Those are two separate things. You will have to get the bumper replaced. Which kit to get depends on your taste. The factory kit is more classic while the WW kit is more aggresive/sporty. Or you can always mix and match.

OEM is the cleanest looking one....but if you have cash and you want to go nuts, get the Value Sports kit......ValueTL has it and it looks great!

The WW and ACURA kits are add ons, not full bumper replacments. You get a front lower lip, side skirts, and a rear lower lip. The lips just attach to the bottom of your bumper. The Value kit however is a full bumper replacement and be prepared to spend some bucks $$$$. We can get you the OEM Acura front bumper for less then what the dealerships charge, so if you need one let me know.

Crzy Acura, yes those are Dronnell's. 19" type II
BDI, sorry I missed you!
Vic, how are you? You are still leading the pack I can see!
Shyne, I am actually working on producing my grill for the general market, you guys will get first dibs of course, The retail should be around $150-$180 about $100 to all you TL guys, not sure of a completion date, Would you guys be interested?
let me know your thoughts. I might need pre-orders like the gauges, however it shouldn't take as long.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. as for me I have just been busy working and really only had time to read instead of post. I have been trying to come up with some new ideas, I have finished the custom two-tone interior. Better pics will be up shortly. If all goes well my Air-ride suspension should be in and completed by the end of this weekend. Of course I will post pics.

Ill send you a 100$ right now, just to say I was tha first to buy it...Im sure many others would follow...See my grill is just gutter guard that I painted black...I actually put it behind those lower crosses and held it tight with black cable ties...Its a clean job, but it just doesnt stand out like that does...It really didnt stand out when it was just silver either...If I cut out the crosses, support would be my main concern...Did you experience any problems with the bumper after you cut those out??? Thanx in advance...Shyne

Shyne,

I'm not sure what you are asking about support? If you are asking does the bumper flap around in the wind, definately not. It is as firm as it was before.
As for the grills, like I said it is still in the early stages, The first batch will be for the 99-01TL & CL. I can't take any orders yet, I will probably discuss this with TIM and see if he wants to just make them accesible on the site. Regardless I will se to it that you receive the first one!
