BuddyTL's 2012 TL Tech
Hey, everyone. Just thought I'd create a thread to show the changes of my TL over time. I know it was helpful for me to see other TL's when trying to figure out what to do with mine.
Some of these pics are taken with a cell phone so they aren't the best quality. I'll take some others soon with my DLSR.
In the meantime though, here you go. It's a 2012 Acura TL Tech with the OEM underspoiler kit, Tein H-Tech springs and 20" ACE Convex wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
New (to me)
Just lowered
New shoes
Vinyl wrapped all the chrome and silver (except emblems)

Nice ride Buddy! Kit looks awesome with CPB. Nice rim choice. I was hesitant to do all black for the grill (never seen a pic with it all black), but i'm glad you got a pic up with it b/c it looks really good. Nice work!

Excellent job - well done. Your car looks very clean and aggressive.
I would paint the calipers black to compliment the wheels and then leave it exactly as is

Random thought...Buddy did you just get this TL at Acura of Orange Park in Jacksonville w/ the kit already on it used w/ just over 10k miles? I just traded mine in last month for the AWD version there and mine had the kit on it. Saw that your license said acura of orange park so.....lol Wondering if it could be my old one!? Regardless...this is currently my fav pic of the 4G TL.

Thanks, Bankz. You might change your mind once the 5G TL/X is released.

For the vinyl I actually had Miller Creative Group in OP do it. I'm sure it's something I could technically do on my own but I rather leave it to the professionals. They had it ready to go within one day.
Thanks, AnyaBoo.

Hey, alienstudio. Between the new wheels, tires and lowering you definitely notice a slight difference in the steering. It's a little heavier/tighter but nothing to be too concerned about.
