Check out new TL concept pics...

Temple of VTEC has some new photos of a TL concept car being shown at the Atlanta car show this weekend. Here's the link:

http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=210963


My $.02 worth:

I like the tail lights
I don't like the built-in lip in the trunk lid
I don't like the re-shaped exhaust tips
I do like the overall differences in the bumper lines

What do you guys think?

Is the concept TL the same color as the production AM? In the pics the concept looks so much more "metallicly" Im thinking of doing my headlights just like that too, what do you guys think about on SSM? from my observation the paint in the housing doesn't look like a flat black but rather a dark bronze like in the Nissan Altima.. any idea's?

thats not a concept tl...its just the concept for a new a-spec kit, one that will likely never be produced

Back is ok, front is ugly, if this was suppose to be the next generation TL, they would not have my business.

Thumbs down

Those pics are not of a concept car. They are just "after-marketed" stock third gen TLs.

yes they are, that is the a-spec concept vehicle. Custom wheels designed specifically for that vehicle, concept trunk, taillights, headlights, grilles, interior, the works buddy...

not to mention those brakes... everything was done by acura for that car

Paint is awsome

Obviously some one at Acura can get the paint on the bumpers to match the body of the car, even with the shade changing Anthracite Metallic. I think that is the same AM color in production. Under fluorescent lighting, my AM looks darker in color.

Being a concept car, the bumpers dont have to be the typical plastic bumper. Which means they could easily be the same alloy as the rest of the car, and therefore the same color.
