Thumbs up

Well at this point im sorta 50/50 with REAR lips, the OEM rear looks good, plus matches if you have the whole complete Type-S kit, it looks simple and not overdone, cuz sum people just want to complete the rear without over dueing it and for $400 its well worth it considering the fact that it will come PAINTED ALREADY FRESH!! to match your car color, on the other hand the Wings WEST dont come painted, its bigger than the TYPE-S rear, because everyone automatically notices it, "like dam what rear lip is that".......but will DEF look sick lowered, but then it wouldnt complete the whole TYPE-S kit......and would be on that MISS-MATCH style......but i still think it also looks pretty good......this was just my about the rear lips......

No such thing as a Type S kit. I own a 2003 TL-S. It didn't come with the kit from the factory.

It's just simply an OEM Under Body Spoiler, a.k.a. OEM lip kit for short. It was meant for both Type S and non Type S 2nd Gen TLs.

And I personally like the WW Kit alot better. Especially if you're running an aftermarket exhaust setup. And I'm not just saying that cause I have the WW rear lip.

IMO if you have the OEM front and sides I would get the OEM rear. The WW will still look good but the OEM will obviously match better.

OEM rear is garbage. It doesn't do anything to the rear and barely hangs down on the sides. The WW actually matches the bottom lines of the OEM sideskirts. Not to mention the very sexy cuved cutouts around the exhaust...

WW has a lot for oomph, the OEM is too understated
