I just got my car a little over a month, I'm not sure if this is normal but you can see through the lower grill of my car to the inside of my bumper and its its white..

This pisses me off!

I tried searching for DIY or something but couldn't find anything..

Ill post pics tom.

Help with ideas, please.

 

Sounds like the car was sprayed with the bumber on the car. There are 2 black air deflectors that cover about 75% of the opening from the fender side in, so if they are white, the car was sprayed. Remove the grille assemblies and spray them trim black, might help.

 

What year TL? 04-06, might be a good time to customize and install the 03-05 Accord bumper fogs and spray the rest with the aforementioned black trim paint.

The grills on his car are black its just whats behind it is white..

 

Exactly...

 

I think that is normal...
You see my SSM behind the grille.

 

I understood that...I guess I meant since he'll have to pull the grills out to paint behind it anyway, might as well throw the fogs in. make sure it's not normal though...if it is you might be pissed to have to remove black spray paint from there. I can't help cause my car is black to begin with.

PS...after MONTHS of having my car I realized that the lip on the rear bumper that gets covered when the trunk closes, has a twist upward toward the center. I thought I effed it up upon installing the tails. Had to check with a neighbor to see his TL's to realize it was normal and put my mind at ease.

 

I have a white TL.. it is not supposed to be painted.. the body man who painted the bumper didnt tape it off.. i agree with rockstar.. get the accord fogs! we both jsut did the mod and we both love it!

 

Fo sho!
And while he's in there..a little spritz of black paint on that lower part and he's back to stock looking. Perfect!

 

You guys both live in south FLA? sick! how long was the install? mind giving me help when i buy them?

 

Sorry for using the pic, hope owner doesn't mind
grabbed this from skwatoe's thread

seems normal to me.

 

It's normal only when the bumper is repainted and the air deflectors aren't taped off properly. Try and buy the air delector from Acura with a body color, they don't exist.

 

Thats how mine looks man -_-

You guys recommend any solution?

I was thinking of getting the 07 type S bumper but i havent even searched if it even worked..

 

You can be unique and white it out completely.

 

Ummm...it looks whited out completely. I'll give whatever tips I can to help you install them!

Mine, more or less, looks the same. But in SSM. The front bumper has not been repainted.
If by air deflector you mean the black plastic piece that deflects air into the radiator [along with the two winglets]--those are black for me.
I don't think OP has an issue with the deflectors---I think those are attached to the radiator support anyways.

 

Since I had to take the bumper off today to put my CAI, I decided to fix this annoying lower grill issue, I'll post up the pics later tonight

BTW, the intake sounds MEAN!!

 

alright Mig First mod down...!!

 

congrats kidd lookings sikk.
