Just picked up a new 2012 Silver Moon TL with Tech and SH-AWD. I ordered the Acura Aero kit and body side moldings and will have those installed with a clear bra next weekend. Pics will be posted when I have them.

Here is the before picture, next week for the after...

Great color choice - now if my 6MT ever comes I'll join you. What are the best bra kits to install on this car?

People will argue on this one, but I'm going with the 3M kit...

Congrats! Excellent color choice. I will be joining you soon. I have a Silver Moon 6MT ordered & it should arrive before the end of the year. I'm considering a clearbra too, possibly XPEL.

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Silver Moon is definitely an improvement over the Palladium Silver used prior. I may even consider it on my next TL go-around (5g?) over the White I've had my other 4 TL's. Can't wait to see pics of the body kit when you get it installed!

Thanks for all of the responses! I am looking forward to dressing this TL up just a little.
The TL should be a bit more reliable than the 528i I am coming out of...

i have a feeling that the car will look even better if you can shift the body side moldings up a bit in order to line up with the top edges of the front and rear aero pieces.

They more or less do match the height for the rear. The BSM's sit directly above a hard body line on the doors and might look funny I they were moved up to match the front of the aero kit...

I actually don't have any more pics, but I can try and take some more tomorrow. There are a few more threads on this site of TLs in silvermoon or the equivalent Canadian color with the aero kit, if you search for them.

I always liked the look of the 2007 I had and this kind of takes the new body style and puts that cool factor to it. Great job, this really looks good. Do you mind saying what that cost?

I am not a big fan of silver but I really like this one on the new TL. Saw it at the local dealership... fits the car really well.

Thank you, the dealer will add the kit for $1200 - $1300 or you could DIY, but there is a bit of cutting on the rear.
