Kinda looks like a Type S
Have the rear under body spoilers ready to be installed. I am leaning towards factory front Brembos from the Type S. After cosmetics the performance mods will follow. I have in Type R turbo has already been purchased. Down pipe, upgraded intercooler and Ktuner along with a dyno tune will finish her off. So far I am loving the car. I look forward to driving her everyday.

Those wheels are perfect on that car! I was on the fence between the white and the MSM - you're making me think I should have gone with MSM!
That's some nice looking grass for your part of the country!

you did well going with white. that was my first choice but Acura kept on pushing the build date back so I went with MSM instead. we have to water constantly or the grass just fries here in Texas lol.

Can I ask where and how much you paid of the front splitter and any installation kit? Did you install it yourself?

I might need to invest in that front splitter. I've been waiting for someone to come out with something for all of us to look at (in regards to an aftermarket front splitter). I did add the Acura Aspec aero kit-to get some beefiness for the car. I've decided not to do any engine mods unless they're inexpensive and bolt-on. But painting the calipers red might be in my future.

"This is a new replacement front lip splitter for a 2021+ Acura TLX Type-S. Replace your damaged or broken front splitter with a new Genuine OEM part, straight from Acura. With necessary mounting hardware (available separately) this lip can also be fitted to standard TLX models (***will not work with the optional Acura accessory front under spoiler set***)."

Pretty sure the documentation states the front underbody spoiler is not compatible with the OEM front splitter. The front underbody spoiler is not an option on the Type-S (side and rear are). Below is from a site selling the OEM front splitter...

Very nice looking car. If it has a badge of typeS no one can't tell it's not a typeS. By the way is installing the front splitter need to remove the whole bumper the same as installing front under spoiler.
