Driving with the body kit is the same as driving without it...only difference is you have to be a little more careful when going over large speed bumps or initially going up any inclines. As for the types of kits you can find them at the top of this screen under Aero Parts...you can even order the kit from this sight...

With the kit, it isn't much harder to drive. just need to slow down more at dips and bumps. also there are only two kind of kits for you to nit pick at....OEM and Wings West

It depends on how you got out. Most of the people with lowered cars....or body kits...or both..angle out of steep driveways....and yes..the OEM is the Factory one.

I was planning to get the OEM kit, but now I think maybe not, cuz my drop is so low...don't want to raise it up, cuz the look is soo tight...anywayz if you get it post pics. BTW if you have an 02 TL, you can only use the OEM kit, WW is for 99 -01 only.

The OEM should give you more clearance. The WW kit is more low. also do a search on "RES" or "mystery mod" and you shall find out. let's just say.it's a shiny chrome thingie gives lots of HP! haha

I never said there wasn't one...I was just saying that there is only the OEM kit for the 02 model, not a WW kit. Anywayz, I think the OEM rear is more low profile than the WW. You should have more rear clearance with the OEM kit. Hope this helps.

Yeah um I think it's upwards of 500 bones. PM Valuetl to confirm that. He would have an exact price. Keep in mind that expensive little piece is just an add-on lip like the OEM and not the whole bumper. That's mad $$$$ for what chu get.

Ken2000ac: Dang 500 just for the lip? That's crazy !! I thought it was the whole front bumper, cause then I could also have/get the fogs. Is the Blaze also just a lip or is it the whole bumber?

MahaRaja: Thanks, if I ever plan to sell my rims i'll be sure to let you know.

SKP DEZIGN Front Lip Spoiler : $425.00 ( + shipping from Japan)



I would rather buy Value Sports Front Bumper just like Mike's TL.
That's 150 more than SKP DEZIGN, but it's whole bumper. Just my thought!!
