I would take that to get repainted. Everything really is mismatched. The kit it self is nice though.

I'd like to see more pics but different angles. From what I see, it's pretty clean. Let's see more.

Looks really good, but the rear is sagging, lower the front, or raise the rear a little, it doesn't look good.

thanx for all the input guys!


i know the paint is mismatched, its ok cuz the kit was free so im not going to complain
its a daily driver in nyc so because of that fact the car looks awesome! lol


i'll get more pics as soon as i get a chance

blacktsx, i got the RV6 V3 jpipe 3 days after honda day i needed to change it really bad the old one was shot!

and i measured the height the car is exactly the same height on front and rear
and i have springs instead of coils so theres no changing the height


for being so low it rides good in nyc!

looks good... although, not a fan of the top of the rear wheels tucked in under the fender. looks is has a full diaper. i'm not a drop pro, but that just doesn't look right to me.

Man, I really am a fan of the RonJon equipment, so I'm liking the wheels and Aero Kit. The drop looks great with the RonJon accessories. I've not see a wing spoiler on a silver TL with RonJon accessories, so congrats on the uniqueness.

Looks clean. Paint looks off though. I hope that's what you're getting painted.

I see a lot of BMWs with their wheels tucked under the fender and i always have the same thought as you. It seems there are many who like that look though.

WTF! where can I get a FREE KIT!

Oh yeah thats the common TL illusion (actually its the same with most cars) the front fender well is higher than the rear fender well. Even though the drop may be an even say 1" all around, the front fender well is higher if you measure from the center top of it to the ground. This is done due to the front wheels turning & the chance of them bottoming out into the fender if ya hit a bump or dip. So uhh yeah. Most of us have to drop the front end an extra half inch to "look" evenly dropped. It doesnt bother me too much, but some people are pretty anal.

have a drunk asshole to make a hole in your front bumper with his hitch when youre parked, then get paid out by insurance.
the next day look on ebay for acura tl ron jon kit
get it for the same price as the insurance payout

there are the steps to getting a free RJ kit
follow them closely

BTW this Ron Jon kit that you got off eBay wouldn't by any chance come from a seller in Virginia?
