checked out Mugen's site, after seeing the SEMA pics, sure enough, Mugen has aftermarket parts for the TL coming soon. Only thing I like is the grill...

WOW!!!

There is a major improvement


"improvement efficiency of ラジエター"

DAMN ITS ラジエター!!!

WHOA!@

 

translation wasn't perfect

i do wonder how many HP ラジエター will add thought

 

Damn right its a big improvement...

Thanks cTLgo.

 

Thanks for the info, Great Pics!

 

Not crazy about the wheels. At least now we have an option to have fogs where they belong. Nice find.

 

-- The front bumper is a maybe at this point.

 

Everyone should recognize that ラジエター is an aero-drag efficiency, it will not "add" any HP .. (although it may reduce some lost at the front wheels).

 

The grill is NICE and clean. Me like.

 

I LIKE the exhaust. That may be a mod that can add HP's.

 

That TL needs 3 things:

1.) A bit more of a drop
2.) Different rims (they do not match well to the TL style).
3.) LOOSING THAT HORRID SPOILER!

But, thankfully companies like Comptech and Mugen want to produce stuff for the 3rd gen TL. Guess they see we have a good community and that there is some money to be made off us!! A defininte.......

 

The wheels make the TL look like a Cady CTS to me. Not very Acura like. Even though the TL is built in Amercia I think it should still have a import look. I, however like the CTS (V) ever since I saw it racing in the Grand AM Cup @ Barber Motorsports Park a few weeks ago. It took flew past several 911 GTS cars to finish second.

 

i dont know what u guys are smoking but mugen-power.com have an english version

here it is u http://mugen-power.com/topics/mugen-...n20041102.html

 

ラジエター = cooling radiator

if u go to http://mugen-power.com/ sroll to bottom and on left sade it says ENGLISH

 

i'm in third year japanese it translates to "radiator"

*edit* darn...i post too slow

 

come again my friend

 

play again

 

I was looking for the info about this car, but came up empty. Thanks for sharing. Nice find!

 

ok

 

Thanks, noob for letting us know on which SADE we could find the English version.

BTW, I thought that car looked great, especially with the lights in the lower bumper. Also, I cannot believe you did not say you would hit it.

You must not be feeling well today.

 

cuz i'm not feeling the body kit nor the wing, only the grille which when its available

 

sure, choose english if you want it easy... some of us appreciate the skill of translation!! :P

 

wish they could come up with better wheels. I had the old 15inch for my CRX plus the mugen body kit.

 

I hope they put that grill out. I'd buy it in a second.

 

factory body kit > mugen body kit

 

"ラジエター" is ra-ji-e-ta. it means "radiator."

 

At first glance i thought it was a riced out tsx.

 

except for the grill .. whole car looks cheap/cheesey now ..... kinda like pontiac ( which is a nice car) but just hate the styling ... super cheesey wing .. . I guess they forgot the carbon fiber hood off ebay .. to complete the package

 

it might not fit the tastes of everyone but i'm glad more companies are willing to release kits and mods for the tl....it's about time

 

the wheels are nice they just dont fit the TL well. look at the mugen RL, it has the same wheels and they look awesome.

 

wow....
that's sweet....the exhaust is much better than comptech....the body kit looks sweet
is the rear body kit add-on?....
overall great...
when can we buy?....i really want the exahust...MY GOD that's great..

 

Eventhough I have the factory kit, I wouldn't really say that factory > Mugen. They both have their own unique qualities that set them apart. This Mugen kit gives it that even more sportier athletic look with a little softness. The factory kit is alittle more edgier and aggressive. I like them both. If I were to pick one over the other, it would be the factory with the Mugen grill. I do like the Mugen wing compared to the factory wing but I still prefer the lid spoiler. I kinda like the Mugen exhaust too. Only thing that prevents me from choosing the Mugen kit outright is that it looks a little happy, as in kinda looks like it's smiling whereas the stock air scoops are straight and rectangular looking like it's mad. I think if they had not made it curve up in the ends it would be perfect. Anyway, I hope they sell that grill separately as the grill is the one part of the car that I'm not too keen on. I like the previous TL's grill much better.

 

finaly a set of fog lights.... now on to make our oem fogs, drls, and have the new fogs go through the fog light switch.

 

i think its the color of the car that kills the body kit.. maybe if it was on an anthracite or white TL it would give it that more aggressive look.. IMO

 

or SSM

 

It looks like the exhaust might not fit/look right without the Mugen bodykit. It looks like a double, not a single.

It is nice to have another choice besides the Comptech though.
