Yup. Had to airbrush the hell out of it. Pretty much just the outside part of the bumper is used. Side skirt is from the nsx as well. I will try to incorporate more nsx to it. I was going to use the nsx wheels but it just doesn't look right.

I'll work on another version without that dip on the doors tomorrow.

Nobody noticed the grill? I was going to paint it body color but decided to bring that nsx grill style over as well.

Why not ?

TL sedans, TL coupes => One big TL family.

Just like the E350 sedans, E350 coupes, E550 sedans, E550 coupes. All one big E-series family.

True. After the chop I think I like the TL coupe more too.

Niccce. I saw NSX Concept right off the bat.

Coupe looks great, just a suggestion though: the shape of the door is a bit too straight. usually it will angle ever so slightly towards the front. Sorta like the rear doors of the sedan.

Love the wheels!

Or a 350hp supercharged 3.7L-V6 which is more realizable than the will-never-happen-V8.

v6 would be more consumer friendly but there is but so much hp a v6 could withstand. Not to mention anything with turbos just means a lot of maintenance.

In other words, naturally aspirated V8 is the way to go. But no such luck for Honda/Acura.

i would be willing to bet that a v8 400 hp tl coupe would sell more than the zdx has by now.

You know, some years back, when I first heard from Honda that the next generation (3G) RL would have V8 and RWD for the top-rim level sedan, I was so excited that I almost ran to the Acura dealership to put down my deposit on one.

But it was a huge disappointment that the super sedan would never see daylight.
