I had it painted when the Aero kit and 18" wheels were installed. It has a clear bra applied.

Brandon, I definitely like the side moldings with the mud flaps without the Aero kit, it breaks up the rather large door for my tastes. Nice. My only issue is all these rims say Honda to me. I'm so frustrated as I still can't find some rims for my Black Pearl/Ebony FWD.

Interesting...the door molding is alot lower on the '09's. I sure wish that Aero Kit didn't look like it stops at the fog lights. It would look so cool if it continued across the entire front of the car.

I was thinking the same thing when I got mine home then realized that most of the cars I see with lowered air dams on the front are either distorted or scratched. Hell I scratched the underside of the front bumper on my Honda S2000 within a week after buying it just pulling into a parking lot. I imagine within a year, some aftermarket guru will make a filler either body color or carbon fiber/look to fill the void.

That's priceless! Another guy that drives a Prelude has "3VOM U" which reflects as U MOVE. Beautiful TL by the way.

Thanks - The "TI VOM or MOV IT" had better impact when it was on my S2000!

I didn't even notice the license plate, but that's extremely creative.

I'm not a huge fan of the 09 TL but I REALLY liked your car! Looks awesome in WDP! Congrats!

Thanks for all the nice compliments!
I think I'm going to paint the grill and possibly the surrounding piece too.
Have to get some better quality pics up.

DON'T PAINT IT!!!!

I think that might hurt your resale once the new look does become accepted.

I like the grill better painted to match the white, but with the silver left intact around it. That looks SICK. And to be honest I usually despise white cars. Love this in the WDP though. Either way you do it, it's still gonna look sick, grill painted or not. Go with what you want. Me personally though, if I had the white I would do it. I have Grigio, so mine's staying as is =)

TBH, it won't cost me anything, I can get the grill painted for free, and can swing getting the grill piece for free too.

Since you can get a great deal on the paint job, go ahead and do a clear bra too. I got a very tiny ding in the grill before the clear bra was put on. The traffic and trucks in the Northern VA area are murder on the front of vehicles. Well worth it.

My first Acura Integra LS was white, and I always felt kinda girly in it, both these TL's do not look girly!

I see where they got the 4G TL nose design from, they must have this pic hanging on the walls at the design studio!
