$4, 5minutes Aesthetic mod
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.

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 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.

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.

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.
