the CoreBar has a higher capacity. The primary difference is that the JetStream bars feature the T-Slot channel at the top that allows quick and easy accessory installation, while accessories used with the CoreBars would need to clamp around the crossbar.

The Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains # PW1038 you referenced will work for your 2007 Acura TL and are easy to install and comply with all Department of Transportation use. The typical tire size for your car is 235/45-17. If your tire size is different, I can recommend another set of chains for you or you can check out our tire chain fitguide to see what tire chain works for the size of tire your vehicle has. I have posted a link to that page.

The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24755 will only fit an Acura TL from 2004-2008. The reason for this is because like most of our trailer hitches it is a custom fit which means it is designed specially for the Acura TL frame. There is not a trailer hitch available that will fit your Acura TL and can then be transferred to another vehicle unless it is one listed above.

The OEM connector that you need to find to install the Plug-N-Tow TM Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 43105, is located in the trunk behind the driver side taillight access panel.
The access panel is the piece of the interior that you would remove if you were trying to replace the tail light bulb.
It might not be in plain view, you might need to reach in there and see if you can feel around for it.
I attached the installation instructions for this product below for you to check out. view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist - Crossbar Mount - Side Loading - 132 lbs, # RR-RUSL, is a universal fit that will work with standard square crossbars. In the installation details, which I've attached, you will simply use #4 for Clamp A and #5 for Clamp B and will use the inner holes for both.
For your 2002 Acura TL, The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack, # SR1002, is a confirmed fit that uses standard square crossbars. This rack will allow you to use the Rhino-Rack Load Assist.

I am personally a big fan of the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack part # KU74FR for a few reasons. The first being that the center portion is open so you can walk right up inside of the rack and place your bikes in the cradles whereas for the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY10003 you will have to stop at some point and lift the bike up and over the center section. The other reason I prefer the Kuat Transfer 2 is because it just has a more aesthetically pleasing look... view full answer...
The Clazzio Custom Seat Covers - Black # AL-EAACB0011BK referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2004 Acura TL. While we do not have any available pictures of the cover installed in your vehicle, this is a confirmed fit per the manufacturer.
The covers will simply slip onto the seats for a quick and easy installation using the hook-and-loop fasteners, straps and S-hooks. These are designed to fit over the original seat material, so I do not recommend removing the original... view full answer...
The Thule Hull-A-Port J-Style Rooftop Kayak Carrier, # TH834, can be used with the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System, # TH711400, # TH480R, # THKIT1544, on your 2006 Acura TL but you will also need Adapter Kit, # THXADAPT11.
The WingBars are also available in black using part # TH711420.
This kayak carrier accomodates kayaks up to 75 pounds and 36 inches wide but I do recommend checking your Acura's owner's manual for the weight capacity of the TL's roof. view full answer...
Since you are concerned about voiding the warranty of your TL, I recommend checking the towing section in your owners manual if you plan on installing a trailer hitch to tow a trailer. Honda states that the Acura TL was not designed for towing and doing so could void the warranty. That is something to keep in mind before installing a trailer hitch or trailer wiring harness.
If you want a wiring harness because you will be carrying a hitch mounted cargo carrier with additional lights,... view full answer...
The only trailer hitch that fits your 2002 Acura TLS is the Curt trailer hitch # C11290 which does require stabilization strap # 18050 like you mentioned. This stabilizer strap has a rubber coated hook that goes inside of your trunk.
For this hitch to work for you, you will need a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I hitch. Class I trailer hitches are limited to 2 bikes maximum. For a Class I compatible bike rack I recommend the Swagman Trailhead # S63360. It holds 2 bikes, has... view full answer...
You are correct the Hidden Hitch Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 60814 (no longer available), and the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24755, are the same hitch produced by Cequent Performance Products. Both of the hitches will fit your 2008 Acura TL.
The # 24755 Draw-Tite hitch does not include the ball mount and pin and clip. This hitch is sold to someone that might be using the hitch to carry a bike rack on the rear of their vehicle and will not need the ball mount.
