All he would have needed to do to fix his car up before the kit was get new wheels. Gold doesn't really go well with black, IMO.

i rather have the standard acura grill instead of that other one, and i do like those exhaust pipes instead of the regular square ones already on the TL, but the square ones do look good though, and yeah gold doesnt go well with black. the TL is a nice looking car, even without the kit, but with the kit, i think it brings out the racy look of it

Looks nice with the body kit , but that new grill is questionable, the TL could use a nicer grill though . . .

I just can't help but think what if..

that car was either awd or rwd.... I like the lines of the car, I know its a capable performer but I just can't help it would of been a stronger contender for both the G35 and 3 series if it had a different drivetrain.

With 6 posts I think you'd get happy looking at just about anything

sorry,but i dont think that body kit flow together with the TL. IMO. i would much rather get factory A- Spec kit than this one. Acura offers the best factory kit in the market, and A-Spec are kinda pricy but really nice and flow together with their cars.

giving it the current RL's drivetrain with a 3.5L 300 HP, 260 lb./ft. of Torque attached to SH-AWD would make it an awesome car. I believe it weighs around 3500 lbs right now. Think about a 3600 lb TL with +30 HP and +22 lb/ft of Torque. It's being considered...

I like this idea, & I like the looks of the TL better than the RL.

The TL is an outstanding looking car even when stock. I like the front and side, but seriously hate the rear. It makes the rear of the car look droppy. Like the trunk extends all the way down to the mufflers. No thanks on the rear. Leave the stock rear bumper with A-spec kit on please.

I think only the color of the bodykit is photochopped on as are the wheels. I remember seeing similar pics(maybe the same pics) with the RonJon kit on a real car(excpet they were not color photochopped) on an Acura forum not to long ago. I believe this car belongs to a member of that forum.
