"A little more aggressive?"

If this thing looked any more aggressive I think it would be subject to arrest on sight.

The lower body kit is available from your friendly neighborhood Acura parts dealer (or on Ebay). If you decide to get it, be careful where you drive. Even without the front lip, it's very easy to scrape the chin on curb stops and steep inclines due to the relatively long front overhang.

Contact Tim @ hondacuraworld. He is a vendor here on AZ and will do better than the dealer on pricing.

They quoted about 890 for the whole kit including shipping and handling. Best deal I've found so far and will probably get one soon.

I don't get the whole kit thing, it doesn't enhance the car at all from what I've seen posted here so far. The RonJon accessories are the best I've seen, but I still think it's unnecessary, unless you like the "ricey" look?

thanks, I've noticed how the front is pretty big. just did a trip from florida to deals gap, got 2,200 miles on it since thursday, ha ha, I'm used to the size of the car now.

nothing ricey, just something that lowers the front. saw something that looked nice in the RonJon banner ad on the site, but when I went to their site I didn't see anything for the new TL.

I emailed Ronjon about the front lip-kit shown in the banner a few weeks ago, he said at this time they are just working on a grille. I hope they produce a lip-kit down the road.

I really want to make one for the TL, like this one:

But I am very hesitant, because of the tooling cost and the different type of customer the new TL brings to the table. Night and day compared with the 3G TL. If you liek this one in ABS plastic, voice your opinion! Right now tho, the grille seems to be in most demand so we are working on that currently.

its between these two general designs:

I think if both were available right now I'd order the first one. that being said I'd get either one if only one was available. I like the first one better because it's a little simpler. I'm just looking for something that lowers the stance of the front of the car, stock is just too tall. the grill looks nice too, I personally would get the lip before I got the grill though.

that is a pretty hot setup with the matching side skirts

Sign me up for either one, if I had to pick, I would go with the second one. Hopefully there becomes enough interest in the front lip for this to go to production.

Yeah, if I do one, it weill be the first one becasue that seems to simplify the already CrAzY style of the TL, and the sides might be an option too, but the rear I think we'd leave out. This kit would already be 2" lower than the factory sides and front.

I personally love the back and wouldn't spend money changing it. the front is the only part of the car that I wasn't 100% sold on but it's grown on me. I'd order one right now if it was available, keep us posted

I'll choose the second one. The second one makes the TL look more aggressive. Also it bring back the look of the 3GEN TL too. The first one is gorgeous too compare to the Acura(the acura's front lip is just ugly...no design at all...make the car look stupid...)
I hope RJ will bring back the project of the Front lip asap....seems I know few of my friends want RJ to have the kit release too.
Anyways....I'll choose to buy the Kit more then the Grill tho....

Holy crap....that grill is totally awesome!!!

That baby would shut the pieholes of all the "beak-haters" for sure.

I'd probably buy one 15 minutes after it became available.

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
