body kit! do it! ignore the nay sayers. there's too many lips on here.

if you're talking full on body kit, the front end of the 99-01 tl is different than the 02-03. the late models have a round part in the headlight, different hood, fenders, and obviously front bumper

um, the only real bodykits available are sarona, value sports, and mugen front bumper. Seeing as to mugen is discontinued and value sports is near impossible to find...that leaves sarona. big

but to answer your question, the sides and rear of all 2nd gen TLs are the same. the front would be different.

Um the Mugen is not a body kit. It's an add-on to the existing bumper.

value kit is not the only kit out there. there are other japanese companies out there that makes body kits, its just the matter of if you want to spend the money and wait like half a year for it to arrive on your door step.

holy crap dude...

yea, the fronts not gonna fit...

sides and rear will. and you can get those sides and rear from an ACTUAL dealer..

sides at almost any Acura dealer. jus call them to order one for you.
Rear at Wings West. get it painted from a shop or something.
for the front. uh.. good luck?

really hard to read what you said and understand.

you can get OEM SIDES from most ACURA DEALERS or the BLACK MARKET

for the WW REAR, you can try any WINGS WEST dealers or call them or even the BLACK MARKET.

for the OEM FRONT. anything from the 1999-2001 will fit.
however, WW FRONT can be order from WINGS WEST. you can order them together and WW front fits 99-03 models.

ACURA dealer cannot order WINGS WEST rear for you.

bah, i really wanted to see a nicely done TL with a body kit, guess it wont happen

lip kits are nice, the OEM ones go on the black market every now and then for cheap, usually painted too. you'll find a harder time at the dealerships but some will have them. if you're not losing any money on a front and side + wings west rear, go that route. the WW fills out the rear much nicer vs the skimpy oem rear lip
