RJSD and I recently tackled on a new kit for the 2010 TL. Let me know what you guys think. The kit prototype is still being refined and the molds should be done by this month.

Here's some progress shots in California:

Nice, but let's face it: you're no Arash.

The new TSX and TL don't even sell. I rarely see them on the road.

pfft... a beautiful car does not require any exterior modification, not to mention destroying it with canards.

they can redesign all they want, but until they come to their senses and get rid of that stupid corporate grille they've saddled their entire line with, it will never look right imo...

That factory wheels just so damn small for that car! Other than that this is by far the nicest TL ever made!

All the used TLS are either silver or white in Vancouver.
what are the reasons that ppl shouldn't import tl's anyway? they all seem so much cheaper than here

also the 2012 lift is uglier imo =s

I think the 2nd gen is the best looking. I used to see a blue one with full OEM kit slammed on stock wheels around Langara and it always got my attention. The new one is just awkward looking with the integrated bumper duct/foglights.

There's plenty of reasons why tsx's are worth more than TL's in the used car market.

Why's that? Are they unreliable?

thats not an a-spec tl. thats just a type-s with the a-spec kit. this is an a-spec(my old car), http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2653340/2003-acura-tl

IMO the 03 type-s a-spec was the best TL made in terms of style and class.

yea... i think that's Andy? he use to have the WDP 3G TL and that was sick looking...
it helps, i tried so hard to like it thinking that 4g look might grow on me with an aspec kit or blacked out or painted grille... but i still don't think the 4G TLs can look decent
