Anyone with Side Grill like M3 and M5?

Did anyone install a side girl on their tl like the ones on M3 and M5? I want to get one with type s emblem instead of the M emblem. Would it look ugly?

What are you talking about? Are you talking about the cheap looking Autozone stick ons? If so, you can't be serious right?

But if you're talking about what an M3 or M5 has, those are fully functional, meaning the vent runs all the way to the engine bay. Are you going to cut your fenders and uni-body all the way to the engine to achieve this air flow? I would think not as well.

Leave your car the way it was meant to be. Let BMW owners drive theirs the way they were meant to be.

And let the kids with the Civics and those with Ugly Chevy Avalanche's with 24" chrome rims stick on these retarded looking "port holes" so the rest of us can laugh at them.

Go outside and look at your car. It is an Acura, not a BMW....

and I really hope you are not talking about those $20 stick on things from auto zone
wait....I think some of the newer buicks have them, maybe you should buy one of those

i don't know why those aren't dealer options because really, someone might see your un-stickered luxury SUV on the way to autozone and there goes your street cred...

Vents on BMWs and AMs, port holes on Buicks, and none of the above on Acuras.

Class dismissed.

That's a negative ghost rider. It's already been said enough, so I'll just leave it simple. That is all.

OK, we all get the picture... that's a NO

BUT, if you ever do implement a use for it, where it is actually used to draw air or cool off engine bay, that may work out for you better....

I've seen plenty of generic cars with those fake stick ons...and I laugh every time..

Install a supercharger on your TL At least you can wipe the stupid smile on my face when you blow by me, lol.
