New here with SH-AWD

Well I'm new to this forum, I'm from NJ as well. Just picked up a 2011 SH-AWD yesterday. It's black with umber interior and just over 30k miles. I have lurked on this site for a few weeks while I decided if I was going with a TL or not. No sense of signing up on this site if I didn't get an Acura. I know a few mods I would like to do. One would be the headlights to a 2012 style or aftermarket, as well as a black grille and black rear trim. Also does anyone know if you can black out the fog light bezels easily? Thanks in advance. And just appearance mods will be done to this, tint will be coming soon.

Loving the umber interior myself. 2012 front switch over will run you 1400$ or more with the black painted grille. You have to switch everything out.

ActTL does a log of head light black outs and things like that be best to talk to him.

I just wanted to the headlights and black out the grill I already have. I didn't want to do an entire 2012 nose. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes but I'm saying to switch over to a 2012 headlight you have to change out the entire front end from what I remember.

^headlights only will bolt right up i believe ... but it would still probably be cheaper to have ur lights painted by acktl05, as you are in jersey it'd probably be a good move

I assume he is from NJ as well? I can't do PMs as of now. I believe I have 14 more days to wait on here, before I get that privilege.

2012 TL headlights will fit perfectly, no need to change/modify anything
