A friend of mine did a little Photoshopping on a picture of my TL and this is what he came up with. Yay? Nay?

Personally I'm hoping this gets made. I'd love to see this dropped on some 20s.

Honestly I'm not feeling the front. IMO I think go with oem all around which will look nice with your color.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the front either. Plus if it was lowered there would be very minimal ground clearance.

Do you (or does anyone) have pics from multiple angles of the OEM kit on my color? I saw it on the customizer on Acura's site, but it makes the front end look really bad.

I should say - keep in mind too that this came from someone who hasn't seen either the car or the kit in real life. He just Photochopped the kit as best as possible from pics of cars on Ron Jon's site to a pic I took of my car. The kit might not actually hang that low in real life. In case you haven't seen it, here are the pics of the kit on an 09-11. I think it looks awesome:

If they come out with the '12 kit I'll get it for sure... unless the OEM kit looks almost as good. I'd rather not have to pay a place to match paint, and I know the OEM kits come painted. They just didn't look that good to me on Acura.com.

Unfortunately I don't have any photos on your color, I've photos of mine car with different angles so maybe your friend can change the color and that way you have a better idea, your friend did well on your photoshop.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's not going to happen. I spoke to Ron personally and they will never produce a kit for the 2012.

i64X

That sucks. Looks like someone else will have to take my $1000

jiggaman

i'll take it!

birdy*feet

Yeah it does!!! I posted about this somewhere else, but basically we would have to revert back to the 2011 setup which is not exactly a direct job... It would be a total pain and not worth it IMO. I got the factory "kit" as it's all I could find as an option. Meh.

i64X

That's ok. I can wait. The cart has only been out a year. I'm sure someone will come up with something before the model switch. That kit looks great on the 09-11s though. In the mean time I've got coilovers and wheels to worry about. :-)

Here is my...

What kit is that? Sides look like the RJ sides, but the front looks a little different.

Did you get an RJ kit and pay someone to modify it to fit or something?

That looks hot!

Edit: I just found your thread. Modification to the front lip looks interesting. How close were the sides to fitting exactly? Did they just fit as normal or did they require modification as well?

KB1Spec

iTrader: (4)

Front and side are RJ Kit. Front need to modify as it only fit for the 09-11. Kit not 100% direct fit onto 2012 and up unfortunately.

i64X

It looks sweet. You did a good job.

Edward'TLS

How involved is the mod in order to fit the front ?

i64X

It looks REALLY REALLY close to fitting. I'm wondering if the areas around the two black inlet openings on the front had to be modified at all. That's the only part that I think I'd be sketched out about if I was trying to do this myself, due to the fact that they're curved surfaces. I would be comfortable shaving anything else that needed to be shaved on a straight surface.

For the sides and back I think I'd just go with the OEM pieces, since they're already painted and they'd be really easy to install, but I REALLY like that front lip much better than the OEM front lip. I like the RJ rear better too, but I just got done staring at some pics of the back of a stock 11 and 12 and the RJ kit from their site, and it looks like the back would be much more difficult to make work due to the rear bumper being so much different.

Front 2 support clips needs to be trimmed off completely. 09-11 bumper center are more sharper than the 2012 and up. So the front lip needs to be push in and flush against the 2012 bumper. It's a pretty tedious modification.

Another thing is that it is VERY hard to match up pearl white. I have to leave my car out of the sun pretty much everyday to blend in the body of the car.

i64X

Were the sides easier to make work than the front?

KB1Spec...that looks really good!! I am not a huge fan of the drop but no question that the kit looks really good on the 2012! I am envious

sides works on 09-up. So direct fit.

types1fan

Hey KB that looks hot as hell. I thought I was done with the Ronjon body kit because I got rid of my 09. So I'll be calling Ron and see how fast I can get that bodykit. Hey KB what do you have for the rear? The 2012 rear or what, can u post some pics of your 12 rear.

I can't see the image here but I can see it on my iphone, weird

Your color looks sick with oem spoiler kit.

AEmedic

iTrader: (1)

That is odd, I can't see it on here either. I could see it when I first posted it but not on a refresh...

Edward'TLS

Try posting the pics again.

Steven Bell

Very nice, the aero kit blends nice with the color

Hate to be so critical, but it looks too "tacked on", almost corolla-kit-like with the middle of the front being missing and all.

Looks good AEmedic! I like the new silver moon it looks real nice

AEmedic

Thanks guys! I really enjoy the TL and the Aero kit gives it a little additional personality. Since it is the only real option for my 2012 TL I'm glad I like it!

Edward'TLS

We all know.

So why don't you go and start making a 2012 TL body kit for us, just like the one you did for the pre-2012 TL.

Steven Bell

Rondy, they're calling for you!

i64X

I agree, sadly. The skirts look good IMO, but the front and rear remind me of a early 2000s Grand Am... Which makes me sad, since Ron Jon will be showing no love for the '12-'14s and my hope of a sexy kit is in the toilet. :-(

Oem kit looks best on cbp, good also on silver, and white.
ronjon kit looks good also - just a little more aggresive than oem

Where can I buy this oem lip? Can anybody send me the website and look under what to find it

carbonTSEX

You can buy the oem lip kit from the Acura dealer.
