Black A-Spec Front Paint Matched
Because if I had my way we would un-invent Chrome. Looks much better without it.

It really toned down the look of the huge grill and emblem also. I'm still not a fan of how big the Acura emblem is but not much else I could do.

I-MOD, Clean mod. Looks good. Can you please post a side shot of your ASpec? I'm curious how the eibach springs sit. Thanks.

I did a trunk swap with my 2015 TLX because I liked that spoiler better that the lip spoiler. Dropped on Eibach springs and did the G2 Caliper paint.

Nice! Looks great. Can you do a pic from the rear to show the spoiler when you can? I like how the Eibach springs sit, not too low, but it gets rid of that stock gap. Are those springs for pre 2018 TLX's?

I'm a huge fan of gloss black, or black chrome as some call it. That is a beautiful ride OP!

Thanks to I-MOD, I went for a similar mod as well - love it!

Satin black vinyl was used to match the front grill's bezel, the Acura logo bezel, the fog light bezels and front lip at the bottom

Thanks! I love it! I just took it to a guy locally in the Seattle area and asked him to black out the chrome parts around the grill.

No problem, good luck! If you are in Seattle, I recommend Wu Wraps in Renton; Mark Wu does a fantastic job.
