yes you should go with tints!!!

and rims!!! you need to it will make your ride a lot better. seriously thnk about it.

 

it's already tinted. 40% Kuper Optik cheramic...*sigh*

as I said before, I'll never get pulled over for tints.

Grill was previously photochopped...I guess I need to post here as well.

 

Here it is again...

dropped on H&R 50116's

 

You are in serious need of some wheels.

Also, NYC without bumper guards. I know they are ugly but almost a requirement with all of the idiots out there that bumper park their cars.

 

Please see rear bumper for evidence of those special people you mentioned,

 

LOL, I see it. For those that are not familiar with NYC, it is practically accepted to bump cars front and rear while squeezing into a spot. No one will even bat an eye unless your the owner of a nice red RL. Sucks. Those stock wheels actually are not too bad on the lowered RL. But that rear end...oh my, I like what Acura did with that.

 

I see it, too. Accepted, my ass, I'd be MOST displeased with bumper scrapes. Luckily, here in Cleveland, this is not too much an issue.

 

 

Oh, so those HR springs you bought from the website? How you likin to ride difference and what's it like?

BTW, what you plannin for the rear bumper scratches and stuff? I ask cuz I got a couple small marks on my bumper, but from myself...

 

the ride reminds me of my TL, a bit roughter than before.

Haven't really had the chance to feel a handling difference...got stuck with passengers who don't appreciate extra G forces.

As far as the bumper, it's more dirty than beat up.

I have no plans to paint it up, maybe put something over it...don't know yet.

 

Looks good with a drop. I got to drop mine bad.

Looks nice!

 

You may want to disable comments on youtube. The 09 is not getting love there.

thanks for letting me know about the comments. I usually don't get any. Let people speak, I'm curious what they think.

Sometimes it's kinda funny to see how little they know.

Most of them think quad tippers are stock.

Even more of them are repeating what other sites say about the grill. I guess I should photochop competitor grills next to RL and see if they like that better

 

 

Nothing surprising for me here. Should post a rear shot instead, the results would be more favorable. The overwhelming consensus everywhere is that Acura made a huge mistake with the front. You could post this a hundred times and not change that kind of opinion. Sure there are exceptions, but few.

My ranking
1)BMW
2)Audi
3)Lexus
4)Benz
5)Infiniti
6) Acura last, change the duck beak to something decent and it will shoot straight to the top somewhere

 

I'd need to be shot in the foot to pick Infiniti or Lexus over Acura grill

 

I agree with you on that note. I didn't like the Acura grill at first but after seeing so many pictures of it and seeing it in person. It is not ugly as some people think.

 

that is completely subjective just as my opinion below is.

I'm not saying the Infiniti grill is nice, it is horrible, but the Acura grill to me is comical, downright ridiculous. Belongs on a Ford Focus. Change that grill and the car will take on a whole new look. It could be worse, it could have a comic book front and rear like the new TL.

Perhaps Acura is just ahead of the rest of the world. But hey, if you like it, who cares what others think? Not sure you really do like it though as you have made reference to changing it to some sort, unless it grew on you. If it means anything, the rear of the new RL is one of the best out there. So put some NOS on the car so that nobody can see the front.

 

I can't say a lot of people get to pass me, and when they view my front from the back, they are hit with 4 HIDs. I think there are no complaints.

And yes, I think the front on the RL looks good. TL is worse. My personal is the Audi.

But honestly, the new CTS front kicks @$$.

 

 

Better, wonder if just the top part chromed in that pic would look even better

 

.

 

^ holy.......

You NEED to paint the grille... And I think a matching red would be the winner. but even that black can be good too if done RIGHT. I'd leave the back alone.. but I see where you're goin since the back part would really be the only chrome, well that and the lower sides....

Oh, and not a fan of gold badges I hate seein that trash unless you're goin for a gold type look with the red.....

BTW, Audi or BMW grille wins hands down... LS grille is pretty f'n baller too..... After my RL grille of course.

 

I definately like the paint to match idea front and back.

 

i don't think you should include a c-class in the camparo, you need to find a red E350.

 

ok well i couldnt find a bright red..so shoot me!

 

yay, nay, ghey?

 

i think those look sick.....you should get em powdercoat them gold and get gold emblems do sumthin a little different, to be honest i think they look sick regardless of the color

 

Can you get those A-Spec wheels for your 09? Wait.. I think they got 19" now??

 

I am checking out the 18"s as they match the stock size.

19" is not a good size tire wise and I would like to be able to keep my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S as I got a good deal on em and it's an excellent tire.

Either way, I am not close to being able to afford new rims...just thinking out loud.

 

Gold wheels? On a luxury sedan? I think i have to disagree as this is no WRX trying to be RickyRacer here. Its tough to do something with that grill though im with most that say the body color looks to be one of the better options.

 

I don't know if anyone noticed that Acura tied BMW for 3rd place grill wise.

you never know how it looks until you see it iv'e seen gold a-specs before they look good, just thinking out loud...... and i don't understand what makes it ricer.....but everyone is entitled to their own opinion

 

I believe the best use of Acura beak is on the upcoming ZDX and mmc for the RDX

 

I was surprised by the outcome myself.

 

I'm surprised the Ford grill made MB the #1 on that poll...
