Nice new pics, Stew. I like the 2012 TL, but I'm still wondering what they were thinking with the lower grill....

Stew,

What kind of lens are you using with that 20D?

^ yeah, it really does make a difference. I notified the dealer of this and mentioned that they might want to see about doing this as an option.. They said they can't due to paint issues (rock chips, scratches, etc). They will pass it on to Acura and maybe they could make this part in gloss black and not just painted.

This means the paint is just sitting on the surface and isn't "one" with the actual grille itself

Looks really sharp, you guys and you're painted grills are really opening up my color options.

Stew.....OMG! I am hugely not a fan of any mods as I tend to be a bit conservative and not invest too much given that I only lease my TL. That being said, your pics make me sooo tempted to venture that route! You, my friend, have an amazing looking TL with just the right of mods and accessories (IMO).....As much as alot of people still feel the 3G was the best design, your TL makes the 4G look amazing! Congrats my friend.

NEXSON...you also need the credit for such a great job!
