TL at SEMA...

I just stumbled upon these pics of a TL at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. I believe it's a project by RJ DeVera. Never seen anything like it. Just thought I'd share.

Whoa. Great find. I don't like the tail too much, or the wing. But that front kit is pretty damn nice. Points for you buddy.

thanks alot, points for you


I don't like the way it looks, however, with all the mugen logos on there, is this something that RoJa and Mugen came up with? The grille area looks nice, but thats about it

I was just about to post the same thing. The wing and the micro exhaust are pretty bad too.

WOW does that wing have to go!!! It ruins the entire look of the TL: doesnt flow with the body lines or anything! The bodykit doent look bad though. But if its a mugen kit, it will cost you!

I like the grill! As for the spoiler, I'm not so sure. I think I'd have to see some more pics.
The kit, I could take it or leave it. I really like this TL though, if for no other reason because it seems to be the most custom 3rd gen I've seen.

Tuner icon RJ DeVera debuted his own interpretation of a high performance Acura TL performance luxury sedan. DeVera, who showcased a modified Honda Accord at last year's SEMA, utilized a combination of RO_JA and other aftermarket accessories with Acura A-SPEC parts to create a car aimed squarely at today's enthusiast buyer. It features an A-SPEC suspension, a custom RO_JA body kit, and a Comptech supercharger.




So while it may look Ghey (IMO) its got the new CompTech SC under the hood.
RO_JA = Rice Only Japanese Aero ?

looks awesome.... i like the exhaust though...better than comptech.....
well body kit looks better than original acura...but the wing a bit to much...i prefer go with the deck lid..
just my opinion...
when is gonna be available? i want to get it...i hope is not like a-spec..that i need to but the whole set... that would be sucks...i just want to get the body kit and exhaust...

If his kits are going to have as much style as his wheels, I can wait...a really, really long time.
