Okay, so here's my update...ended up ditching the trunk spoiler...getting holes filled and Betty got me a CSL spoiler for my birthday. Couldn't be happier...
Okay, in addition to getting the grill redone, the fog bezels/rings color matched...I had some interior pieces painted NBP. A BIG shout goes to Wacker for his hard work and attention to detail...and to Aaron/Sharksbreath for unselfishly helping out with the Acura "A" decal for the gauge bezel. I appreciate the hard work...

Anyway, maybe the new angles of the spoiler will change your mind.
WOW, from YOU, that's a fkn big one for me.
Thank you Adam...you loved being right, huh?
No. That is his stock bezel. I painted it NBP, added the silver rings, and the silver Acura logos using some vinyl graphics sharksbeeath cut for me as stencils. I also painted his A/C vents, center console trim, and reshot his grille.
As usual Jeremy. Beautiful car I was honored to contribute to the project

Thanks Wacker, honestly...with all the hard work you put in and the little details and surprising me with some stuff...I'm just really happy that you're happy with how it turned out. I love everything.
We g'damn...I don't even know what to say to that...THANK YOU, bud!
I really don't even know what thread that is! Jerk
I agree, I'm telling you, before I'd try and convince myself mainly, and everyone else that the trunk spoiler was where it was at. As soon as I spent the cash to plug the holes and get rid of it, the very next day I saw another TL with one and was like
Sucks to be a hypocrite!

Here are the side shots that Tyler alluded to last week that I had deleted from Flickr. I took them with the silver grill, missing interior pieces, missing fogs and aspecs on so I didn't feel like sharing the incomplete.

Thanks, man. Honestly, I've already had a couple of type s buddies that are considering trying to figure out a swap. They could sell their type s spoilers and pay for the CSL and part of the paint for it too.

I truly did like your big wing.
But the CSL lip is awesome. I love how it flows with the lip on the quarter panels above the taillights. And the bezel looks fantastic. Great seeing things that don't usually get attention see some TLC and modding.
Now dem exhaust tips...

Why thank you!
Ha! I blame the type s tips for the hate on mine! Honestly, I see SO many other quad tipped cars out there that are either the same size or smaller than mine...but in comparison I do realize that the reason mine look small is because the type s one is fkn huge. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do wish they looked bigger but any bigger and they wouldn't fit in that opening anymore!
Anyway, thank you...I agree...nice to mod some stuff that doesn't get love normally. It started with the 2 side sill garnishes...then little by little Wacker and I discussed and eventually decided on all the other pieces to support it. Super happy with it.
Thank you! Ironic, with the trunk spoiler I had mostly hate on it...then I get rid of it and a bunch of people are like, "I liked the other spoiler better". Can't make ALL the people happy ALL the time, huh? Either way, I love how it flows with the trunk lines and follows the visors etc...I was just looking at page 1 of this thread and man I really don't like the trunk spoiler from most of the angles...especially when I was offroading.

It's probably just my imagination, but your car looks lower with the new lip. I think it's because the trunk looks bigger and the ground clearance looks smaller. I agree with John, your photo work is stellar
