Wow Mr Hyde, I gotta give you a two thumbs up on the pics. Great looking car with the bodykit. I am droooling... hehee . Can you take a pic of your rear windshield?? I just want to see how your rear tint looks like. And how hard was the installation of the bodykit? Did it take long?? Can you give some pointers because I really want to get a kit for mine too. Thanks!

Hey Mr. Hyde... you're the man. I am getting the factory skirt with the WW lip spoiler when I get my blue TL-S and I was wondering how it would look. I'm glad you "tested" it for me!! It looks awesome!! Great pics too....

Thank GOD! My kit has been on a backorder for 2 weeks now (and still waiting) and I've been kicking myself over and over that I should of gotten a Silver Bullet instead. These picks just reassured me that I have once again made the proper choice (first being the choice of car). I'm even gonna go for the WW wing. One thing thats different is that I took off the entire 3.2 TL type-S badging and placed it on the interior, right smack in the middle of the 2 passenger side air vents. Reason being is that kiddies here in California have a tendency of ripping off Type-R/Type-S badging and scratching the paint finish while doing so. Thanks again Mr. Hyde.

P.S. That car sure looks damn nice. BASTARD!

That is sweet! I am in love with your car! Is that incestuous? Makes me want to go out and wash mine too.

Thanx Guys I am gushing.

As far as the kit goes, installation was pretty simple. Everything except the front piece used the OEM holes. The front piece required drilling, all the nuts, bolts and clips required came with the kit. Total time for the kit about 2 hours.

The WW lip spoiler was another matter. The holes under the trunk lid didnt line up exactly right with the spoilers holes. I had to start with small drill bits, and test fit the spoiler several times while enlarging the holes in the proper direction in between. The cars paint is very soft, all the test fitting really scratched up the deck lid, thankfully all those areas are covered by the spoiler. When installing slide the spolier forward onto the car otherswise the scrathes will be visible.

So be warned this job is not for the faint of heart. Definitely requires at least 2 people. 3 would probably be better. The way the spoiler sits off the back a little cupping the rear lip of the trunk itself, it is very probe to sliding around which you dont want at all. Install time for the spoiler alone was about 2 hours

oh my.

You know, after seeing pics of your car I just HAD to register so that I could type this:

I'm considering buying a TL-S sometime in september, but wasn't too sure about it because I didn't like the looks. But after seeing your car, I take that all back. This is the absolute most amazing TL I have seen. =) Congrats on the great ride.

A once confused car buyer just turned TL-S buyer in September,
