1.) use a bigger picture

2.) suck less at photoshop

3.) your watermarking is obnoxious and unnecessary. No one is going to steal your shitty image

They are easily the ugliest new cars that are on the road right now.

The back end is disgusting and the front end just look bad.

Grill looks much better, but I'd do away with the lines and just leave it blank.

You also brought the profile of the hood down to the edge. I'd redo it and keep the original line of the hood, but it is an improvement.

I made the hood go down a little lower to prevent a big *** gaping hole in the front, lol. Also made the hood come down to a point, maybe its the 3 line adidas addition?

Your grille lines aren't straight, hence my initial criticisms

To be fair, it does look better...just not professional.

i brought this up in another thread yesterday, but I was given a loaner 2009/2010 TL on saturday while my tsx was getting serviced, and besides the ugly as sin front end, the car was pure badass. Sticker was in the glovebox, 36k little too much for me, but great car none the less.

It's a beautiful car(specially from the rear)... stop bitching just cause it's unique. i would imagine honda will change that front in no more than 2-3 years.

I like the ones where they replaced all the chrome with color-matched paint.

While unique-looking, I still like the last generation better though.

I like the new TL seeing it in person. Pictures look like crap. I dunno.
