Although, come to think of it, it might actually look better than all the other NBP/Bodykit TLs out there.....I'll try to post pics later.

I know exactly how you're feeling man. I had the same reaction when I went to pickup my NBP from dealer after the install. First comment from someone was that the car looked HOT!

I absolutely love my bodykit ... separates your TL from the hundreds of other TL's on the road... makes it very unique in a great way.

I have yet to be able to pull the trigger on the bodykit. I drive a NBP '04, btw. I just don't see it doing that much for the black - especially when I don't want the funky wing spoiler. If I put the lip spoiler, then it really doesn't change anything to me - looks pretty much the same.

The Acura bodykit seems to stand out the most on the white cars. They look sweet and add to the body/profile.

I think it looks great in all colors, but does tend to stand out a tad bit more in white. last week in the evening i saw a nbp on the fwy w/ full a-spec body and some nice 19" rims, the thing looked like a fucking beast!

That's crap, most people would never notice there is anything different about your car, other than the people on this forum. If you enjoy it, that's a good enough reason, but I don't think the factory kits stand out much at all.

Thank goodness your particular opinion on this issue doesn't matter to me! Cheers.

You do not have to wait at all .. Falconi Acura of Las Vegas has the bodykit for all TL's for a similar or lower price. As for Scott in parts, he'll take care of you.

It's a differentiator!

Before I knew much about TLs, I used to see them on the way to work last year. The ones that caught my eye were the TLs with the body kit. Then I realized that the other cars that look like the ones I like are also TLs, but are stock.

Sure it's a matter of preference, but the kit makes a BIG difference!

Did you order it in your color or did you have to get it painted?

They come painted already. Just choose your factory color.

Can you buy the parts a la carte? One at a time?

I just need the rear bumper skirt/lip.
