But still, I'm not sure how they work in China tho...not sure can they just sell the front lip or maybe that's a package deal of that model.
Hopefully I can have a good news next week.....

I don't know but that Chinese front bumper is bangin'! That extra detail [recessed area] around the top edges gives the front end a more sculptured look. It frames the grille and headlights and gives the front end a more finished look. No word yet from the guy who was gonna check on it. Might not be able to get it in the U.S. They should include it in the MMC. That way it could be available for US buyers.

I'm wondering now if the U.S. version is different because of compliance issues. Might be some kind of bar of some sort up front that prevents them from using the Chinese design. Hmmm...

I love the front lip kit-it's much better that the American Aspec Kit lip. The American lip is not even a lip-it's a two side pieces with nothing in the front of the car.

I like how it is painted white inbetween the grille, it breaks it up very nicely!

Interesting to see Andy Lui doing an Acura TL commercial. IMO I think the lip actually look too aggressive but thats just me, it probably look bad ass with a drop and some wheels. Any additional accessories for the 4G TL is welcome.

Super duper bump.
Has anyone ever swapped to the CDM front or rear bumper?
Or modded their bumpers in a similar fashion?

Yes, the 3G TL was also offered in China.
Both 3G and 4G CDM models differ from their USDM counterparts.
