All CL owners w/ TL lip kits unite (w/ pics)

I searched at least 7 pages deep for "TL lip kit" and nothing came up. I dont know any of the names of people that have these kits on their CL, but I would like to see pics. Can people post up pics or tell me the names of some people on here who have it done? Preferebly SSM because that is what I have, but other colors will work too.

Thanks

Tl Kit

I am in the process of getting a body kit! I was thinking about the TL kit on my CL, but I hear it needs to be custom molded in its place to fit the CL.

I wonder how much extra that will cost, on top of the paint you will have to pay for and installation.

The TL kit doesn't "have to" be custom molded. You can modify it how you want. Come to think of it, ANY body kit can be custom for your car if you're willing to dump the $$ to make it fit. Just make sure you take it to a body shop that does good work.

Brian,

Really it doesnt need to be custom molded to fit? It will fit nicely? That is true any kit can fit your car if you put extra $$$$.

Yeah can I see a pic of your car? *wink* Especially the side view of the car, no angles please!

I guess you will have to go with another option for a kit?

I am thinking about the Ron Jon 2nd Gen Kit.

Some others are in my mind also.

The TL kit looks niccce Brian!

That's a nice one but you would be a fool to buy it with a salvaged title and no tranny warranty.

-kevin799 something like that has one on a Anthracite TL.
-I've seen pics of one on a SSM CL posted in the black market before.
-There was an ABP CL-S that was probably one of the first. His car is the one on www.c-c-c.net for the TL kit.
-jdmcl had just the front lip on his car with the versus sides and rear
-withoutcomp has the TL front molded and the versus sides and rear molded to his CL. Its also painted a burnt copper color.

Those are all that I can remember.
