Thanks, we're working on getting the rear of the kit to cover the cutting needed for the OEM Acura kit, man what a mess...

More pics in the next few days.

update, only 3 spots left for the first 15 kits are pre-order pricing.

Would that fit the 2012?

We'll see, I know the sides will fit, and the front most liekly, but the rear would need either work, or you can probably get the 2011 rear bumper and use that instead.

Hey! When did you get the legend type II's. I thought you had another set of wheels on there? They look great - color is right on with the color of the car.

I don't know how much you were thinking, but I would probably pay about ~$200-300 for a quality roof wing with very good fitment.

Decided on it finally? I know you were talking about that last year, didn't know if you wanted to get rid of your sick CL for the TL... but you could seriously make it a beast (and probably get a killer deal as the 2012's come out).

I'm interested in the roof spoiler as well. I was interested in the body kit, but man riding on the 19" HPT's some of these areas with speed bumps and funky entry and exit driveways are killing car around town with lower clearances.

Is your car lowered or getting that with the stock ride height? I scrape my front lip a good bit with the 3G lip kit.. mostly on entering driveways, parling lots.. grrrr

+1

Same here. I still get the "ughhh" moment on 19's going up/down steep/uneven driveways

the 19" wheels do not change the ground clearance from the 17" or 18", the tire size compensates for the change in wheel size. And you can't compare the 3G to the 4G in regards to ground clearance let alone two different bodykits.

At this point, we are working hard to bring the kit out asap, rather than biting off more than we can chew with the roof spoiler. That will have to wait until we get the kit done.

The roof spoiler will only be available to those who purchase the full kit, it is going to be an exclusive item.

Just got word, we are starting the molds, the right and left sides are done, I think we just have to adjust the rear to cover the portion of the bumper that was cut for the OEM kit (banging head). few crude pics coming soon.

On a side note, I might be over analyzing this kit, but I am going down to the mm trying to adjust every line and crease to make sure it looks perfect, as well as designing the splitter to match the bar on the grille and finally designing the rear portion to look decent on the OEM bumper as well as the cut up bumper that some cars needed when they installed the OEM kit. Taking a bit longer than expected with the back and forth revisions, but the final product will be worth it.

Thanks for taking the time to design the kit for those of us who already have the OEM kit and might want to change
