Sweet man, I still prefer the Erebuni big fat ass rear end but the front clip you did is sweet!!! Side skirts and grill are nice too. I think those fender flares would have worked well, let us put some deeper dish rims. Have to do a widebody kit when everything else is done on my ride...motor work first for me.

LOL I KNOW that, i just wasn't sure about the wing, that's all. I am gonna be getting the front lip and that wing for sure. If I go full kit, I have to get the eribuni rear, it's just too big and fat not to want !! LOL (If that makes sense!?)

that sucks to wannna hook up ur ride and worry about la jacking up ur ride..
ur guys think that the eribuni rear looks good? it looks funny too me but that just what i think, if u like u like. but i do like eribuni side skirts, i think tlxracer kit its off the hook and im sticking to it, plus theres no other who makes kits for our ride, theres tlxracer right, theres eribuni, and that all right? oh there is jtautostlye but that front looks like a frog too sporty.

mix and match i wouldn't do it... but thats just my opinion... for sure i'm thinking of TLxRaCeR's kit... i'm still debateing with myself if i like the wing or not though... w/o the spoiler the car looks a lot more cleaner and sleek... but with the wing... i don't know if it really takes from that, makes it sportier... or is it just me... might go with the OEM spoiler... either way... i have to get the full kit... can't wait till my car is fixed... and for this kit to be out...

Its looking great man... keep it up... the fenderflares are pretty cool... IMO Wide Body kit would look Awsome though... any chances of that...??? again... keep up the good work... can't wait till it comes out...

Normally Spook, I'd agree, but TLXRacer's front clip is nice and clean, and similar in style to the Erebuni REAR clip I think. It's just the lines on the sides I don't like really, I just prefer a more rounded look without the accent lines. Like as if you were to blow up the factory rocker panels and make them a little bullkier, you know? That's all, just my personal preference. I want to put something like that together for mine. BUT AS I SAID BEFORE...The Inspired kit IS STILL SWEET looking!!!! :P

those rims are off the hook
that spoiler is off the hook

the kit is pretty nice. not insect looking-ya know?

the grill and eyebrows though are not my style. i have my grill now and it is flushed and i dont think i would like the recessed look of that grill. i may be ab;e to grow on it.
the eyebrows on the other hand are def. the big negative from me. i mean hey they do make the car look different, but it makes the 3.2TL loook like the legend headlights. they really look similar with the eyebrows. i like everything else. definately

i like the whole wide body look i think it makes the car looks diffrent but clean. there not alot off showoff tls out there. i like tlxracer style alot i think after putting his kit im going to do the flarefinder too, im not trying to be a copycat cause i have my own style but that is sweet to me.

ok.. i changed my mind again... the secret i was going to show you guys in a few weeks was going to be an all metal widebody, but now i am going to pursue the fender flares once again... i've been getting emails requesting if we were going to make the fender flares for the public... i need info... how many of you guys would be interested in the fender flares if i was to sell them for around $320-400? mind you, they will be made from fiberglass and not polyurethane.. if i can get at least ten people to pre-order them, i will make them into production.. since the fender flares are not completely designed, you guys only have a rough idea on how the fender flares will look.. i'll be working on the flares and post the progress on them as soon as i can..

you can count on me... but first thing first... my suspension... once i get that down then i'll be able to get you the 3 to 4 bills you need to pre-order... depends if my Insurance is going to hook me up with a new redone suspension from the stealership... or are they going to take an estimate of it and give me a check ... either way... i'm more into the all metal widebody... but getting the flares in the mean time would be awsome... will they come out with the kit??? or will they be out later then the kit???

Besides... the flares would be cool... since i need new rims... meaning more space w/o it looking ghetto...

All i can say is that there is no one out there (except erebuni) that has taken the time nor MONEY to invest in a project like this which CAN be a money looser, for that I commend TLX. As soon as I get some cash together, and the Acura off the grips of the wife I am planning on installing the kit as well as raising the car... Fender flares not really sure cause I am not in the market for new rims, I was just planning on re-chroming mine. But once I go to my buddies shop and he tells me something that Id like to hear about rims, its a possibility. All I know is that once these cars start getting the KIT on and My car gets debadged, people are going to be like OOOHH SHITT .. what is that????

See now I like those sideskirts!! (The rest is damned fugly as far as I'm concerned!! I don't like wide mouth's on CIVIC's or 'TEG's nevermind on a 1st gen TL) I think the ultimate package would be Erebuni rear, Inspired grill, front clip and wing and the JT sides.... Just my personal pref, thats all. I actually think it would look good together too, it would all match nicely.

Just my usual

a metal wide body is: basically you cut out your fenders/ rear quarter panels/ rear doors, extend the cut peices, and weld on sheet metal to create a "widebody"

the kit is very simple to install if you know how to use a drill/screw driver.. the kit is installed with double sided tape and tap screws. the double sided tape is already taped on the parts so all you have to do is peel and tape accordingly.. tap screws also provided with the kit as well as an illustration on where to tap in the screws..

regarding shipping:

shipping will be on average from 150-200.. all our kits are shipped through freight companies due to the sizes of the boxes. the best i can offer is to combine shipping up to 2, maybe 3 kits to one location. i recommend the guys interested in our products to find others in your area to save on the cost of shipping. We do not make money off the shipping so i'm just offering this to help save people on shipping..

Please correct me if i'm wrong - so you'd have to drill holes in your bumper etc. right?

Which means that if u wanted to take the kit off u'd have holes in the front and rear bumpers and sideskirts.

i dont think i like that ideal of cutting, i think i stick with just add on. i like the flare fenders with that body kit just the way it is, just add on mold and blend then paint, i dont like cutting plus too much money, but i still like to see ur finish project..
