Definitely no. Go oem or wings west with oem front lip. Looks much better and will probably last a lot longer.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I say forget the kits and spend that money towards engine or suspension modifications.

For example, the OEM lip kit, I think a full one goes for about $1000. That's a lot of money for some pieces of plastic.

For that body kit you linked us to; $370 + $155 shipping!

That could be new suspension, or headers, or exhaust, or a cold air intake, etc...

i think it looks ugly as hell, but its your car. Do what you like to it. In the end, as long as you are happy with how it looks, thats all that really matters.

This is your Car with the Lip Kit:


Notice the Front and Rear Bumper lower sides, Also the Side Skirt is Different... Thats the OEM Lip Kit.

Also theres No Need to buy the Kit directly from the STEALERship. Go to the Black Market you can Find a Decent OEM full Lip Kit One for less than 500 bucks, Obviously your lucky if you Find One in your Car Paint Color.

And to Add up you Can buy a Copy-Look-A-Like on Ebay for like 300+ Bucks Complete, That would be on Fiberglass tough it Brakes Easily. OEM is Full ABS Plastic if you hit it, It will bend but not Brake .

[QUOTE=Skirmich;13464709]This is your Car with the Lip Kit:



Not going to lie, that's a lot nicer than the body kit. but ive searched online everywhere and i can't find one. but i don't want a fiberglass one if its going to break. or crack.
Does anyone know where i can buy one?. besides on the 'black market'

thanks for all your help

Well actually you need to worry about Fiberglass if your lowered.
The front lip is the easiest to break in a Speed Bump if lowered, Thats why some dont do Fiberglass like I said if your not lowered or plan to do so its the cheapest way.

What year is your TL?

Maybe I can help you with a lip kit... one that comes with modulo badges and a cf rear diffuser.
