i guess the paint in china doesnt match either 
So i am curious about something, as well know, the TL is built in USA... so i am assuming this version TL is built in the USA, and so are its parts?
So technically, it really shouldnt be THAT hard to get some CDM parts for the TL... if its put together in the USA?

well... i did some mods for my TL.... tuned ecu by ??chips,i send my ecu to EURO ,they reset topspeed to 165..and release rpms to 7500.... they said +30hps and 30nm, but i didn't run a dyno.(bit doubts)but can feel it when driving...
quite interesting. us made tuned by Euro..
and now , i already bought a AEM cai.will install it soon.
about the exhaust.there is only one ASPEC catback on aftermarket.i m not quit sure for the sound and performance so i have to wait ATLP or comptech....comes. cause if i buy it from US should too expensive after express and import tax..
also i applied RL front big 4 pots calipers and bigger rotors and small 4 pots rear calipers (made in taiwan) and 245 40 r18 ps2...
i will drop my tl with BC suspension kit (taiwan)...
my rear bumper can't fit the apec body kit,so i'm wondering if just get the front and side kit on ...but not sure look good without rear kit....??
... ....i took denso spark plugs by the way..

Just got back from Hong Kong! I only saw one car badged as an Acura and it was an Acura Integra DC2 with a US Front?!
I saw two 1g TSXs badged as Honda Accords. An Acura RSX badged as a Honda Integra Type R. An Acura RL badged as a Honda Legend. It was weird though because I saw some cars badged as Lexus and others badged as Toyotas. For example, I saw a Toyota Harrier and a Lexus rx330 both on the road. Hong Kong was amazing btw!
Your car would definitely stand out there! Everyother car over there is a BMW or Mercedes it seems like. I tried to find the Acura dealership in Hong Kong, but apparently I had to go to mainland china to find one.
I was going to try and find the rear fog light and purchase it and bring it back with me. But, oh well. If you can get any info on that it would be much appreciated!
Car looks great!

No...getting CDM parts and export out to US is hard. If you need spare parts in China they have to run a VIN on your vehicle in order to for them to order your parts. When I ordered the taillamp, my friend's father use another TL there and make a fake purchase order. Reason why I got a hand of those tail lamp was because my friends father owns an Acura dealership in Guangzhou.

So bad ass was the Hong Kong airport?! I watched a video of the making of it on youtube the other night.

It was pretty nice! Our tour guide said they moved the airport because the previous airport was too close to the city and was causing too much noise!!! haha.. dont know if that is true or not lol .. But, yes the new airport is VERY nice! When you exit off of the plane, they have a video camera that displays who is walking out of the Arrival gates.. The video camera is connected to a HUGE TV where people who are waiting to pick you up can see you! I thought that was pretty bad ass.. I have video of the airport if you are ever interested in really seeing it haha..

Car looks great, keep up the good work.
Oh and BTW....from the looks of it I'll bet you could get that ASPEC rear on there with a little modification.
