Not bad. Looks pretty custom. Not a huuuuge fan of that rear chin spoiler, but to each his own.

The kit is from Versus Motorsports and is actually just the front bumper. It is a very rare kit and is only made in batches of 10... Been on a waiting list for almost 2 years now for one.

i've read all about that car and seen numerous threads on it.

doesnt mean it magically looks better to me

you can have respect for the work put into something (which i do) and not have to hug its nuts at the same time.

it could have AWD and 1000 hp.. its still not visually pleasing to me.

I love the car but the rear difusser thing and the mirror has to go.

Besides that, that piping and intercooler sticking out in the front is just pure sex!

I think the OP is his old car.

He got a new one, a 6-speed, and swapped pretty much everything over to it; including a navi conversion.






First time I saw pics, I didn't think it was even a TL.

In person, overall, it's a good looking car.

How you know? You lifted the hood already? The bodykit is not that bad and is always good to see something besides the aspec kit. The only thing I don't like is the black lower parts of the kit. Maybe if they would be removed it will look more decent to some people.

I sense a de-railing of this thread...

FWIW, Accuratein probably thinks function over form. The rear diffuser, canards, tiny mirrors, all point to two things: decreased air resistance and downforce. He chooses his parts to perform, not for looks (I am the opposite!)

haven't been on A-zine that long, but I sure as hell re-read the issue of Honda Tuning with ACCURATEin's TL about once a month just cuz the car is sick. I'm not huggin his nuts, but his car is nicely done and has a lot of time and effort in it. Now if he'd only paint it AM then it'd be win win in my book... lol

if you look at the front it looks like it either has a n SC or Turbo.. I like it but the gray parts detract from it for me.. just my 2 cents... and for those saying "ew" I imagine you run away from worms and spiders as well.. cause that is what my niece says when she sees a bug

This car is Nice and If your a Honda Fan you can learn to appreciate it. Acura TLs don't have a lot of Bodykits and this guy has essentially Pulled it off Nicely. It looks like a Bad Ass Race Car
