OEM kit or Wings West?

I am looking into getting a body kit for my 99' Acura 3.2tl. Should I go with OEM or Wings West?

Wings west has the best front & rear spoilers (especially the rear) but the OEM has the better lower rocker skirts. IMHO of course. Everyone has their own preference of course......

If you have paint scratches from splash guards, you're better off with the WW kit. It looks to me like it would cover up that area. Otherwise, I think OEM looks better.

I found the Wings West kit on ebay, but I cannot find any site that sells an OEM kit for an 99' tl. help?

Do the WW back sit lower than the OEM back? Do the OEM side skirts sit lower than the WW side skirts? I was thinking of getting the OEM kit because I don't like the way the WW front looks...

I got the WW because the Acura dealer here keeps putting the OEM one on most of the TLs they sell, i wanted to be different.

the WW rear is bigger on the sides and in the rear and has the exhuast cut outs. makes the OEM rear lip look smallll.

Type with your 'Caps Lock' off please. The only difference between the WW rear and OEM rear are the exhaust grooves. The WW rear has "actual" cutouts for the exhausts while the OEM rear doesn't.

it all depends on your taste, you want agressive mean-looking go WW like this:

http://www.rsmooth.com/fileplace/users/etxxz/luis4.jpg

or if you want less of a granny car look but not as mean as the WW go oem:
*edit: http://www.acura-tl.hytekhosting.com...d/DSCN0504.jpg

i gave you 2 hot cars to decide on, just know WW will run you about $300 more than OEM if not more. i got my WW kit shipped installed and painted around 1300. and OEMs run on the 1000s installed etc unless you get from this one dealership at around 700shipped installed painted and so on....your choice, my suggestion WW.
