^^^^^ lol, damn i was just about to ask that
OEM kit looks a lot cleaner IMO, the only WW piece of the kit I would get is the rear bumper lip

That flap/fin on the WW front lip looks ridiculous.
OEM front lip, OEM side skirts, WW rear lip = clean hotness.

the WW rear lip is bigger than OEM. if it were me, i would go with 100% OEM. you won't regret that you did.

So true. WW looks kinda ugly IMO. OEM is so much cleaner. Everytime I see one pass by me..i get jealous...probably wouldn't happen if a WW TL passed by..i'd probably think he's a riiiiiii.........

That's the point. It flows better w/ the OEM side skirts. It's hardly ricer or "big". The OEM rear lip is so puny in the rear. The WW hangs down a bit lower covering the rear underbody and providing a great cutout for the exhaust (provided you have aftermarket exhaust or at least larger tips)

Good choice acuratl19, thats the best choice. Honestly, when Acura designed the kit, they should have beefed up the rear to flow better with the other pieces. WW rear fixes all that.

Jayunsplanet got it all down.

OEM front and OEM/ WW rear

as for the side, go with the WW side and cut the tabs on them. they look so sick, im tryna get someone to trade their WW side for my OEM sides. theres a pic of someone who did that but no clue where.

he has a WDP with gold wheels i think.

with you 100% the ww rear looks kinda funky with the oem front and sides......i think its just the flow of the kit oem rear has a little piece on the bottom that bubbles out as do the rest of the oem pieces......ww doesn't i think it looks too flat which is why it looks so much bigger.....

True, but if you look closely, the OEM front flows well in to the OEM sides, but then there is like an inch gap between the bottom of the OEM sides and the bottom of the OEM rear. The WW fills in that gap, so the bodykit flows better with it.

yeah but if noticed but its just a design thing because the the rear of the car.....any car......tends to sit higher then the front so a lip kit like the oem one is going to sit higher on the car......personally i like it better.....i've never someone with oem front n sides + ww rear in person but i don't really like it in the pics.....

When did you plan on getting ahold of the WW rear lip? Id be really interested in purchasing the OEM rear lip off of you when you were done with it. Its the only piece Im missing, wanna get it before going to the paint shop to get my new pieces matched to my car. Let me know if we can work that out. Thanks~
