ED?

A spec and Versus body kit also. There is also eBay kits but that's a big no.

Why would you want another body kit anyways? The body kits available should be enough for any enthusiast.

Extreme Dimensions! I like the A spec but I have a problem with wanting to stand out. Also, what are some sites I can see these kits?
Thanks man!

here's my logic: if you want to stand out, then you SHOULDN'T have a body kit (except something factory or relatively subtle and not in your face, like A-spec)... it's going to turn nice into rice. you'll blend right in with all the civics and scions with cheap mods and big mouth body kits that are cracked and looks like .

but to each his own (i used to be 19, so i've been in those shoes), depends on who you want to "impress".

then go with a Fiero and have it rebodied with a kit. I'd go V6 though because it not only needs to look fast, but go fast.

You can make your car stand out without putting some tacky body kit on it.

I would go for the A-Spec kit. It's an OEM part that's already painted and has all of the stuff needed to install it.

If that's not "different" enough for you, look into the Ron Jon Body Kit. A few members have it. It's pricey compared to the A-Spec kit but I think you get your money's worth.

you dont wanna stand out in a bad way. there are many other ways to stand out than a body/lip kit.

personally to me, wheels say a lot more about a car/driver than the body kit and have a lot more personal feel to them

-First if u rice the shit out of a TL then ur going to get the WTF look,
-Second if u want to stand out on a TL get the A-Spec kit, nice set of wheels and some coils...
-Third, enjoy the car its one of the best lineups in Acura...

Just remember keep it nice and simple not Ugly & Terrifying but hey its ur car do w/e the hell u want...

Thats my

No its not my first car, just the first car with putting my time into and making it "mine". but i agree with all of you on the Aspec idea. I never once had any intentions on making it a ricer cause I absolutely HATE ricers. I was just asking if there were any other options cause im new to the acura world.

I'm sorry but that looks silly. Completely unfinished with obvious cut edges at the openings. That carbon duct in the upper right of the bumper looks all wrong (like it's sagging in the middle top). Plus it's not feeding the proper way a duct should feed (cross section should increase after the opening to slow incoming air). And the lines at the fender don't meet up (which is always an issue with aftermarket parts). OEM or nuthin.

Those things seem cool in a magazine where you cannot see them up close and 1st hand. After many years of car-shows, I know to steer clear.

Incorrect, that's a Versus front bumper. The side skirts and rear lip are Type-S A-Spec.
