Grigio with under body spoiler

I have some before and after pics of the under body spoiler.

I think it looks good from the back and the side, helping to make the body look less round and bubbly, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The front doesn't look quite right though. From the side the front fender looks good, but from the front it looks like they just kind of stopped with the side view and didn't get around to blending it into the front.

All and all I think it makes a world of difference and love the change it makes to the car. The difference is very subtle, but it really helps. My thinking is that they probably should have added this to the SHAWD and called it the type-S and left the FWD without the body kit. Yeah, it's all about saving the dollars, but it definitely would have differentiated the two versions a lot.

The underbody kit makes the car look like it's been lowered.

I saw a Grigio 4G the other day in Newton, man that color looks awesome. Great pics too showing the before and after. I think the underbody kit is a must on the 4G, it really makes the car.

Looks great, I think I am about to get it.

Did you put it on yourself?

No, had it done at Bernardi in Brighton (boston). I really don't have a good space, or the right tools since I'm really not a car fiddling guy, but mostly because I'm lazy and have some extra dough floating around where I can pay someone to do it for me. I figured if something went wrong, rattles caused by it, scratches....., at least I could take it back and have them fix it instead of me making things worse. There is a space in the back where it doesn't lie flat against the bumper, I'll see if they can do something about that.

^ that spot is normal... unless you are an Acura dealer, or you take your sweet time with a rubber "roller" that gab will always be there... even on the 3G TL, but more noticeable on the 4G

I agree, I put it off for a long time not thinking it was a necessity, but now that it's on I think it really changes the look of the car. The before and after pics are 1 year apart. I took them in the same parking lot, but the before pics where when I bought the car, November of 2009 (oh yeah I overpaid for a 2010 bought in 2009, but I bought a first year 2003 Saab 9-3 and wasn't going to buy a first year model again), the after are from this past weekend. I tried to get the pictures as close to the same as I could because if you are wondering if you should get the kit or not, being able to see the before and after side by side really helps out.

Well I had it done at an Acura dealer, so I'm going to take it back and see if they can fix it.

I like how you did comparisons of it with and without the kit. Looks so much better with the body kit.

I like the Aspec Kit-I still wish they would have made the front spoiler go underneath the nose of the car.
