i really wish the front bumper looked like...

The concept TL, I understand this would have made it look even more like the TSX, but the third opening in the middle looks so much nicer than that ACURA stamp we have on that filled portion

I totally agree with you dude. THe concept front lower air damp or lower bumper looks 100 times better than the one we have. Don't know why they did not go with the concept car. Personally...I think the concept looks a bit sharper and sportier than the one we all have. What do you all think???

I disagree........the bumpers we have fit the car. That bumper looks like everything else. No sense of style in that look!

I don't like the concept bumper either, sorry. I like the production bumper and I don't see how it looks like the TSX. The TSX front and rear bumpers are two of the few things that are noticably different from the TL.

I think Ron Jon is designing the concept body kit, or at least his take on it, for the 04TL. Not sure if it will go into production, as he is currently focusing on his rims, but the body kits could be nice if thats what you like.

http://ronjonwheels.com/vehicles.html (check out the body kit designs on the bottom)

I think the first 3 body kit pics are the same kit, front, side, and back, and I really love every part of it. The front could use a bit of work, but I'd buy it if it came like that.

Most states require front plates anyway, so for most people, they'd never see that portion of the front.

I think Acura made the right decision to go with our current bumper but these side mirrors and the lack of conventional windshield wipers were interesting. Not sure about they're efficiency though.

I don't think the configuration of the air dam makes that much difference, but I do like the camera-based alternate to the exterior rear view mirrors. Much safer and will reduce wind noise.
