Exclamation Kit Mix'n'Match

So what would you think about a Value front end with different sideskirts. The value kit sort of ends on the wheel flares with a squareish look to it, which perhaps the Wings West might could pull off, but I dont much like the WW in the first place. The factory kit is smooth, and I'm not sure if it would look in place if it was mixed with the Value front.

Also I don't think that the height difference would be too terrible btw kits (the Value is a little lower) As we've seen Bobatimez's sideskirts look good on his TL that doesn't have a front or rear lip. Tim's TL also didn't have a lip for a long time, and from certain angles I really couldnt tell.

One last item to consider. If you don't like either of the WW or Factory kit, a custom job could be done to fit an accord kit on this that match'd the lines of the Value, but that wouldn't be econmically feasible. Just a thought.


Factory:




Value:



Wings West:

I've got the WW front and I'm going with factory sides and rear. I haven't decided between the WW flush wing or the Mugen 3 piece set.........

I was wondering the same thing except no one wants to tell me where the hell I can get the Value bumper. I don't live in Hawaii. (Hint Hint)

The Value front makes the nose of the tl look very loooooooooooooong and looooooooooow(vertically)..kinda like a droopy face from the side, IMO.

Boston TL, post pix of your Mugen front end man, I forgot to include that.

I think it would look great with factory sides and rear.
