New toy for the TL (4 pics)
So, I bought the OEM lip kit for my TL. Cost me about 800 bucks, which is a hell of a deal seeing as Acura sells it for about 1250-1300. Let me know what you guys think...

Just a reminder what it looked like before...



and now...

I remember when I just joined Acurazine, one of the first threads that I've read was the resurrection of your car. It had to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable threads that I've ever read.

You did a great job with the car

Hey very nice build and clean rolling shots. I also looked at the photography link in your sig and on the opening page "moments" is spelled "momments". Just a heads up if that's your personal business site.
