You're so wrong, these people would rather tape 4 $100 bills on their bumper so people know they got money.

Dude, the TL isn't an expensive car. A new Toyota Echo or many new econoboxes cost just as much as the majority of TLs here.

The main thing people hate on is that it's cheap, honestly who cares? If you have so much money that you don't care how much things cost, send some over to me.

Just for the record, I don't have this lip on my car so it's not like I'm defending it because I have one.

DUDE, I know, I own one. The majority of the TL's range from 10-20k. Thats still a pretty decent car, especially for one that is 5 or so years old. My point is, if your going to buy a nice car, mod it nicely. If youre going to buy a cheap honda civic, you can mod it cheaply. If you buy an m6, your not going to put a 1k exhaust on it are you? no, youre going to get one thats 5k. Everything is proportional in my mind.

So as long as its a "proportional" priced mod it must be a good mod, noted. On to the bigger issue here, why is there not a carbon fiber add-on lip for the type-s a-spec?

that doesnt always hold true, but most of the time you get what you pay for.

Garage worthy because it is a part you buy from Home Depot for your garage and nothing more. When did we start driving Kia's and add all the plastic rubber crap we could find onto our cars? This is an Acura TL right? Think about it!

I'd be willing to bet that if there was a lip made of abs plastic for the tl that looked exactly like the hd lip everyone in here would love it.
