^ RJ kit is actually the worst, I think the pic I posted has a smaller front lip.

'03 TL lip kit is the best IMO.

im with him. 02-03 TL lip is pure sex, im not biased or anything...


but on a serious note: if you could mold the bottom half of the TL bumper (fog lights and lip kit) on to the CL bumper you'd be set.

lol you are so right. every cl owner would be buying it. the only reason that i like that acura didnt make a lip for the cl is that it just makes your cl stand out from every other cl out there to have one molded.

i highly doubt anyone will be able to make the TL kit bolt up and still look professional. i pondered for hours trying to figure it out but you would have to fabricate brackets to hold the lip in place. as for the side skirts that is a whole other story on its connection system. the tl brackets do not line up with the CL. you would need to relocate each of the rear brackets so that it would clip into place. i sat in my garage trying to come up with a way but ended up just overlaying them on to the stock cl skirts. my original plan was to do the kit and figure out how to make it so that anyone could easily bolt it on after i modded them. after molding 2 kits the easiest way i found is to just mold them onto stock parts and document the process for others to try. now if i could sell my one huge how-to book without it being copied hundreds of times......

don't mean to discourage you but good luck in tackling this project.

this was a custom bumper mold, upper half cl, lower half tl. there are plenty other people who just mold the TL kits though. look above.

If you can get someone to fit the lip from that black TL with the tinted headlights, that would look sick. what company makes that?

So basically get a tl front lip molded on and use the rj sideskirts and rear. I would have to mold the rear cause i dont like that line where it connects. Doing anything else or trying to make a kit is useless. Even if its the best kit ever made there arent enough ppl to buy it to even get your money back.

If you can model the 99-01 lip for our cars out of polyurethane Id be in for a kit as well. The 02-03 lip doesnt flow IMO. That extra vent underneath the bumper vents doesnt look right.

polyurethane molds? good luck. that is why these cheap companies make fiberglass molds and lips. they do not have to be pressure injected and cost thousands just for startup.

if your making these front lips out of fiberglass its going to be a waste of time and money. the first pebble you hit its going to crack.
