underbody kit????

Well I'm planning on getting my '02 Black TL-S in a couple weeks and kinda confused on if I should get the factory underbody kit. I seen it on a silver TL-S but not black. So i come to you guys who are experienced in the TL-S and ask what should I do????Go with the underbody kit or not????Does anyone have a good pic. of a black TL-S with the factory underbodykit.

Thanks

Its a MUST for me. IMO it makes the car look more aggressive.

The kit DOES make the car look a lot more aggressive. It's very tasteful and understated, but you will know it's there. And you'll never get a factory-like fit from an aftermarket company. Tim sells them cheap and it's worth every penny.

You may want to try searching the Gallery for a Black TL-S with the kit.. I'm sure someone has posted one.

It's personal taste.

I happen to think the kit looks too much like an add on as opposed to a part of the car; especially the front lip which points outward.

I think your money is better spent getting the car lowered.

Also, there is a wingwest kit that also looks alright.

Once again, it's just a preference issue, go with what YOU like.

I have scraped the bodykit once but I was trying to get around somone to make a right hand turn and my wheel went into a pretty deep hole, but thats it. I have the bodykit and springs and I still clear normal size curbs when parking, etc.

I have the body lit and springs, no scrapes yet. Just be careful.

If you really want to get noticed, the kit is a real eye catcher.

People don't even know what kind of car it is when they see it. It makes the stock TL(S) look plain.

I basically feel like volkracing does. I dont currently have the body kit on my ABP TLS, but I think they look REALLY SWEET! But Im also concerned with scraping it or running it up on a curb while parking. Its not like Im a totally lousy driver or anything, but my front lip already has some scratches under it. oh well WTH, Im going to get one. Maybe right after I buy it I should start saving up for a new front piece!
