Hard to say whether it looks better or not...
Loved the 3rd Gen and 4th Gen took some time to adapt the bulky look but it looked great with OEM full kit.
Painted friend's 4th Gen front grill/rear trunk trim piece to factory color and it looked a lot better (OEM kit included)...

the TL gets progressively worse looking as the years go on
oh well, as what happens to me ever new model...once they introduce an A-spec kit then it will start to grow on me.

Still disappointed with facelift. They need to get over that current beak grille.
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: http://www.ronjonsportdesign.com/4g_tl_kit.html | |

^^ thats a better grill. Paint the outer trim and leave the middle polished. It creates a smaller floating look instead of the bigger beak look.
Or in my friends case, we painted the whole grill white to match body color.
Great designs jmv!! Posted via RS Mobile | |

Awesome designs, jmv! You've really cleaned up the god awful new grille.
The facelift would look better if the silver around the Acura logo was blacked.

Not sure why they insist on sticking with that hideous "beak grill" its like they hate money and don't want it to sell well. Also not digging the air scoop within an air scoop look.

TL's don't hold their value at all.
There's plenty of reasons why tsx's are worth more than TL's in the used car market. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Interesting.. the JMV design actually looks decent. The ass is still way too big though, and from the side, it looks like the Maxima.
Can somebody give me a reason why I shouldn't import this? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/2203536655.html
All the used TLS are either silver or white in Vancouver.
