Yeah, thanks. I was going to get a new TL, kit it out, lower it, throw some Devotion-1pF's on it and mod the hell out of the rest of it, but I decided to keep mthe CL until Acura does something new with the TL or until they come out with a new Coupe. This kit and the mirror polished 19" / 20" Devo-1pFs will def put the car right back into a fresh state of being.

Alot of times a kit will look like it doesn't belong on a car, even tho it looks good standing alone. Just swapping a bumper from one car to another can look kinda out of place. But I promise, once it is done and shot properly, it will look factory and give the CL a more muscular yet classy appearance. The front of the CL without our kit really looks too rounded underneath, the opposite of the aftermarket today. The TSX and TL are a perfect examples of where Acura's automotive design is headed, with straight vertical panels that give the illusion of shorter overhangs. The OEM CL tends to remind me of the linocln Mark VIII, where as this one will look more like a modern Acura.

I definitely agree w/ you guys. The front needs alot of rounding. If it could come out like the photoshop photos that Rod originally had, the kit will come out really nice.

says "hello to my TLX".
sweet. no i know you guys took into consideration all the input during the creation of the kit. after all, that was one of the purposes for this thread. so is it safe to say you won't need the bike for the meet after all.

That I don't know... Though it's complete, it still needs to be formed into Urethane and painted, test fitted, and finalized... Definitely by the meet after next

Quick Q?: 2-3 week for molds? or 2-3 for fully painted?

Painting shouldn't be that long, that 2-3 week for painting is for regular orders, I would say that they will go straight thru for you on the first one.

yeah man, I don't know about those corners on the front. I thought it would be smoothed out more to stay with the shape/lines of the bumper instead of protruding out so much.

Fellas, the front lip lines match the upper ,part of the bumper's lines pefectly, We don't want thelip to come to a point while ,the bum per is squared off. We rounded the corner's slightly and I plan to round them off just a tad bit more, but too round and it will become like an arrow head all pointy and out of relation to the rest of the OEm bumper. Besides, these pics are very hard to tell how it will flow, with a medium gray on a white car, just won't have the flow of a monotone painted bumper. Give it a chance, I've seen this in person and it has way more visual impact and flow than in these Work in progress pics. I was kinda skeptical on building a kit for the CL, even 3 years after the car was discontinued, but you guys are really making me feel like it was a mistake. At least I like it and it'll be on my car. But damn, its a real expensive kit if done like that. looks like I'm gonna only produce fewer than 25 and let those guys enjoy the exclusivity. We'll see what happens once it's painted and installed.
