First Mud Flap TL?




I think I may be the first to add rally mud flaps to the TL because I can't find examples anywhere else of this.

i mean, they came stock with mud flaps....


and if that's what makes you happy, adding aftermarket mud-flaps, then by all means...be happy.

personally, your addition looks out of place and even quite bad ALMOST comical....but if it makes you happy and protects your sides from mud, then I'm happy for you!

I see that my tastes really suck in comparison to the rest of the forum. Reality is I kinda wish I had a WRX but I'm stuck with this since my dad gave it to me and let's me mod it. I should probably just save money and wait. Everyone seems to hate the wing as well here. It's alright tho

​​​​Still a great car tho.

I perfer the lip spoiler to the pedestal (wing) on the 3G.... However, I perfer the pedestal on a 1G TSX.

It still looks good because it's still OEM!!!

It doesn't matter what we think - if it makes you happy, then that's good enough.

Might look appropriate with the mud flaps... It might give it a "winter warrior" look!

The mud flaps look very functional and I'm sure will help keep your TL clean.........

Might think about doing some rust removal and protection though... Just a suspicion, but the demise of your right rear quarter panel has probably been accelerated if you tapped into the metal right where it's already bubbling.

I also see that you were about 3yrs old when the TL came out so you may not understand what Acura was at that time. Definitely wouldn't have not had OEM options on this lol
Sell me the TL and you can get your DoubleU Are Ex
