I got the wing west. i prefer the look over the factory, the thing that i didn't like was that it came with scratches and dents. Also, the installation instructions that it came with were for a nissan 300zx. Also u would have to get it painted, mines cost me $6oo to paint and install and that was a hookup cause i was having my car fixed which was an $8,000 job. if not it would have cost me $900 just to install and paint. my car is pearl white so its a more expensive paint job. hope i helped out a bit

I also prefer the WW. I don't know if its me but I don't like that dented look on the factory kits. It just looks kind of funky in my opinion.

I would personally get the factory bodykit. It costs alot more, but you get what u paid for. It also already comes painted. We paid $960 w/Tax at Bedford Hills Acura. They can ship it to you for $50 bucks more. Installing it shouldn't be that much 100-200. Or you can even do it yourself.

I agree because I just bought my OEM kit. IMO, it looks classier on the TL. I can't wait to put it on next week.

Personally, i wouldn't want my ride to look to classy being that i'm 19. The ww body kit cost me around $700 including the shipping. To install and paint cost me $600. A total of $1300. If ur car is pearl white it would cost u a lot more to paint. So its really not cheaper. One thing thoug like i said before WW quality is shitty.
