This has to be the best way to add 38whp!!!

not adding any power obviously but this guy thought a jumbo wing spoiler made it look faster, this person actually took the time to buy and install this fugly peice of plastic on their tl...i feel so sorry for it.

Oh crap...this is that same one that was being advertised around the Net a while back. The "sales" picture had a gray gel coat on the spoiler to show that it was "paint ready", but I never thought I'd actually see that someone put the thing on their car and went to the trouble of color matching it. Very unfortunate.

Edited to add:

Just found it from before: https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...1&postcount=28

actually, this guy has the trifecta going on. Lip spoiler, roof spoiler, and Ultimate wing spoiler. The down force this car is generating must be unbelieveable!

Yup, how stupid huh?

No,no,no, guys this isn't a spoiler! It's like his mini snow plow. He attaches up front or in the rear. Clean get away, and never gets stuck! That's just were he puts it when it's not in use. You guys got it all wrong! Finally a useful mod! And noooo I'm not being arrogant!! Or maybe I am

More and more people with bad taste are getting access to a once-nice car when they're being sold for cheap with high-mileage.

So congrats to him. The mudflaps and mis-matched backup sensors are a nice touch too.

He probably needs them. Bet he can't see anything with that giant wing there.


Saw this wing on ebay last night and had a wtf moment when I saw this.

I think you guys are all a bit confused here. Makes sense, Acura has kept it under wraps. That's the new prototype "X-TL SuperLev". The new acura that flies.
