Mine is a 2nd gen TL wings west front, modified to fit. By modified I mean cut into 3 pieces and moulded to the bumper, gaps filled. I cut the flares off the sides.

no sorry, but it's just beefier than the regular aspec. and has exhaust cutouts. Getting it to fit would be the same deal. You'd just have to make sure the exhaust cutouts line up with yours or have your muffler tips modified after. the WW lips are super bendy which helps.

that is the one i used. instead of cutting it into multiple pieces, i just cut the excess of the 2 ends off at the wheel wells and epoxied the backs back on.

i knew someone had done it before.

how much did you have to cut?

how did it fit along the back of bumper?

any pics of fitment before you molded it?

probably 2 inches or so cut off flush with the wheel well, i cant remember. i started in middle of rear and tacked it on with screws to hold in place as i went around the corners. once your satisfied everything is even then sharpie the line onto the bumper so you know where to place it when you permanently attach. once the end caps are off, as i said cut off the little tab part and put that back on the rear lip to give it a finished look. here is a few pics

the WW front I cut into 3 pieces and filled the gaps. I can see how DL fit the rear as my gaps there weren't that big, but in the front there were some decent gaps. Fill those gaps with material you cut off the sides skirts.

Thanks I took a look at all your threads before asking as I was hoping to get some shots before you actually molded it plus some of those pics were a bit blurry when I tried to zoom in, but thanks anyway I pulled the trigger 2 days ago, I'll post some pics up after I install it

Hmmm yeah thanks I see DL does his own body work and I guess you do too, but I dont, I'll do a test fit maybe but that's it so thanks anyway I'll post some pics after
