luckily if the paint shop is good, they'll fix it, but the front lip will look like ass, the rest of the kit will look meh.

rims are ass, i'd rather rock stockies

i agree id get some 5 spokes from the TL. they look so sweet on that model. the kit is ok, im sure once its matched itll be better. but the front needs to be swapped, not only cause of the paint, but the giant gap in the middle, just doesnt go with this car. think classy...

I actually don't think it looks too bad, or at least I'm willing to reserve judgment until it's painted. I definitely think the next thing you should spend money on is getting your car detailed. That shit is filthy.

I like the side skirts and the back, but the front lip looks like a humongous version of the molded tl lip. Not really feelin the front lip or the wheels. Maybe it will look better painted though.

i may sound like a noob but, what does ftl & ftw mean? as for the car get it paint then post pics, IMO i would have wheels color matched the car (just the black part) i think that would look sick! why ur at it color match errthing like the molding'sdoor handle's, grill, rearview mirrors..... just paint the whole damn car!
