how expensive is that!!!

I think the TL body shape should have been the CL and vice versa. The TL is more aggressive looking, especially the front end.

That's a pretty bad Photochop job. Or is it really painted like that?
Why didn't he seam the chrome window trim.

You know, I have several pictures of his car and I never noticed it was converted to 2doors. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's just Photoshop work because I remember that exact pic of it only with the normal four doors.

Those Momo sports look so darn good on a TL. Haven't seen a pic of them on a CL yet though.

Is it just me, or do the tail lights look like they've been squashed, top to bottom?

Well, I did some looking on the TL board, and found this (it took some real detective work) http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...threadid=31733 - someone posted this as a photoshop job. The tails are chopped, among other changes.

That's a really good photoshop job. Hints: The reflection in the passenger door is abruptly interupted, and (as previously mentioned) the chrome is unbroken over and under the door seal. Regardless, it's very well done.

Looks great too, like a cross between the 2nd generation CL and the last generation Legend coupe. The wheels are better than average (as far as aftermarket wheels go). The underbody trim is a little bit of a soft after thought, it doesn't quite blend with the car's sharp, angular design. I'd also delete the spoiler and raise the suspension slightly (maybe).

Good work, whoever made this.

The 2002 CL-S front end is identical to the TL-S front end.


A 2 door TL would be interesting.


If they came out with it, do you think it would be about the same price as our cars?

NO, its nothing like the front of the TL-S....the grill on the tl is much bigger, and the headlights are different shaped, just to name the major things.

thats not a bad idea actually 4dr-->2dr conversion
I bet it would win shows easily!

Plus the Streeteffectz conversion or Astroboy-like conversion, and
that TL would be KING

Ummm, maybe you were just being sarcastic, but there are no 2nd gen, CL front ends that look like TL front ends not even the new ones.

Looks like jealousy.... but the reverse of what you meant.
The guy did that with MS Paint, I think, and not Photoshop, so he really didn't do too bad of a job, considering.
True, the CL is the 2 door TL, but we all know the TL has the better front end, and tail lights. ...and tail pipes, and gas cap cover, and lines, and...

The '02 TL has the better front end. Nothing earlier than '02 beats the CL. The tail lights are not better, IMO. Comparing the lines is apples and oranges, but considering everything I'd say I like them the same.

CL had the Type-S first... Why do you suppose they did that?

To get a rough idea before they make the final beautiful creation known as the TL-S. Thank god cause if the TL looks like a CL, then I would've never bought one.

BTW, you CL guys are pretty slow to pick up on things. How can you not know that it's a photoshop job or whatever you call it.:P

If you're refering to me, then you're an ignorant troll. Look at my post on page one of this thread, and comprehend before posting next time. If you're refering to others who didn't know this was a digitally altered image, well, you're right.
