The thought is nice, but the implementation is not. They stick out too far, and they should be set further apart. These tips probably went straight back from the existing tips.

^^ I agree, I am not feeling this dual exhaust execution either, but luckily for us, this is not coming from Acura itself. What I do like though is how they have a rear bumper with a 'bodykit' as a single piece and not as an added accessory at the dealer.

I wish Acura would really develop a different front/rear bumper fascia that could either be ordered directly from the factory or installed at the dealer, but as a single piece only, the way they did for the 2009-20011 TSX.

Would it be that hard and costly for them to have a Type-S package from the assembly line?!

Here is to hoping

Looks pretty good, way better than that "dealer option" exhaust pic floating around AZ somewhere. This job is pretty clean.

I wish there were pics of it from a bit further away. Definitely wouldn't look as good without that diffuser. The exhaust tips look AMG type too.

These pictures just make me wish that Acura had a real M3, AMG, etc fighter and not just a couple tacky add on pieces. Just imagine a TLX with a performance exhaust similar to the pics, wider fenders, better wheels and tires, and maybe one or two turbos on top of the current V6. If they want to be a luxury brand, they need to start acting like one and do things that other luxury brands do. It really is pretty obvious what they need, and doesn't require the money? they spend on dozens of focus groups.

Every single luxury mark has a performance division, save Lincoln and somewhat Infiniti. Even niche players like Volvo and Jaguar for crying out loud. Build something that people look up to, even if your main seller is the base version (ex: 320i and M3).

/End rant. Sorry, I love Acura but their decisions puzzle me.

edit: At the very least, add a few sporty colors to your so called "thrilling" car.

more pics from acuraconnected below. these are definitely AMG tips (you could almost see the lettering on top), as the angles and spacing between the outlets are a perfect match. i like how they shaved the rear lower reflectors to make space for the diffuser, similar to how they are higher up on the BMW M5 vs a regular, non M-sport 5er. Much cleaner and sportier.

Sure. I took bunch of pictures. Sadly, we cannot sit inside of NSX.
Unfortunately too expensive for most of us.

Most likely that's why they are not letting people in it.

All it needs now are the clear head and taillights from China/Russia to complete the look

"Tuner" TLX as a name??

I do like the custom one off parts on it though.

I like the overall look of the car but can't stand the red painted grill.

I don't know why but that TLX doesn't look good to me. I think the black and red just don't go together that well, it sort of looks like the owner went nuts with a bunch of cans of plastidip which kind of makes the car look cheap.
