Don't loose the green godammit Boomer, it's a classic! Especially with those bumpin' Bmode mixes! I'm not a big fan of White on black rims, but that's not bad? The pin strip on the rim looks tacky to me, but I'm feelin' it! I would of placed vinyl overlays on the bottom brake lights too, it's too red! And if your gonna "d badge" anything, take off the Flava Flav Acura emblem!!! It's complete, thanks to your pick, IMO, every TL looks better with the grill and bumper painted! It no longer looks like is smiling at you, and gets back it's aggressive look! I dig it!

By the way, it looks like a ghost town around that dealership!

Boomer do you know who they used to tint the rear tail lights?

How much was the sticker price on that bad boy?

On the Tech Package Anyone with their tail lights darkened does it affect the back up camera view/or the camera view is not as bright?

I don't think so, the 4G camera is extremely good for night vision reception. I was adjusting mine in the dark with no lights on the back and the ground and nearby wall was pretty clear.

If the 4G TL looked like these do from the launch date, i bet sales would be up and people would have less negative things to say about it. You know sales are really slow with the new model when a dealer has to make its own mods to increase sales.

I bet the person who designed the 4g is reeling from all the negative feed back that it is getting.

Than again b4 I even seen these pics the 4G was beginning to grow on me.

I believe those are TSW Vortex'es...but I've never seen them in black before. Too bad they have the cheesy eBay black Acura sticker emblems on there...otherwise that TL is pretty clean.

Keyes Keyes Keyes, Keyes on Van Nuys...

Haha, you know the song! That's funny. I actually went to Keyes on Van Nuys some 5 years ago to look at 3G's, but I was too pressured by this young buck, so I went to Acura 101 with no hassles.

Regarding 05ATL40's comment, I love when people think the look of a car reflects sales drop? Everyone's down across the board? Don't let the new TL look think that's the reason for the drop. Doy.
