Rear Wing Haters Move On

Just finished front spoiler and rear wing. No need for negative feedback as I believe to each his own. Too many Acuraziners only want to do what everyone else does. We need a little diversity. Check it out and tell me what you think. If you don't like it, at least be civil in your response.

fixed ... and the ebay lip/rear wing isn't my thing. I actually think it looks cleaner without anything. Nice car though . +rep for being different.

you cant just open up the thread for positive comments only...if you cant take negative with positive, then dont put up the pics....


at your age, thats probably pretty cool, but not for me...i would however like to see a pic from the rear....

otherwise, for your age, thats a pretty damn cool car!!

If your car was a coupe...would look better. It draws too much attention to the back cause it's too big. But as long as you like it, that's what counts. Maybe if you took a pic from the back, it would look different.

As I stated, I am open to negative comments but a lot of people prefer bashing to feedback. Feel free to say what's on your mind but we need to respect each other. For the record, I'm 41 so I'm no baby. I'll get some different angles up. To be honest, when I first got it on, I thought it was too big as well but the angles flow with the car lines pretty well.

SSMDTL,

You two spoilers are in good proportion to each other. Both are unique and balance your TL.

I think a drop will make a huge difference for this car. It will the sporty look, which the wing started.

Diversity is one thing... Dare to be different... To each his own. Blah blah. But that looks absolutely hideous. To the people who are saying it actually looks "ok", you're just being nice, right? You've got to be kidding...
Positive feedback: your car would look amazing if you removed the rear aircraft spoiler and Nascar front lip. Someone has to tell you how horrible that looks or else you'll continue thinking it's ok... and that would be wrong.

The wing, the lip, the wheels, the stance. Nothing goes together.

Thanks

Thanks for all the input, negative and positive. It seems people who own our car want it to look either touring sedan or sporty. To me it's a good looking car either way. Like I said, I thought the wing looked too big at first also but after a day it really grew on me. I guess it helps to see it in person. Going to keep it, I think it brings out the sporty side of the TL. Maybe you all can check it out at a meet and give it a second thought. Again, thanks. SSMDTL
P.S. Phee, That's exactly what I mean. You suggest that I do what everyone else does, then it wil be unique. Does that sound right to you?

I can be honest. It does look crazy tall from the back.
