RON JON bodykit?
I really dig the new ron jon body kit for the 3rd gen TL. I am not a big fan of body kits(mostly cuz most of them look very bulky) but the ron jon one is pretty stylish. Anyone know if Ron Jon will develop one for us tsxers? 
peace.
peace.

I tried to ask in that thread twice and never got a response...i like how it looks, not sure what it would look like on the TSX, but it would be nice to see a drawing.

Get just about 25 people to show strong interest, and things could happen, but i see the TSX has alot of kits out already. If you want, arrange a group buy for 25 kits, and we can produce them with deposits, but its kinda risky to build them without demand.
The design of the kit would also be hands on and ultimately be up to the participants of the GB.

when you do design the kit make sure the front is open...if u have a good design i might be in on a GB. But I need my intercooler to be able to breathe. Other than that the TL kit is nice. Oh also could you try to make the rear a complete replacement for the bumper. Rear lips are ugly too many seams on the car. A replacement bumper would look so much cleaner.

yo im down with that body kit.. I think the TL is NICE. If you could design one along that line with a bit more emphasis on style rather than speed (because the tsx is not that strong of a car HP wise). But i would definately be down for that. Just my 2 cents! Thanks!

The front grill on the TL kit is very high end looking and slick.

What do you guys think about that? you could even order the OEM sides and rear from the dealer pre-painted and have them all installed at the same time.

I'm personally not a fan of that 3rd gen TL, but really like the CL body kit you guys designed. for me, if the bumper was going to fully replace the grill, it better look a lot better than my mugen grill

Ron,
Please don't make a "riced" out kit. I mean don't get me wrong im asian but all those riced out kits look the same. Why do u think everyones bustin a nut about the TL kit. It's style over a riced out nasty same ol same ol open front ended for intercooler crap. If they want an open front for an intercooler get any other kit on the market. Ron Jon, your rims are chromes. Please make that compliments those.

BlackAcuraTSX....first off you don't seem to even know what "rice" is. It has nothing to do with your nationality. We who post on this site are here for performance of the car whether it be stock or modified. A front bumper that has room for an intercooler doesn't make it rice. The luckybrand or what ever kit it is thats on Ebay is rice, Mugen and Phase are definately not "rice". A supra wing on a del sol is rice, a body kit that is rivetted on is rice, a car that has 2 spoilers is rice. Not a clean car that is done with taste. An opening in the front bumper to accomidate an intercooler is just what it is. To let outside air directly cool the intercooler so the intake air temp of a turbo car is lower and less chance of detonation. Please don't call something rice when you don't know what rice is. just my

First Off Stokeless,
If you wanted to get a car for speed, you CHOSE the wrooong car buddy. I believe that most of the people here chose the TSX on looks rathers than speed. And, the first response Ron got after his concepts was that the second one was better. That means the one with not a fuckin huge opening in the middle like ALL the other kits on the market u retard. Again, I'll emphasize that IF YOU WANT A KIT WITH AN OPEN END FOR AN INTERCOOLER GET ANY OTHER KIT ON THE MARKET. just my

the second is pretty cool. i would like to see you blend it together with the rest of the OEM kit in design. and the grill is cool, but those kinds of designs are hard to perfect in real life with the 3d factor.
but, good start RJ

I like the 2nd kit the most so far. More angles would be great when you get a chance Ron.

.So before you start talkin shit know what your talking about. And the second kit looks good and has an opening for an intercooler. Its not closed off like the TL kit. Thats all we were asking for. So go get your definition of "rice" straight before you start flapping your gums and getting upset.
