Maybe?
 
I don't even know about the feasibility of this,but I think this is an undoubted improvement.
(p.s. I know it's not the greatest job in the world but whatever.)

anyone?

(and sorry if someone has already done this...I haven't really seen any shops of it on here yet so I figured nobody wanted to waste the time.)

Give me that grill and I might buy one, the 09 Grill really distracts from the car, that blacked out edged grill similar to current 3G grill is nice, may some after market can find a new niche!

im sure the aftermarket parts would make this car look beautiful. I Think i Nice Drop, Some beautiful 19" Rims and The Black Grill you have on With maybe Acura Sign on it would make this car liveable. And maybe for the back we can Blackout the headlights??
Than i might Consider trading my Audi A4 with this instead of going for Jaguar Stype-R :D

AgnosticJive 08-31-2008 12:52 PM

well
 
after some more thought I realized that the grill I did wasn't too realistic, because it would involve cutting into the plenum, somehow shaving it off of the hood, and then probably having to repaint it...at least, so I tried just blacking out the grill.

(Again, not the best job in the world...but whatever.)

The first picture is better, but I still just can't get over the STUPID looking "turn signal/driving light" failure....

AgnosticJive 08-31-2008 03:18 PM

yeah...I like the first one better but it seems a bit too unrealistic or too expensive to be feasible. the only way I can see it working would be an aftermarket hood or something because the plenum goes up into/onto the hood...so who knows,maybe once they're actually out in person someone can figure something out.

Steven Bell 09-01-2008 03:57 PM

You know...it's pretty bad when the car hasn't even come out yet and we're already making RADICAL Photoshop modifications to it. Jive is right about the hood. But who wants to put that much money into an aftermarket hood (which hasn't been made yet) after you've spent $35,000 to $40,000 for a car.

What does that tell you?

You've said it in a nutshell. The car isn't even introduced and we're trying to change the look of it.

The 09 TL does not look sexy lowered IMO! Not saying that it is in these pics. Its not a sexy car at all as far as looks go.

Now that is not my way of improving...it takes a great design to ugly

Maybe the A-Sec will cleanup the mess they made of this car?

Be-in my TL 09-02-2008 06:07 PM

just noticed again, is the quarter window not connected to the door?!?!?! fucking stupid

Stash 09-02-2008 07:18 PM

Good idea, but the mess is the on the nose of the car. The A-Spec kit is on the lower portions of the car.

There is always hope they will wake up and realize that its a mess. I am sure they can do something...Offer a whole new bumper...why not? that way they can justify the cost and clean it up at the same time ;they are trying to move to tier 1 correct...then why not. Its crazy to think that so many people think this thing is horrible and have acura think "we have a winner." And its not like its just this board either. You have people performing reviews and thinking what is up with this design! Yes, it will grow on you to some extent but what about the other 85% of you that says yuk!!! yes many will say I am not concerned completely with the looks but then again does not beauty entice the greater percentage of people and help convince people that this is the right choice? :2cents:

You're right. Looks like Jaguar thought through that. Another sedan done right.
