i just found a lip kit for the cl from canada lol

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-02-03-A...sories&vxp=mtr



hot or not ?

im going with not lol

 

I'll pass in the $470 body kit.

 

Move to the CL side?

 

The sides look good.
It's hard to see the rear although it would be nice to see a straght shot from the rear.
I dont like how the front lip comes up high on the side.

If they sell seprate pieces the sides would be a good idea to get since that would be one piece you would not have to chop up to get the look of the tl kit.

If the rear fits and clears exhaust nicely then that to would be a good choice too.

if the front could be fixed up on the sides and have the vent holes filled so it would not look cheap then the front could work,then and only then the kit would be a good choice.

 

If you look at the sellers sale feedback comments there are alot of quality and fitment complaints.

 

No thanks. Its FRP, not polyurethane so itll crack on the first impact.

 

^ yep, and your money is wasted.
But the kit would have potential in the right hands, if it was poly.

 

Yea, it would be nice to have a subtle kit on the market for our car. I love the RJ sides and rear but the front is a bit much for me.

 

99-01 TL front lip?

 

i like the pure-p body kit better than the ron jon myself.

 

says the person with a RJ kit CL as his avatar...

 

i like them both i just like to pure p more ok there funny man

 

Not a fan of the Pure-P/Versus kit. Its too busy.

 

agreed, the gap in the front lip doesn't look right imo.

to give my about the ebay 03 2g kit for CL, not hot since its FRP, if PU then yes I'd get it.

 

Yeah there's a local place around here that makes TL lip kits out of fiberglass, I'm guessing this is the same company or related somehow.

I'm actually pretty intrigued by this. Maybe not the front lip, but the side skirts and rear lip would be ideal. Find a OEM TL front lip and it's butter. I'd imagine you could get away with fiberglass sides and rear as long as you don't drive like a retard, it's usually the front lip that takes the beating and scraping. This would save a lot of modifying work and money.

 

True. But as someone stated above, the sellers feedback leave a lot to be desired.

 

Yea like I said in the sellers feedback for his fiberglass lips alot of people ended up returning them. Fitment issues, no mounting tabs or anything to mount it, the kit is wavy, etc. I would think this would be about the same amount of work to get it to look good as the oem tl kit.

Also the fact that the pics are far away and dont show much is a warning i think. Looks like you can see a gap where the exhaust cutout is too. Those vents in the front lip would need to be filled in you can see stock bumper behind it. Could turn out good or could be a headache just gotta ask yourself if it is worth it.

Also is it just me or doesn't it look like he just forced a fiberglass kit for the 02-03 tl to fit? Also it says oem style lip kit in description but cl didn't have a oem lip so how could it be same style. It is style of the 02-03 oem tl kit.

 

Yea, its definitely the post-mmc TL kit.

 

a few years ago we tried to get this company in Toronto to make a CL kit....maybe this is the same company? I bought fiberglass sides for my kit meant for the TL....cut them and moulded them. Definitely a lot harder to work with.

 

I still love this 1 some post pic

I like the red '03 more.

 

ITs the same car I spoke to the owner once it was painted & the kit I'd from a g35. Just molded to a Cl stock bumper

 

Yea, but the interior is different and not as ricey.

 

Ima b a test dummy cuz I ordered it ill keep ya posted on fitment issues

 

Dnt think the grills would have to b filled due to factory tls kit its not and it looks fine

 

found next guy with kit cheaper and has raw parts to show

will be posting when i receive my set

he also sells all parts-front or rear lips and sides

http://www.ebay.com/itm/220943186515...#ht_922wt_1270

 

it says its made of resoflex fpr. (fiberglass). if a kit aint polyurethane i dont mess with it. just my

 

any updates?

 

So far have the lip kit side skirts are a bit wavy and there are no mounting tabs Wat so ever but I will post pics of it on my car wen I'm done

 

im not surprised at all.

 

 

Ok so here's a update ppl front and sides fit perfect but rear is a disaster were the exhaust cutout on the bumper still shows above rear lip

 

Pic

 

well that blows! that was the only part of the kit i was considering

 

next place selling them is http://www.lipkit.ca

raw kit pictures are there

 

guess i need to break it down. DO NOT buy these replica kits. the TL kit is NOT plug and play. there is cutting etc involved in making this kit work. the replica kits are made out of fiberglass which is brittle as hell and the oem kit is polyurethane which can stand a lot of force. im only trying to help you new guys out before you waste your money. i can bet money these replica kits will not come out looking as good as the oem kits look on the CL.

 

There comes a point in time where you get sick of repeating yourself over and over again. I have already reached it. Let them learn on their own

 

i know what you mean. i mean i did have the the same oem kit on my car and watched EVERY step it took my shop to do it. so i think i know what im talking about. im just trying to help some fellow CL guys out. but hey they can waste there money if they want too. theres a reason that every CL member that has done this kit has never done it in fiberglass.

 

do you think $1500 is a fair quote to get the oem lip kit fully moulded and painted? i have it, just trying to find a shop to do it for cheap.

 

This seems like the same company I bought my Mugen rep sides from for my 06 Civic Si. The fitment was terrible and I ended up paying out the ass to fix all the issues. Never again will I go with fiberglass.
