Not really feelin the NBP lip on you WDP.... but that's just me. Glad I looked into your thread - do those two black bracket looking things in pic #1 & #2 hold the lip on??

I was curious - mine is going to be installed (by me) soon as I was wondering how those bracket things were suppose to go on......and what they are for.


As a side note maybe a WDP lip with the bottom gray section painted gloss black or NBP?

Naaahhhh...not feelin' that one playa! By itself, it ain't hittin', but maybe with the CF hood on it? Hmm...I don't know, you stuck with it now so put some stuff with it, but don't leave it by itself...it ain't flowin' right...it's like asking you why am I here? It's damn sure asking me that!

Really tho...if you wanted Hybrid...shoulda went with a Scion or something, even a Camry, but yeah...it is what it is...so...MOD UP to cover up this one!!!! I hear Ca-Ching!! Sound of your wallet/ATM card gettin' the vapors...

No offense bro, but im really not diggin that at all. it's a bit too overkill.

3rdGenHybrid

yeah i went out on a limb with that....now im stuck buying a CF HOOD....too bad i guess...lol....those first two pics showing two black brackets are really just guards to push against the lip, there's 2 brackets that mount on the inside of the wheel wells, pretty simple to install, screw driver, 3mm/6mm/10mm drill bits to drill the holes for the brackets, clips, and lip...3 screws hold the lip up on the bottom center, 2 factory bolts, 2 clips that come in the kit, 4 that screw into the bracket in the wheel wells, and the rest is 3m double sided tape....took me like 15 mins...if that....but i work at Honda, so im used to puttin on accesories, ...on another note....Honda makes a v6 hybrid accord...basically a TL....not gonna get into the long discussion on why its on there...its in a thread some where....but yeah....i took a chance with the nbp lip....oh well...moving on...

Hey, any word on when the official body change for the TL will drop? Thought I might ask you since you work there and might have heard something. ALso, RWD or AWD a definite?

If you can answer those, this forum will become like an E F Hutton commercial!

It looks ok from head on but from the side it just doesnt flow at all! Like you said if you get a CF hood and some black rims or something it would probably look better.

if you wanna keep that, turn your car into one like accuratein's haha

subinf

Take that off.

05TLRIDER

Sorry man, I'm not feeling it either. I give you credit for going out and trying something different that nobody else has tried yet. It might look better with a CF hood.

If people start ripping on you too much, just tell them that it's a work in progress or something like that.

Sorry but it just doesn't work.

Your car though, so do what you like.

If you want to do this, the sides need to be painted white. The white sides of the lip need to be as low as the center part. Then experiment with either putting silver door molding on your lower grills or mesh down there with the center bars remaining black so there's contrast. I think with a little work, I could look much better.

darksom1

I got faith in you D-O-double gg!! You can do it!!

3rdGenHybrid

yeah i was lookin at it....and head on looks right...im thinking of having our body shop paint from the bottom of the grill to the fender wells......take out some of the black...i dont know about the new body TL, Honda and Acura believe it or not keep their seprate ways.... but the New body accord is gonna drop this summer or fall i think....and its supposed to be a bad ass looking accord....

triton3k

Not crazy about it.

lifetimeofwar

You should def. get the rest of the A-Spec kit NBP to help with the flow. Black rims, CF hood, and ...maybe blacked out head lights.

Then were talking.

my thoughts exactly

MaFreCoLa

Not feelin' it, but I admire the creativity.

leedogg

Did I say that? What was I thinking? I'm already god-like and cant get any better.

brettallica

Like others have said, this needs some work. I'm not closing the book on it just yet...think about the final picture here. I definitely think that you need some other black body components to make it work, though. As it is now, it's not quite right, but I can look at it now and just see it as a work in progress. Keep us posted!

BustedJack

put the red one on I wanna see how it comes out.......

CL Platano

I'm more curious about the VTEC Sticker on the side..

3rdGenHybrid

lol anyone in CT wanna buy a NBP ASPEC LIP?? 300 Installed :lol:

sunny201

This gets me thinkin.. what about a WDP A-Spec lip on a NBP? Anyone have this done yet?
IMO i think it might look better because on the WDP it looks like its missin a bumper (no offense 3rdgenhybrid, its just my opinion), on a NBP it would stick out more and look better. If I had the money I would try it out

darksom1

WARNING:

Any members caught defacing beautiful NBPs with that *gasp* type of modding, shall be:
WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!!!!!

sunny201

LMAO!!!

SteveP66

The only thing that could make the NBP look better is a complete coating of ASM !!

SteveP66

Joking of course.......what is it they say - Don't go gettin your panties in a bunch.....LOL

CL Platano

Fo' Sho LOL

darksom1

LOL! If somebody were to paint my car with that ASM, I would want them to stand right where that little icon guy is standing while I pull off hard!!

SteveP66

Ha ha ha ha ha .........LOL.

NBP is sharp......I had it on my 03 Accord b4 the TL

3rdGenHybrid

think ima go buy the WDP Lip....thank god for credit cards...muahahahahahaha....i hate my money that much...So its final....NBP lip on WDP is a no go!!!! thanks for your inputs and opinions...

Infamous_Ghost769

sunny201

I say you go ahead and buy that WDP lip sooo u can donate the NBP lip to the "Sunny needs Money to hook up his car" fund LMAO ... all donations are excepted
