1. There are 2 kits out for the TL already; A-Spec & RJ

2. TL is not available in Japan - so they won't be making many aftermarket parts for the TL. It's a North America exclusive model.

welcome to the forum, noob.

The side skirts are good IMO, rear bumper so so. Were you able to get in contact with them? Any word on if it will ever be made??

The front is sexy, especially the fog lights down on the bumper. I want fog lights! stupid canadian TLs only get DRLs. The one thing I really want for the TL is bright yellow fogs down under, too bad there's only been a few ppl who tried to do it and it seems complicated. Also, the rear wing and lip combiniation is pretty cool as well..

Haha accuratein, and for a second i thought you were going to post a picture of the red roja tl that you like so much....

yeah mugen needs to make it, lets see if we can get it done, between the two of us, they could probably work something out if we start a group buy. those xenon fogs are tight as hell too

If things go well, there will be a 3rd (4th if you count Mugen) kit coming to market in the next couple months.


More details (and better photos ) once we step up to vendor status.

Flanagan: Can't see much from that teaser (obviously)...let us know when it does come out...

So far I like the options out there. A-Spec, RonJon...good stuff.

I agree, the mugen bumper wouldn't look so bad if it had the center airdamn. I wish the TL had the center airdamn just like the concept car did. Would have been tons better.

Unfortunately we don't have the kind of budget to allow us to test a center opening. Since the TL is a "bottom breather", adding a center opening could conceivably interfere with the proper airflow to the radiator (high and low pressure zones, etc). Then again, it could also drastically improve airflow.

Anyone wanna cut a giant hole in their stock front bumper cover to see how it works?

Now I understand, to each his own, so maybe one day someone will make a kit for you guys with a large front air dam...

Talking The Customer Is Always Right

Wait, so everyone wants a center opening?

How much do you want it? "I'll put $1000 deposit down" or "I'll pay for the tooling however much it costs because I can't live without it"

I'll start reworking on some old designs I have laying around with a center opening and see what you guys think. With the permission of the powers that be, I'll post them up for critique. The worst thing we can possibly do is put out a design I *think* everyone will like, versus one I *know* everyone likes.

feeler posts are ok, but outright selling posts are not, unless you are a vendor, if you have a design you would like us to critique, that is alright, but you cannot sell the kit until you talk to Astroboy, that being said, post some pics!

Hold on there buddy...I like minimal chrome, ie. wheels...I do not like chrome accents (see your TSX pic or the bumper of a 300C)...and there is a big difference between a tasteful wheel design in chrome and a tacky wheel in chrome (or anything else). The Devotions would look good all chrome, this does not.

You know, I'm starting to wonder about you (and a few others)...no chrome wheels, giant gaping holes in the front bumper... Next you'll say you like 3 foot wings and fart cans...

As for me, I'll take my

On the fence about the wing...would like to see it painted and from a couple of other angles...the kit's borderline being able to get into the 3rd edition of a famous movie about car racing...
