A slight Customize job

I don't care for the "clutter" on the back deck of the TL, so I "deleted" the TL and the ACURA, and will get rid of the Logo later in the week. gives a cleaner look




on the front, I don't like the horizontal lines in the lower grill so before I do anything drastic, I just put electrician's tape on them to see how it looks blacked out.




Comments welcomed, please.

You have an old school CA plate

I like how the TL looks without all the emblems on there. Removing the "A" will be tougher because there are two holes where it is mounted in the trunk.

Not a fan of debadging on the TL...and I think you should leave the chrome trim in the front by the foglamps, definitely looks better with it

And I'd like to add that I like the front end without the chrome. The less flashy the better.

Those who have the chrome strip don't want it. Those who don't have, want. As with every other change on the facelift. (DRLs as another example) Go figure.

Nah Rocky, DRL's eat rhino anus!

I agree with subby: Leave the back like that (debadge, but don't take off the "A"), and do the front like that (I did, albeit for real)! Looks good!

looks good, but dont remove the rear 'A' unless you plan on going to a bodyshop to have the holes filled.


EDIT: I just saw subinf posted that as well....

Thanks for the heads up !! I was going to pry it off today like i did the other ones, and would have had an unpleasant surprise !!

How the hell can you fill up those holes ???????????????

take it to a body shop and they will put filler in the holes but then you need it to be painted. Not worth it IMO.

Your car looks great so far, if anything you should see if you could fix the front grill and make it have that floating "A" effect.

Looks good. Is it just me or are you missing the plugs for the front bumper license plate mounting screws?
