Hey everyone,

The name's Chris & I'm new to the community.

My baby is a CPO 2010 NBP TL SH-AWD Tech 6MT with all the trimmings.

The previous owner had the grill painted body color which helped to sell me on it as well. This is my third Acura after an '06 MDX & '07 MDX.



Now my friend who woks at a body shop says he has a 2010 shaved rear bumper (no reflectors) that I might pick up for $200 (free install). I was wondering if anyone had this mod done?

Thanks

 

What is a shaved bumper?

 

In this case, shaved meaning that there are no reflectors on the back bumper. Instead it's just smooth.

 

hey how much did you pay for your 2010 tl , because i have the 2010 sh-awd tech package black on chestnut leather seats with 19 inch Crome rims . and i bought it with 29,229 and its a CPO and i paided 28,900

 

Hey Chris...welcome to Acurazine and congrats on your new to you TL!! She looks good! I had never heard of a shaved bumper either so I'll be going to bed less stupid tonight

 

Did Nexson do the "delete rear reflectors" mod on his previous TL ?

 

Yep, sounds like Brian's work.

 

I did do that project and although I did a pretty decent job on it, it looks off. Too much of nothing without the reflectors to break it up. Ended up cutting it up and tossing it in the garbage. The thread is still up here though.

 

Looks like you could have made a few bucks.

Reminds me of that novel I wrote and tossed in the trash in 1992. It was a story about a zany pirate and his adventures that were both "scary and funny."

 

Thanks for all the responses guys. Thank you Nexson for blessing my first thread haha.

Yeah I saw some pictures on here and everyone came to the consensus that it left too much of an unbroken area in terms of lines so I probably won't do it. Might just get them tinted instead.

 

Welcome Chris.....congrats on your new ride.
