I will not market TL/CL kit to sell...
I've decided not to even consider making a mold for my TL/CL body kit to sell, period. I took a TL copyrighted kit, made it work on my CL, that does not make the kit to be my design to market/nor sell.
I do not have any legal grounds to stand on, and when Acura's legal team is thru w/ me, I'll be lucky to have any money left to eat instant noodle for the rest of my life
example: For the gun buffs, when Kahr (gun company) came out w/ the K9 gun, very similar design to Glock's design, Glock sued for millions
Hell, in these days of frivilous law suits, if U sneezed too loud, someone could sue U for hurting their ear drums
This is my self preservation instinct kicking in, and it's a lot stronger than my wish to make some $, and be an entrepreneur.

I've posted general details of what's involved to make the TL kit to work on the CL, I can't go into the specific details...
I can understand my body guy's thinking, it's kind of like "trade secrets", he did 80% of the fabrication even though I did all the R&D, help w/ 30% of the regular cutting, measuring & stuff, my inputs and approval every step of the way of what it needs to look like. But w/o his experience on fabrication, this TL kit would still be only in my mind & my photoshopped CL.
So I am sorry that I can't post all the specifics...

And I also agree with Satin Slayer about a D-I-Y set of instructions

Are you still going to post the picture of your car when complete?

I will also post semi-detailed (except for fabrication specifics, can't break the trust I have w/ my body guy, cause if he found out by surfing this forum, he'll probably won't do any custom work for me) instructions / procedures of what is required to make a TL kit to fit a CL in the DIY FAQ section...
You can take the procedures to any well experienced body shop should be able to the same conversion for ya...
