I recently purchased this 1999 TL from an auction. It was hit in the front end but no engine damage, it was an easy fix. She had 152k miles, now about to hit 154k, still running perfectly smooth and no problems at all. And yes, I am aware that I am still missing a front lip, that is how I purchased it, I plan on getting one soon as soon as i find one. I'm just trying to say hello to all the forum members as a new owner.

Nice, It's a good thing it already came with Type S rims.

What I would do: Drop, replace side skirts to the Acura aero side skirts. And get the hard to get front lip from Acura as well. Keep that rear lip.

it actually looked like someone was modding that TL already......

It needs the front lip to match the rocker panels and rear bumper. Without it now it doesn't match well with the rest of the car.

I really wonder what the hell was wings west thinking when they made the fins on the frontlip and outterspace side skirts....0_O

great job getting it fixed up and running. but yeah.. i agree with everyone else.. replace side skirts with oem and get the front lip. also.. i realized your WW rear lip is saggin lower than normal.

glad you have the tl-s stockies. they're nice. keep them if you don't plan on getting rims for awhile.

Nice good find, now the hunt begins on that infamous OEM front lip. Good luck

thank you everyone. Yes, the drivers side headlight is OEM that i purchased and passenger was already cleared, but i am going to replace it with another OEM. Yes, the previous owner already put the 02-03 tails and type-s rims, i plan on keeping those for now. Hopefully i can soon find the front lip and finish off the kit, and i'll have to see about getting different sideskirts, but in person they actually are pretty decent so i'm fine for now
