There are two views to this type of modding. There's the OP, you, and others who think this is the hot shyt which is cool if it's your thing. I, personally, think that taking OEM parts off of one car and mounting them on another is a bastardization of said car. That's like mounting OEM Audi wheels on your car, replacing the Audi emblem with an Acura emblem, and calling it unique.

You can't compare what Ack does to X because Ack isn't adding parts (from other vehicle brands) to the vehicle. He's only making changes to (retrofitting) parts already OEM to the TL. Couple of years ago, I would have considered Angel eyes blasphemous on anything other than a Mercedes or BMW, but now that they've become common place by many car manufacturers, I can only wonder, with the shape of our projector housings, why they didn't come standard.

No matter how clean the outcome may be with this type of modding, his TL is no longer a geniune Acura. But hey, it's obvious X's stance on it is to make his TL different from any other TL which I can dig. No doubt it places in any car show it's in. Just not my (and others) style.

Disclaimer: I'll clarify for others that I know it's not anyone's job to impress me with their modding.

His ride is clean but I'm not impressed with the amount of money invested nor the method of execution. If the money put in the BMW mirrors had been put towards the R&D to make our OEM mirrors power-foldable, that'd be awesome no matter what your view point is.

I'm sure if he posted a car for sale with his typical typing, no one would ever buy it. He must have hired someone who knew how to type
