Pics of all the work I've done up to now. Roof painted black, front grill black, emblems and rear molding black, wheels painted black, lip spoiler, mudguards and wood grain shifter

 

Perfect! Top turned out really nice. I'm not typically a fan, but with the wheels an grille badge, it ties in nicely. Keep up the good work.

 

Are you planning to get the wood steering wheel to go with the knob/trim ?

 

I have to say I am surprised I like it as much as I do. The black roof I am mixed on, but the other black treatments really look nice.

 

Could be a "Special Edition" model.

 

Well done! Love that painted grille insert.. looks oddly famliar

 

Looks great, I'm starting to like the black roof's on white more and more..

 

Me too.. I may have to do something similar

 

Thanks for not going over board with the black.
some people could learn a thing or two from you!

 

So right! The OP's contrast is just right and tasteful.

 

Yes I am looking for 1. Have a buddy who works at Acura so trying to get me one

It could be lol thanx. Actually the dealer where my buddy works, his manager saw my wheels and wants to do some in the show room like that. Thought that was kind of cool.

My buddy wanted me to do the spoiler black but I didn't think it would look good

 

Very nicely done.

 

I REALLY like what you have done, especially on the RIMS! It gives a very unique and distinctive look!!

 

hell no the black spoiler would make it look like a panda bear....
you have just the right amount of accents.

 

I was thinking the same thing. It would look out of place. Steering wheel is prob last thing I'm gonna do unless I do performance work

 

..BTW, what type of paint did you use on the RIMS?

 

PPG their regular black think its DMD 1683 off the paint mixing machine

 

Beautiful car - well done! I think it has just about the right amount of black to go nicely with the white especially the grill, emblems and wheels. Still not totally sold on the black roof though that's only my personal preference.

 

I must say this is very well executed. Not tacky at all. You pulled it off nicely.

 

Was thinking of putting the factory spoilers on the front bumper what do you guys think?

 

I think it looks great, well done.

 

I would suggest adding the side pieces if you do that. It will look good!

 

Do it! When I bought my kit, I only had time to put on the front spoiler and it did not look out of place at all. The front end will look a lot more agressive but I highly recommend getting the full kit. I know the rear spoilers are not for everyone though and you will lose the mud flaps.

 

My avatar pic will give russ an idea of what his will look like

 

what wheels are on your tsx stock?

have any other pictures of the front of your car with the spoilers

anybody have a pic of the 2012 tl w/the full body kit on it?

 

Very nice!

 

was also thinking of doing roof spoiler

 

why do you keep on posting the same pictures in 3 different threads?

couldnt you just update your thread?

 

could but I'm an idiot lol was just putting them in one place. Can I delete those old threads

 

There are plenty of members w/ '12-'13 4Gs who created threads w/ and w/o the full lip kit in the photo gallery subsection. You just have to click thru them.

I made one for my 4G and it's in the BWP color like yours.

EVERYBODY has pics of one of those..

GOOGLE has the most pics..

use the search button.

 

your car is hot!! How far did you drop it? And with what springs?

not necessary to be a dick

 

Thanks and I have Tein SS coilovers in it. The rear is 10 threads from the bottom and the front is 4 or 5 threads from the bottom.

The Tein S-Techs springs will give a modest drop. Around -1.5" drop w/ a ~1" gap between the fender and the tire. I think these will look great w/ your current setup.

And if you are planning on dropping it and opt for the cheaper alternative then go w/ Teins. I've heard from other members they ride like OEM and are much better than H-R springs. I normally go w/ feedback from people who actually used the product to make my decision and I know you will do the same.

Keep us posted! Your car looks great.

with the exception of the rear piece. BTW, your car looks good and love what you did to the wheels especially

 

Thank you very much

 

Panda Bear like Crab? Bad Panda!

 

The BWP with your black grill and roof ties it all together with the black badges. Nice work!

 

Russ, your TL looks really nice.

Was thinking of getting the woodgrain steering wheel. I have the shifter so figured it would fit any thoughts?
