There are only two under body kits for the 4th gen TL from what I know of. The Ron Jon and the OEM. The Ron Jon front bumper lip will not fit your year TL unless you do slight modifications and it won't be "flush" with your front fenders. You could do a mix and match and have the OEM front and the Ron Jon sides and rear if that fits your style. Good luck with your search and grats on your new ride!

Buy the kit from the dealer. It's around $900 not installed. What coils did you end up getting. Welcome to the zine!

First and foremost welcome to Acurazine, you started modding the correct way. Coils first then lip kit second and third should be some rims. I believe Rob from Acura of Lynwood can get you a good deal on the kit.

Welcome to Azine and congrats on your new car.


Great advice from the members above, be sure to check out the photography section and look through some of the build thread for more ideas.

Yes my boy Rob can plug. Just tell him RT sent you. He always takes care of everyone I refer. Plus I'm his biggest customer! Good luck!

you guys are awesome. i think i will go with the oem kit, i actually like the way it looks and its 3 times cheaper then the ronjon by the time i get it painted lol. i already have the 19" sports package rims, i actually love the way they look, they are black and chrome. but im sure ill get tired of them pretty quickly lol what about some performance mods for starters, like intake and exhaust maybe?

Haha forgot about the roof spoiler. Such a little mod that goes a long way! I'm gonna source out those 19's for my daily set of wheels. Only running my Works during summer.

Got my 2013 OEM lip kit PAINTED and shipped to me for around 900-950 from the vendor above. Try giving him a call and seeing if he can help you out. Installing the OEM lip kit can be tricky if your doing it by yourself so I recommend you have a friend help you with it. Since you'll be taking off your front bumper for the project, I also recommend you order any HID Fogs, switchbacks, and any other lights to knock out while you install. Good luck!

THIS IS THE BEST ADVICE HERE.

If you have any intention of modding your lights upfront, do it while the front end is already off. I didn't and it's a pain to have to take it off again...

You ever think about getting rid of the rims for a decent price let me know.
