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!
Hey RJ
Sorry ,i didn't come here recently.
well thanks.
and yes. i don;t think there's Acura dealership in HK. You have to come to mainland to buy the rear fog and reverse light. well, for now wish the kind KB1SPEC will help you got it.
BTW.your car is definitely goegous already

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.
I think you are right. it makes sense....

the stock rear break was bit empty looking so i install it. actually feels not so balanced same 4 pots front and rear. so i upgraded the front to red 6 pots big break with 355mm disc to balance.. for now performace and looks much better . i use JBT break system.made in taiwan.you may look for if got a agent you there if you want to stall.
very appreciated for that.please ask about the price if you got time.also confusing for use aspec type s i need mod the exhaust tips.and if the base aspec i need mod the rear fogs.. maybe just let it be

These parts are made in the USA. I have a friend works for Honda Headquarter. I tried to ask him to get me those parts but with all the red tapes these are export only and cannot be obtain in the US since these are not DOT approved.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLL @ the guy's description of TL:

"TL entered into Acura family in early 1990’s, it was named Vigor at that time. TL line is a mature model that has maximum sale quantity in American. Today, TL strengthens the electric system of steering wheel, adds the tyre pressure detecting function. As the top-level product of Honda, Acura TL reveals its gift for sport. TL is a car particular stress on sport. The one enter China market is the fourth generation product of TL, it succeeds to features of the products of former several generation such as great horsepower, advanced technique and simple outline etc. The front design of TL is very adventurous; the three arris lines at the outer of engine cover make the front part shrink towards the center that is quite vogue."


But nonetheless, nice model toy.

Lets hear it for more government intervention!!! Why in the world would DOT not approve a strip of reflective lighting in red and white at the bottom of our rear bumper. Usually we are getting rid of/changing the color of our lights which they don't like either. I have to ask why anyone would even give a ____. Really it goes for the tail lights, too. These damn things are made in the U.S.A. and treated like a controlled substance. Don't you think that Honda/Acura would love to sell them to us if they could? Damn right. I would love to have those tails but my blessed government says I can't have them. Land of the free, eh? Unite for export taillights! Sheesh.

ebay finally started selling the right side CDM tail lights. based out of ukraine.

I pulled the plug--waiting to see what happens. Total cost was around 650 USD after shipping for left and rear (left was purchased from a separate seller on ebay).

The right tail is about $570 from China.
The left side you can buy on ebay for about $75.

The rear fog light in the bumper is about $700 with wiring together.

The license garnish is about $350 with or without rear cam cutout.

Shipping is included from china and takes about 3-4 weeks.

With a group buy we can save shipping cost.

Slightly off topic. Would you be able to get 4G TL front and rear bumpers?
