How the a-spec should look

I'm about to go from a RSX to a TL A-spec but I dont like the front lip it looks unfinished so I decided to see what it would look like if they did it right. This is just a quick ms paint nothing professional as you can see on the headlight (didnt want to wast time but its gotta be blacked out) but doesnt that look Sik? I think ill try doing some kind of bondo add-on or something. To whoever that TL belongs to Good job, thats the coolest one I could find in my opinion. talk about SLAMMMED

not bad, but it's not as agressive, IMO.

If you want that extra extension on the aspec lip, you should think about ua6specs carbon fiber aspec add-on.

I think it would make a bigger difference on a normal un-slammed TL plus it would look better if it were real. You could even keep that fang look and just make the lip with the lighter grey I just smudged it to make it look more realistic. There is a real shortage of bodykit/lip options for the TL unlike my RSX I can understand it though its a more mature market which is the reason im leaving the RSX behind. I hope I dont miss my 8500 redline 230 whp dyno tuned beast too much.

not feeling the head lights at all, original ones look better. Though i like the upgrade from my last car, also a high rev 07 S2000, getting too old to drive it :p

The "fangs" on the A-spec front lip are aerodynamicaly functional (at least that's what i read). The original looks better IMO.

I like it. We need more options for lip kits.

Seems we fell into a norm too long ago of "Drop it, ASPEC, wheels"
Wheels are just about all that seperates TLs now.

I like what you're idea on the front lip, I'm thinking the same way. I want it the same way you photo'edited that, well slightly different.

On an anthracite I like the amber corner's better.

I don't like the ride height though I don't like the tires to be tucked.

Original: hot & unique
Proposed: good, but too typical.
Also, don't forget - the slight notch in the original gives you additional clearance.

Someone did do that lip. I forgot who. And as for all you people who think that only wheels separate our TLs....I beg to differ!

The Original makes it sporty and agressive.... the rest of them here make the TL look like a big BoX
