one thing i have to say. if everyones going to beg and beg for parts to be made for the cl. you have to be willing to drop the doe. i see time and time again on the 2nd gen tl and 3rd gen tl side they get venders to make these products for their cars and people buy which makes the venders want to do more. but on the 2nd gen cl side you guys want and want but dont want to drop the money. if he goes out his way to make these kits i hope everyone follows through on buying them. otherwise i dont see people like heeltoe wanting to even entertain doing anything for cl's anymore. i myself am pretty much out of the game of serious modding for my cl but it would be nice to see the market continue to expand for others.

It would be cool if we had a front lip already made, and I just told my guys to just make that lip into an ABS vacuum formed mold, then we just make em. They would come prepped and primed, or they would come in CF textured ABS.

At this point I can see myself dropping $1k on a kit. If the splitter idea comes to fruition (and I hope it does) Ill go for that. Ive said it before, the CL needs something but Im not going to spend $1000 to get it. But $480 for a part that doesnt need to be painted is a very attractive option at this point.

You know, the front splitter we design for the TL will need some slight adjustment to the mold to fit the CL. With that said, we can offer the front splitter as an altermnative to our urethane front. So now you can opt to go one of three ways:

1.) Original RJ urethane kit currently offered on our site needs paint. ($1080 regular price or $780 GB price)
2.) Full Splitter kit in ABS plastic paintable or install as is. ($480- regular ABS through $680- CF ABS)
3.) Front splitter with Urethane sides and rear, would need paint. (estimated $720)

First we will be making the 4th Gen TL kit, then by the middle of that project, we will start the 2nd Gen TL splitter kit.

Civic, I am working on it, right after I finish the fine tuned 4G TL renders for the studio to build from. Between the 2nd Gen TL splitter and the 4G TL kit, I've been working non-stop, lol.

I would buy right now, but at the moment money is very tight for me so I can't spend money like I used to, but if I had the money I would buy this kit.

PS - Youve really transformed the 4G TL from Aztec-like ugliness to PT Cruiser ugliness. That is a compliment by the way, you can only work with what you got, and the 4G TL isnt much.

It's tough to find anything acceptable for the CL. I've been looking for a while now and have decided to either leave it or mold the TL lip.

Had a feelin.. Shame that the only bolt on kits for this car , to me personally are all over the top... Too much rice for me

TL modification is the best bet so it seems...

Thanks
