Lightbulb ILX/RLX headlight swap

I was curious how each model would look with the other's headlights, given how similar they are in shape (would be interesting to know if they actually fit). IMO they actually look better with the other's headlights

New MMC ILX:

New Base RLX:

I dont think the pictures look to great. But I think ANY Acura would look great with the new jewel eye headlights. Id love to put RLX headlights on my ILX.

I thought the RLX headlights were a bit longer than ours?

I put Jewel Eye's in place of the High beams here. I think it's better executed for the lower end models (ILX, RDX, Base TLX, Base CLX Coupe ) and just let the higher end models ( MDX, RLX ) get the full treatment.

Gotta look closely.

Seriously... Timmy.

I think Acura was so worried abou pricing into the market already as they thought everyone would say it's a glorified Civic... so that's why it wasn't implemented.

yea, the fact that you can create these chops to help them visualize shit is great...f*ck whoever is working there. Heck, they rely to much on market research to determine their designs.

Those look a lot like what I thought timmy posted a little while back. I could be wrong.

Those renderings look great but its not a very drastic change. Id like to see what he can do with some wheel rendering.

The small details count the most.

hahaha I thought someone jacked your pictures. At least people know your renders by one of your usernames. haha

I didnt mean to come off as negative when I said it wasnt a drastic change. Just that it was simple.

Ah nah, it's fine.

..and yeah, I wished I had made all of my user names the same when I made the accounts. They all have the same email, but not user name, so..

Sorry for the overly complicated mess that I'm always putting you guys through.
