Wing West

I ordered a WW kit and it should be arriving soon. My question is... will it look funny if I have the WW kit installed on a stock height car. I do not plan on lowering the car due to some bad experiences. I have seen the OEM kit on a stock TL and it looks good. I was wondering how the WW would look.

Looks is a personal opinion, so don't sweat it. I personally think WW kit is ok without lowering the car.

i think it would look great without lowering the car, or just lowering less than an inch. in my opinion the TL shouldnt be lowered much, it takes away some of the class and adds more of the rice

Definately. With or without the drop it'll be a total change over the stock look. It'll definately look good. However, it'll look even better with a nice drop.

I had the OEM kit on for some time before I finally decided on dropping it. Once I did, the car looked so complete with the drop.

It will look great, is just like when you install the OEM without dropping the car. I don't think I will ever drop mine because I like the ride, is not pool table stiff but good enough for the occasional twisties. Now if I was living lets say up in the mountains, well maybe I consider upgrading the suspension but only if I can keep a decent ride.

I think the OEM kit looks really nice from the front and the back. If only they could add a lil more flare to the side skirts, I actually get it.

Can anybody tell me how's the fit with the WW? Is it as easy as the OEM one? I was thinking of getting it painted and installing it myself.

Yea, but how's the WW fit. I was thinking of letting the shop paint it and I install it so I don't have to leave my car there.
