i don't think lime green or orange really go with this car, which while aimed at the sporty end of the market would still need a mature image to appeal to people cross-shopping it with ES350s, ISs, 3ers, low-end 5ers etc.

as for the design, it's absolutely fantastic. menacing, sporty but very distinctively acura. the front end might be a bit too pointy, actually; from an angle it might look a bit over the top. but still, i love it. please please please do a 3/4 view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you've inspired me to enter now, i've been kinda "eh" on entering so far even though i would like to have a try at redesigning the TL...

Agreed SV, hah i guess i was just having fun messing around with all sorts of different colors, Im glad i inspired you to get out the pencils and paper on this contest. To be honest i was also bleak about this contest, but doodled that front end and thought it looked pretty mean so rendered it and it turned out really cool.
As you say its a very over the top design. And thats exactly what i wanted, boring, coventional designs arent the way forward. I look forward to your entry SV, hope its even more radical than mine =D
Thanks SV and NelsonDesign for your comments

If I saw that front end coming up behind me in my rear view mirror, i'd get the f**k out of the way and probably leave a brown stain on my seats! Very VERY menacing front end!

I like!
