I second that. I just got the full aero kit installed Wednesday on my 4g. It's like night and day. It definently improves the appearance and stance of the car.

The factory lip kit really makes the car look so much better. And since it's OEM you know it will fit well.

You also have to remember that Acura is trying to move upmarket with the car. So not as many younger people (who would want custom body kits) are able to afford it.

I have to agree with you, very little out there for aftermarket parts or mods for the 4G imo. I don't know what the deal is?

I think the OEM Aspec Kit could have been much better. The front spoiler doesn't really look like a lip spoiler at all-it looks like side skirts. It doesn't even go under the front grill. Even though it doesn't look bad, they still could have done MUCH better, in my opinion.....

This was posted a while ago. Not sure if it's what you're looking for.

Agreed, not impressed with the factory options. Better left off the car.

Or to put it another way, the "ricer" crowd is not the targetted demographic for this particular vehicle.

Haha - it's funny, because first I typed "ricers", but I felt that I would be a bit more classy with my response.

Don't believe my words needed "fixing". Have you looked at some of the stuff that's been done to this car by some members of the "Acurazine car talk crowd"? I stand by my comment.

35,535 miles and increasing.

I agree with your original comment. Didn't mean to "fix" your comment but rather "add" on, due to relative monstrosity of negativity and hatred towards the 4G TL (and Acura in general) in Cartalk. Apologies my friend.

Some of the 4G mods have been absolutely awesome. FYAH TL comes to mind.

It's possible those with Acura negativity in cartalk may very well be the same "ricer" crowd who are stuck in Acura nostalgic mode. Who knows...
