Possible new future for body kits...

I emailed this company that makes body kits for alot of cars, and they said Acura CL-S is in the plans. Here is his email:

Yes, we want to make one and have a customer on stand-by.
Most likely use our SWAAT design add-on kit from IS300. We are not sure yet.

We have other projects in front of this car. It will not be for a
while.

NO ETA. No price.

Go here to see the SWAAT design, the one below it is painted and similar but the one non-painted is the Swaat Design.

SilverBullet good job researching kits for the good ol' CL.

This kit doesn't look too bad considering what is available so far. A little too wild for my liking, but I would be interested.

Here is the actual link to the IS300

Hey Charles, you should start a new business. Make a custom CL kit with the OEM TL one. Im sure you and your body shop will make a lot of money.

I'd be happy if any of these bodykit companies would just take a TL kit and fit it for our car like CharlesNguyen had done custom. Then again Acura probably has a patent or something on the TL kit and might be able to sue any other company that used it for a CL kit.

Really? You mean in some crazy scheme to actually turn a profit, they may have copyrighted something that they produced?



Another pointless post...

Thought about it many times, but don't have the facility nor tools, nor money for lawsuits :P

But no can do....
