NOT an Acura TL hood....
from the looks of it...I don't think it will fit our cars. It sort of looks like a hood for an older bmw (more boxy). If you look at the TL hood, it is actually more trapezoidal-shaped and does not cover the headlight housing (the front fenders cover the top of the headlights instead).

(I just googled "Acura TL" for a picture, so I'm sorry if this is someone's picture and doesn't want it up)
However, in the picture of that CF hood, the hood extends across both headlights and is more square-shaped, so I doubt it'll work for the TL.

Nope, but I would only buy a hood from VIS. It's $700, but at least you know it's a trusted brand. It's double sided carbon fiber, etc. etc. etc.

a cheap CF hood can be a nightmare. Bad grade carbon, cut instead of rolled edges, the edges dont line up with the fenders and/or bumper and bad sealant and the hood has to be redone.
this is what happened when they made a limited number of hoods fot the 1st gen CL's back in the day, they were a headache.
