Body kit, plz tell me what you think.

I don't like the look of the rear piece, and I only want to get the front and the sides and leave the mud flaps on the rear fender. how do you think it will look? I know you think that I am cheap, but I really don't like the llok of the rear piece. Let me know your true opinions!! Thanks

IMHO I don't think it would look right. But again that's my opinion and it doesn't count for much...you have to make the final call and do what you want & like.

IMHO...It wont' look right..in other words....i think it would look ugly. But that's my opinion...at least remove the rear mud guards.

I dont' think it will look good. But... you may want to take a pic of a TL (like your own) that has the kit and PS the pieces out and see how it looks.

If you ever attended a Bay Area meet you would of seen my car in person with the very same setup. My rear was delayed so I had to ride around with just the fronts and sides on. I have full kit now though. But, if I had to redo it all over again, I'd rather go with something else thats non OEM...at least for the rear anyways. You need the front to be OEM because you'll need the extra durability when it comes time to scrape all over going through steep ass driveways and hills in my area.

Well...it took the guys a couple of minutes to even notice I didnt have the rear. The fronts and sides seem to matter most since the rear kit measured the least amount of added width. As for looks...well...I'd prefer the full kit, but I too understand the functionality of having mud guards instead. If you do plan on getting the 3 piece kit, just backup to ever parking spot you go to.
