I couldn't agree more! The rear bumper looks nice tho!

^i agree with both you guys, i would have change the front instead. I think the 09-11 rear bumper looks better than the newest version but that's me. Anyway, the rear bumper looks nice but looks like the color doesn't match very well.

It would have to have been repainted as well. 2012 white is Bellanova White Pearl vs previous White Diamond Pearl.

You were talking about the back bumper? I thought you were talking about the front bumper this whole time. Looks okay I like the bigger reflectors on the 09-11 and the lip kit goes better with the 09-11 rear

not bad....but i agree wit potmilkz

The color matching on WDP is off. I have a 2010 TL in WDP and the bumper color looks off...Why?

I like the MMC bumper. Especially on light colors. The diffuser and character line breaks up the mass, and the reflectors are more tasteful. The aero kit looks decidedly better on the pre-MMC bumper though.

I read a comment that compared the back of the other original bumper to a Thanksgiving turkey all pulled together at the rear end. That kinda ruined it for me. Lol.

That was actually funny!!

To the OP....Nice job in your replacement bumper. I am curious if teh mismatch in color that people talk about here are due to the sunlight/lighting? Given that this is a replacement bumper, I assume you would have had this painted at the shop in WDP so the BWP and WDP argument doesn't hold here.

I will say like others though, the front bumper of the '12 with the darker headlights is, in my opinion, the best improvement of the MMC (body wise) of the 4th gen TL.

Ya if anything I would have replaced the front bumper. Now that you have done the rear,you'll have to replace the front as I think the car looks awkward???

Just curious, how do we know the white TL posted with the "new" rear bumper is on a 09 TL, not a pic of a stock '12 TL?

The silver trim posted looks "shrunk" like that of the '12 TLs. Did you swap the silver trim too?

Any pics of the vehicle's front grill with the license plate? Not that I'm doubting you...

^^^^^

The taillights in the pics are definitely from the '09-'11 era TL.

^^^ Plus the rims and the trims on the door handles confirms that this is a pre mmc

Call me crazy, I prefer the rear on the 09-11 models more.... especially with the aspec kit, but thats just my preference

does anyone know if this is possible yet i have searched and can not find an answer. I want to put the 2012 bumper on my 2010 Acura TL AWD. The reason being is because I need to replace the bumper, headight and grill. Can anyone answer this question. THanks.

potmilkz

its quite obvious you didnt search as its in the first hop topic on the photography side... look at nexsons's build.

Didymus Anthony Simmons

potmilkz...Thanks for pointing that out. So it's possible my next question is does anyone know what parts are needed or required to install an 2012 TL FRONT Bumper on a 2010 TL? My front was involved in an accident and I need to replace the front bumper, headlight and grill. I would like to install the 2012 bumper if so some can help me out with the parts. Thanks.

potmilkz

nexson is working on a parts list right now, but seems pretty basic to me.

whole front bumper with everything on it including grill parts.

fog light covers, fog lights, and turn signals along with oem front lip

Didymus Anthony Simmons

Cool I'm looking to purchases these part soon but I dont want to jump the gun yet... I can wait till Nexson comes out with the part list.

Getting a 2010 6MT is a pretty good hand me down. Hell, I'm even impressed that your wife drove a manual!
