i always liked the chrome line on the typeS bumper so tried something new to make it look similar. not sure if others feel the same too, but i think chrome lines make tl look lower.

was planning to use thinner chrome strips but couldn't find any locally. most used to sell a roll of chrome strips but none carries them anymore. so i used door guards instead.

 

Good job man i think it looks way better!

 

It's ok. Probably looks better in person. It does flow, though

 

damn, beat me to the punch. I was planning on doing that exact same thing although it probably looks better on your car since I have a whole "darK' theme going on in the front.

 

haha.. you were too busy with the wheels. i'm gonna redo them once i find narrower strips. wanted the strips right on the middle where the grooves are but these door guards are too wide to fit in.

 

looks good keep it on!

 

I like it!!

 

so.... where did you put it??

 

^^probably can't see the pic at work. Stupid web-sense.

 

I can't see it either...well I can see the picture, but I can't see where you installed the chrome?

 

to the left and right of the acura emblem... i think

 

maybe its too oem like??

 

looks great. !!!!

 

Ooooohhhhhh......

I thought those came on there stock...haha

 

:thief: I'm jacking your idea, I hated losing my chrome strip's. Very nice and great idea.......

 

Well, they do on the Type-S.


Maybe not on the TL-S A-Spec? So you added them back?

 

funny how people couldnt tell. i liked the chrome on the tl but didnt like how the type s front lip removed it. good job

 

i gotta see how this looks.....

 

Looks clean like it came from the factory.

 

Clean.

 

acura should've kept the chorme strips on the aspec kit like the base bumper.
thought about doing this after i installed the aspec lip but it took 1.5 years to actually do it

 

you should do one too

 

Good call Mink...nice job.

 

good job!

 

Ahh, I didn't realize that you remove that for the A-spec front. Now that I look at some other TL-S with A-Specs, it does look like something is missing without the chrome strip.

 

is right...I thought you put it on either side of the Acura symbol. So I'm guessing those are the Accord fogs. Ok then, looks good, like the Type S fogs.

EDIT: ok, after reading some more, I'm confused. You have a Type S...the fogs come with the chrome strips...why would you have to add them?

 

I Posted about the same thing not to long ago... i couldn't find those anywhere...

 

I was wondering the same thing. If you read the installation instructions for the TL-S front lip, it requires that you remove the original lower grills and use theones that come witht he lip. The ones that come with the lip do not have any chrome.

 

I've had this on my car for months

Looks good though

 

The TL-S lip comes with a new/different set of lower grilles? Huh...you learn something new everyday. Maybe the new ones are chrome-less in an attempt to look more sporty . Regardless, it looks good (now that I know what you did ).

 

It doesn't really come with a new set of grilles... it's just a plastic black bar (where he mounted the strips onto). That's all it is. And that plastic black bar doesn't have the chrome, this piece goes right on top of where the original grill with chrome bar was.

 

found my own picture by googling...

anyways here's a good comparo




left is typeS with aspec kit. right is typeS without aspec kit

 

looks nice

 

I wanted to do this, but couldn't find a small chrome strip I liked. I even looked at using the OEM chrome strips that come with the TL, but they wouldn't fit right.

 

i got the chrome strips redone with thinner ones. you can find them in auto part stores. i got mine from autozone fyi.

you can look at the newer strips in here

i think it looks real good..nice and clean finish

 

it's something that can easily be done with vinyl.... pics to come soon!

nice idea!
