If George Jetson had a front bumper, it would be this one.

Well, that settles it, Since there is an ovewhelming amount of you that like it, I think I'll get one for the front, and one for the rear and fab it up!


After that I think I'll swap in a B18Turbo too!

every kit on a car like this will be "ricey" b/c the car shouldn't even go to that level at all. now with the kit for our cars that ive seen, this one is better than most [except RJ and lip kit of course]. its clean from the side, but the front scoop on the front of the car is a bit much. either way i never got why anyone wants to put a kit on the CL which is so sleek and smooth as it is. only thing i can see is because the car sits high.

idk, im a fan of the completely stock look since people dont know what our cars can do, then surprise...

After taking a long look at it I would say that it is probably not right for the car. My reasoning would be that the CL has a distinct line down the hood, grill, and bumper. That kit has a rounded front end and I just can't see it matching up to well in real life. On a side note I also wasn't impressed with the side skirts but they were the best part of the kit and they were just boring. As for the rear....thoses little "wings" behind the rear wheels are just wrong. I see some unique ideas from the rear but the end product just missed the mark so to say. Reguardless....its your car and in the end you have to like it. I personally would like to see someone do it just to see what it looks like in real life to see if it holds true to my opinions.

Of course there is the RONJON kit (kind of partial to this one....go figure), the Verse Kit, and the modified TL kit which seem to be everyones top three. Then there are the other kits that are on that site and e-bay which most people will agree just don't seem to work.

Alexcls02 - for the price what "better" kit are you referring to?

Okay, check this out: The front lip looks like somebody broke into SAAB's design facilities and stole the plans to one of their reject ideas off of the cutting room floor. The side skirts and the rear looks like somebody took the aero kit from an early 90's S/C Thunderbird and hot glued it to that CL-S.

That car looks like it's sitting on top of Star Trek space barge.

LOL ahhaha very true... That body kit looks like ass, best bet IMO is the tl lip. KEEP IT CLEAN!! From a design stand point, even the ronjon lip sticks out too far, but it way better than that pos. SAAB's will be good soon enough... give'em 3-5 years....

Straight ass. With that body kit that car looks like it should be pulling a commuter train in downtown Tokyo.

I mean, damn, if they're going to do some drastically hideous garbage like stick a galactic yard rake on the front of the car they could at least think up a design for some kind of mutated, Barbarella, 1970's Porsche 930 Whale Tale design for the trunk to balance the retardation going on in the front of the car.
