1st off ... I was very bored tonite and since I've had my wisdom teeth removed I can't sleep for crap. So I decided to do a google search on the TL's concept articles for the Aspec packages from the past few years.

2nd ... I also did this for all you photoshop people who like to come up with new ideas for concept parts for the TL or just like to play around with the photo's.

Here's what I came up with ...

The concept package included:

- Wider 2" Body
- Lowered Suspension (Track tuned shocks and springs)
- Extended Fender Flares to fit the 21" rims
- Reworked grille and more angular headlights
- Larger air intake and exhaust to raise the hp to over 300
- An integrated spoiler
- Brembo brake components including 8-piston caliper and 15-inch drilled rotors
- New taillights
- Premium Matador Red leather with aluminum and carbon accents
- Heated and Cooled Seats
- Carbon/Kevlar Steering Wheel
- Aluminum sport pedals
- Suede Ceiling
- A panaromic glass roof
- Rearview camera in the trunk lid that displays on the Navi screen
- "Adaptive Cruise Control" that uses a laser in the front grill to automatically maintain a specified distance from cars ahead.



































Then for China's TL ... the side mirrors with turning signals ...

im diggin the carbon fiber front sway bar and the stitching on the steering wheel... that rear lip looks really aggressive..... oh ps... hope your not in 2 much pain... don't smoke or suck through a straw to avoid dry socket... super painful

AcurasGhost

Dang, good eye! I didn't catch that carbon sway bar! The steering wheel I like too.

And nah, I'm not in much pain at all luckly. I've had headache's with more pain ... just swollen a little bit. But I'd take being swollen over the pain.

thank god we didn't get the red interior....that's ugly enough to make small children cry

I wish we got those brakes though!

VtecMW

I want these wheels!

Guys, please dun tell me this will be the 07 TL, that is so much different and so much nicer. I'll have to kill myself for not waiting for the 07 TL. BTW, the body kit looks familiar. (the RonJon's...??)

drdamian

Is that a key hole i see right above the acura symbol on the trunk,,, or maybe its a rear camera????

AcurasGhost

Nah, I dont think so anywayz. These were pics of the concept for the 3rd generation TL Aspec. These concept articles/pics started in December 2003.

Camera that displays images on the Navi screen. Thanks goodness for Dom's Navi converter we can do that on our own!

Souly based on looks... Not my cup of tea

Yo Acurasghost... great post man... must have taken awhile for you to assemble all those pics...

I love the seats on that thing..........they kinda look like the M3 seats.

And is that a China production car with the side mirrors? Cause I smell a mod coming on if it is.

jmbnova

You guys do notice the COLOR of the car right? That nice beautiful Deep Green Pearl....

^nope. Its CLOSER (meaning not exactly - custom) to anthricite metallic. THE best color. Bitches.

jmbnova

You sir, are insane..... That is simply that beautiful sexy color they call Deep Green Pearl....

Your answer .

DJSlim

Yea...the interior is nice. Glad we didnt get it in the final production though, that wouldve boosted the price about 15k easy! lol.

Damn, I think the interior looks good. but for me, not in red. I HATE the exhaust. can you imagine how hard it'll be to find an aftermarket exhaust to fit properly in there. LOL

Dang those seats are hella tight. The red might be a bit much.. Would have made a cool tl is they had put that in production

I love the way those fenders and wheel wells are designed. Flows really well, and the wheel wells have a little more of a squared off look to them. Seats are hot, reminds me of my dad's 7 series seats.
