Check this out...

Money shot #1:


Money shot #2:


As for the trim kit, I was reluctant to release these pics because that center dash piece isn't on there yet, nor are the two right vents or upper vents...but they're coming

If you want to see the rest of the pics feel free to hop on over to www.acura-tl.org ...

Thanks man appreciate it . Believe me it's far from tacky...all the Austinites out here will get to see it when we do a meet hopefully end of Sept. You're the first though that's said it was tacky...even the Acura dealerships (here and in B'ham) told people to go out and look at it...but to each his own.

Glad to hear you like the shift knob though

The only place I would consider doing it is around the gauge cluster. It looks silly around the radio and HVAC controls. But hey, as long as you like it.

I think it looks pretty good actually.

Not sure if I would do it to mine because its pretty dramatic, but I think it holds together nicely.

And the shift knob is killer with that trim.

Glad you didn't buy any then .

ComptechType-S:
That was my concern beforhand as well...but I assure you it's not. I want to get an Austin meet together so people can see it face to face...

threetwoseeL:
Why? Our kits go right over the stock stuff too...but they're not coated by plastic (which is usually done because the "metal" isn't real metal, but actually plastic painted to look like metal) so you can actually FEEL the metal feel...but

dhlesq:
Thanks bro. It is dramatic...but it turned out great

bl^5:
I'm totally game man. Hopefully I'll have headers in and the trim done and a mod I plan on groupbuying in the future done. In fact...lemme find out when I'll be getting that other mod...I'd like to showcase it at a good texas meet soon.

Actually it's a TL-S....and yeah it's www.ap-signworks.com. If you've been following the door sills groupbuy...it is by the same company, and I'll be groupbuying it shortly...
