I think the kit looks good in black and ok in other colors. The car is sportier, but much less elegant looking. I had ordered my car with full kit, then when I actually took time to look at the kit on the demo car I had it removed from my order. It looked much better on the previous design.

I have the rear deck spoiler, but I've been toying with the idea of adding the body kit. One of my concerns is ground clearance for speed bumps, parking bumpers, etc. I've added a front spoiler to another car in the past that used to scrape against parking bumpers, and it made parking my car a pain in the butt.
For those that have the body kit, are parking bumpers or speed bumps an issue for you?

Oblio98 had an excellent post awhile back with measurements between the ground and kit in various places. I found the post, but the pic is now gone. Maybe Oblio98 can repost it and Mr. Hyde can put it in the FAQ?

I almost bought the CL-S until I saw the TL-S with the underbody & rear spoiler. It changed my whole mind about getting a 4-door sedan. The car gets lots of double-takes as I drive down the road

It's certainly noticeable, but better?
That's a personal opinion. Some like it, some don't.
I like the look of the body kit and spoiler, but it does not suit me or my lifestyle. On a different note: I think the kit needs the spoiler.
I did not go with either on my car.
Just my $.02.

TrubLus - is that your ride??? very nice!
i must admit looks better on this color than the silver one i have seen. i think white also will look good.
i like the previous kit better since it was smoother...this one looks good too but is it too *aggressive*?!?!?!

I don't think the body kit looks as nice on the TL-S, since they made changes to the bumper, it just looks like the front is too big with the front skirt on. just my opinion. I think it looks better if you left the body kit off and dropped it.

Thanks StanMan! I saw the kit on a black TL-S and said, I want that! On black it is really **aggressive**, but I liked the Aegean Blue because it seemed to change colors at different angles of light. Plus, everyone and their mother seem to drive black cars in NJ & NY.
