I like them. It fills in the gap a little behind the front and rear wheels and looks more finished. This gap is one of the few things I don't like about the styling. However, it is not as bad as Accords. Even base 3 series have some funky looking gap and bumpers (not to mention halogen headlights).

The screws look exposed metal. Do you think they will rust? In my area, any metal will rust, i even change my plate screws. They rust and the rust runs and looks like crap.

Florida has lots of salt in the air humid as all get out, frankly I'm not sure if they will rust. But if they do it is so inexpensive to replace that I don't think about it. The fit and finish is great, and the paint is spot on.

From the pic, your left front tire looks to be a bit low. Nice looking car by the way.

Looking good! I like the look of just the splash guards on this model versus the aero kit.

Is your car Black Copper Pearl? The color has a brown tint to it in one of the shots.

Good job with the install.

On a different note, I wonder if the RDX calipers with the Acura logo on them fit on the TLX? Has anyone tried it? Personally, I think it would aesthetically nice on the TLX.

When I did my spring install, I tried to use the Acura logo caliper covers I had bought for my 4G. The rears fit okay but not the fronts.

I do think better looking calipers would nice to have.

I've been wondering this also... if some of the OEM Brembo brakes from another Acura model will swap over to the TLX. If someone figures out if they do, definitely a mod that I would be interested in

Crystal Black Pearl, yeah I was trying to touch up some photos to show the splash guards off some.

The splash guards add a nice touch to the exterior. Well worth it!
