Intro & Shaved Bumper?

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

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

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

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.
