Some rolling shots and last TL lip kit in National

According to Acura this is the last 99 TL front lip in the Nation. Of course with a big price tag to go with it. Acura of Valencia California is all about sticking it to there customers. I got quoted $399 for the lip at to different Acura dealers and when I go to pick up they stick me with $488. This is the second time these douche bags have done this to me in two weeks. The other was ICV quoted $175 and got there it was $280. Don't go to Acura of Valencia at all cost!!!!!!







Rollin:

i bought an entire kit for $650 brand new and that was only last year. you need to chase down some other resources. i got it at some acura parts store. i have the link on my home computer.

I have been looking for months and haven't had any luck. The ones on ebay are not OEM from what I have found. Just ready to do the conversion.

By the way your car is my screen saver and has been for months Love your car!!!!!

WHERE ON EBAY?!!! I want a lip like that!! 1999 to 2001 TL.

Jesus christ, ive been searching for a front lip like that since 3 months!!

I work in a HONDA Part distribution for honda canada... We dont have those kits since 1-2 years in stock... We have 3 warehouses.. one in vancouver, toronto and montreal.. all of them dosent have the lip.. I cannot search on the american honda system because our system is not connected with american honda.

and the price you paid for that is CRAZY.. we employees pay like 120-180$MAX for that.


I made a thread this afternoon on the tl forum to see if anyone have one.. no luck

Its the angle of the car + the angle of the driveway + very stiff suspension with very little travel.

You can try parking on a driveway exactly the same way but you will just end up with a ton of wheel gap in the wheel that he has in the air...

the way the shadows are and what not. maybe i have my screen on too sensative setting

I dont know why, but for some reason in the first pic, the right rear tire looks like it was just placed on the driveway... like its floating. I dunno
