10' AWD-Tech....Mayan Bronze / Umber

Hi, all...
Just had her tinted and clear bra'd this weekend. 18% rears and 35% (Nevada legal) fronts. As you can see she also has the 19" Diamonds and the body kit.

Sorry the pics are not of the greatest quality, just wanted to get some up. Will be taking much much better pics next weekend to showcase her.

Am absolutely loving her, and despite leaving the nose factory, you should see the amount of looks and I am getting!!!!

Cheers for now.

Mods to be done next spring....
JNC headlights and tails
Eibach pro kit springs.
Possible RonJon grille with floating "A" no horizontal bar.

Very nice!
I think the Mayan Bronze is a gorgoeous color. That diamond wheels look good on it as well.

Seriously love the exterior colour!!!

But I don't like the rims....definitly 19" is cool on the big 4G, but the Acura or the Honda stock's rims always lack of design....

Anyway, the car overall looks great!!!
Prepare for the jealousy eyes~~lol

It is a beautiful color. I'll have the same car shipped hopefully in 3 weeks. Congrats and get ready for all the oohhhs and ahhh's. The best part is not even the exterior, its the ride!!!!

The 4G TL has a very nice profile. Much better looking profile than the 3G. The color makes the beak more palatable.

No, don't have the kit yet. Probably wait until after the first winter season is over. Also leaning towards a set of DTIIIs in the Liquid Graphite Machined finish. Can't stop looking at this picture and imagining them on my Mayan Bronze.

Mmmmm... I'm thinking of the exact same thing on my CBP. I love the look of the clean face with the black color in the wheel. These are also on my top of the list... Not sure how much the 19's weigh compared to stock.

The Raven Black Machined Legends are also on my top list....

All great choices on the wheels. That is the great thing about them, you are able to personalize a vehicle simply by changing out the wheels. People may not like the way they look, but they are an extension of your personality that gives your car it's own uniqueness.

I myself actually really like the way the Diamonds look and don't think that they lack design. But then again, I like understated looks, clean lines etc. I have always been partial (and have owned them before) to the Oz Superturismo's but they aren't available for this fitment.

Closest thing would be the Ultraleggera's.

Or the RonJon Vega's which are $70 cheaper.

Definfity the Oz Superturismo is more nicer Diamonds look then the Acura Diamonds looks rims.(myself only!)
Too bad they are not fit the 4G.....SERIOUSLY is really hard to find a nice 5x120 rims.......

Yeah, the OZ Superturismo and the UL are very nice wheels indeed, but IMHO, both of them don't necessarily look better on a TL than the Diamonds.

ST is a traditional rally style wheel and the UL or the older SL(superleggera) looks better on sports cars.
I wasn't too impressed when I saw the picture of the Diamond wheels(wheels alone), but when I saw them on the actual car, it looks 100x better.
It compliments the sporty, yet luxurious exterior very well.

Probably the same reason why I find the RonJon wheels very appealing.
To be honest, some of the early 3G wheels from RonJon I didn't care much, but the newer legend styles are just beautiful.
Very distinctive design that's hard to find in any other wheels manufacturer.

Agreed. Nothing more than 1" drop wanted so I am trying to figure what I want to throw on for that. Headlights and tails of course! As I stated in your grille post, the factory grille on this particular color has actually grown on me, so I don't think that I will change it out, except for perhaps the factory midnight chrome one that is being shown on Acura's web site.

BTW, loving yours!

I would go with the H&R Sport Springs (only available option for the 4G AWD) .. i have them, but yet to install.. i believe the drop is about 1.3" which will be sporty and aggressive, but still conservative enough on an Acura, that you wont scrape on every road imperfection...

What a stunning exterior color. That's like the KBP of the 4th gen.

Looks like you're practicing proper wash techniques as I don't see any swirl marks.

Any interior shots??

Looks good, darker colors make that grille contrast in a more pleasing way. Color combo is nice as well!

Thanks all for the kind remarks.


The windshield sunscreen is by covercraft.com, when you choose your vehicle you have to use 2009 as it does not show up for the 2010's yet.

Part Number:
UV11089
Interior Window Cover; UVS100™ Heat Shield;


I have used this particular shield for every vehicle I have had over the last 8 years. They are custom fitted to each vehicle. I swear by them.
