Yea the second one is real nice. I still like the sema better. I dunno why, but i really like the gill section on the sema kit makes the cl look like a barracuda imo.

I like the second set better as well. The first set might look good without those two extra vents on the sides. I do like the tie in to the newer TL. In the second set, maybe reduce the cut line above the fogs a little. Very nice though.

I like the second one a lot, but I don’t know if I’d be able to buy it on a car that I drive in the SNOW.
Keep up the good work though. I’m sure you’ll sell quite a few of them here.
Figure every 10 people that say “HOLY SHIT I’LL BUY THAT IN A SECOND !!!” you’ll probably get one serious buyer.

RonDog, would you consider something a tad more conservative, yet still aggressive ?
1. Larger lower grill opening
2. Less fog light duct opening
3. Less buck-tooth, Z3 spoiler looks
4. Less crease line above fog lights.
Just my 2 cents, and I would buy this front if it was Eurethane...

That 2nd one is very hot, and without the lights its very clean. Much props to you. You are very talented. Hope you can really make this happen

version 2 looks way better than the sema imo.
what would a ball park figure be on a full un-painted kit?
what would the minimun threshold (guaranteed buyers) be to implement production?
looks REALLY nice... i would get it for the simple fact it makes the car look less outdated....

U're very good w/ PS, you know most TL owners are professionals w/ families (hence 4-door sedan), and your TL bumper is a too radical, like it came from MadMax (not meant to be an insult, just too aggressive & radical).
IMO, I think you would have a better TL market if your TL bumper design was more classy-conservative, are you willing to design something like the Audi RS8 or M5 bumper-ish ?

here's the latest rendition, i just have to keep working on it until it has "it" and i feel like it's ready. this sin't something I would exactly rush to do, i have alot of investment in the wheels right now, but as soon as some profit starts to build I am goin to put it into developing these kits.

Would you develop a rear bumper & side skirts also, or no? I actually think the Versus side sills and a molded Versus rear lip would look pretty nice with the revised front bumper. I definitely like the look of the latest revision much better than the original. I would strongly consider buying it if the price is reasonable and build quality is good.

RONDOG great idea .. im really interested in this kit ... just a question though wouldn't it be easier and cheaper for you and us to just make a clean lip kit like the TL? Just a thought..
