How far are they off?
If it's not too much, you can bend the exhaust hanger brackets slightly. The TL always had issues with the exahusts not hanging properly.

You can take a piece of steel pipe, shove the hanger bracket into the pipe and bend it slightly till you get it where you need it.

I put it up in the air after work and found there not really off that much. I think once I get the 3A tips I can index them just right. They looked really off when you looked at them from behind. I'll post some pic's after I get the tips on.
THANKS again guys !

The fitment of the exhaust tips dont line up and the rear lip isn't that tight so I drilled extra screws into the rear itself to hold up. It'll do for now, I'm over it lol.

Btw, I did the painting myself, some of you might think it looks like shit but Im fine with it. Lol

Paint isnt as shiny as the other parts, but i guess it works for you.

Now all you need is a drop and some visors.

My rear bumper has flexed under the license plate and is starting to peel the paint. I want to get the WW rear but will it look stupid if I put that on without having the rest of the OEM lip kit?

^I somewhat agree.
I have the rear+sides and it looks good. The 99-01 front doesn't seem too appealing IMO.

Yeah, I have visors, the drop will be coming soon. I just took care of the 105k maintenance so it'll be another couple months. Haha.

Yeah its not as shiny, but it works.

The 02-03 front is . Only if we had something like that for 99-01'ers. You should def. pick up the whole kit.

99-01 lip looks better then the makeshift 02-03 lip on the 99-01 bumper.

99-01 lip "extends" the bumper.. where as the 02-03 lip caps over the bumper.
