Just a test fit, will all go in for paint sometime next week.







Versus sides, versus rear (not pictured) and 03 TL-S front lip. I didnt screw or tape them on as i was just testing how they fit.

I think it looks cool with two-tone im gonna keep it this way!

 

never really was a fan of the versus sides/rear... you car's gonna be silverbulit40's twin

 

did that tl lip fit perfectly? or was it modified? O.o

 

I think it's gonna look nimbly bimbly good. Meow.

 

Its a modified lip, fits like a glove. I take it in the 10th to get painted

 

what did you have to modify on it? It doesnt look modified?

 

The previous owner, TranceFusion a member here on AZ had done all the modification.

 

i cant wait to see it when its painted

 

just a note, the front, make sure the sides of the front flow with the bumper vertically, unless you already had that in mind.

 

something looks off about the front lip. the sides by the wheel wells are dipping in bigtime....is it like that on the TL? and it looks like its frowning or something. you should see if the body shop can straighten it out and have it molded on before it gets painted

 

No it looks like that because its sagging, i did not screw it down at all, just hanging there. This is the same lip on the previous car..

 

i'm still not fond of the vents below the lights but looks good.
hint hint hint

 

Yeah that does look sick like that. I think with my car being ABP they will not be very noticeable though

 

do it right and it'll look

 

off topic: What are you dropped on?

 

ahh!! i shoulda bought it off of him when i met up with him! didnt know it would go that quick. haha

 

eibach springs, koni yellows

 

i disagree 100%. it will be noticable! i think it looks too busy with the vents on the front because of the 03 fairings. it only looks ok on silverbullit's car cause he was running the roadlamps, so there was only one set of vents. with your application you would have 4 vents on the front of the car

have them filled!

 

almost looks like an Accord v6 front lip from the 7th Gen without the vents.

 

mold the side skirts

 

thats a good thing

 

might crack due to body roll =[

 

don't use elmers glue or bondo and they will not crack.

 

haha i guess he still hasnt researched the molding process

 

sadly no, been working on my current project... i like to finish one thing before i start the next...

but i said that because i asked someone who did do the tl lip kit... asked him for advice about molding the side skirts (rj side skirt at that time) he said due to body roll it may crack....

and my friend's brother did get a side skirt molded on by a shop. 3 months later it started cracking...


they are just stories.. but i would like to stay on the safe side... then again i'm not an expert..

 

if you mold/glue the side skirts to the existing side skirts there should not be any issues. where you run into trouble is when you mold the skirts to the existing side skirts and body (RJ kit and like your VS kit where it climbs onto the body). the body is made to flex separately and thus that joint is like an expansion joint. imagine filling the gaps where your bumper meets the body. if you bend the bumper the body will not bend and the gap will reopen. i'm not an expert either but this is just applying my construction knowledge to body work.

 

Check this Site out if you havent yet. Maybe it'll help how it looks at the end

That blue is completely off. Way too light compared to the body. I don't like it.

 

i also noticed that and that it's molded but they didn't paint the entire bumpers. i'd be on the paint shop's ass for something like that.

wonder what the rear looks like from dead center with the lip not forming to the exhaust.

 

Yeah the body kit paint is deff off, im hoping my painter will get pretty close to ABP

 

ahhhhhh much better now.

 

^ Hmm... something else looks different other than the paint. I just can't put my finger on it.

 

I must be the only one who's not a fan of body kits, esp. on the CL. Reminds me too much of the old Chevrolet Beretta GTZ's from back in the day



Not quite THAT bad, but you get what I mean.

 

slammed the shit out of it.

 

those are older pictures of the car. here is the main page with pictures after lowering it, and adding some wheels.

call me crazy, but I alwasy thought the TL kit (02-03) on the CL looks a little un-natural. Especially the sides and rear. The front just cuts into the chin of the CL too slanted.

 

yup that's what i meant, molding the skirts onto the body... now we're on the same page =D

 

Thanks for all the input. We shall all see how this looks later next week. Molding and possibly filling front lip vents are both a possibility. Going to have myself a unique ABP

 

kyle does yours look like this from dead front? frowning

 

Its hard to tell since i have not really put it on, im assuming it will look like the picture above. Im not rollin with 2-tone right now
