Best looking skirts/rear lip?

Well I have a front OEM aero lip, but not anything else. Which side skirts look the best in your own opinions. I've seen a lot of the OEM aero skirts, but I feel like maybe it's a little over-done now. If there are no better ones I'll probably get it.

Rear lips...which one guys? Doesn't matter which one I just want some suggestions for the best look.

There is only one oem lip. No S type or A spec or aero. Just OEM lip. Personally I think the oem set is the best looking and cleanest looking lip kit. Finding it complete is the hard part.

Well I found one, but would you say the OEM one is the best looking? Or would you recommend any other one?

To me the OEM kit is by far the best. I don't like the sides or front of the wings west kit at all. The rest I wouldn't even consider because they're cheap but there's some others available.

I just really don't like the front lip how it climbs up the rear edges of the bumper. It really disrupts the clean lines to me. OEM is the way IMHO.

What's a good price for the OEM skirts/rear lip used in good/decent condition? I looked at west wing's site and it's 170 per skirt and 270 for the rear? Whoa.

personally I like OEM best. But this is a very close second for me.

OEM front and the sides/back were aftermarket, not sure which company. But he did say he had to do some major mods to get em to fit well.

Damn man that rear was so damn nice...Any clue where I could find the OEM. They're pretty good at hiding.

Is that ATLP on that TL?? And yes I know you said rear, I think the rear is ok as well. The rest is not for me though.

I'm guessing less muffler means louder?? Looks good though. Don't wanna do exactly what you did but I definitely would like to have mine that nice for sure.

OEM front and sides, WW Rear is the best look. The WW Rear looks more complete than the oem

Hey Jjashaa, that was one beautiful TL......why did ya let it go ?

The car is the ultimate specimen of what a TL really wants to be dressed up !
Anyone considering any other lower lip kits will find it virtually impossible to match the end result of this pictured TL.
Top notch quality fit, durable and just totally awesome.

There is nothing else available that will ever come close to comparing, IMO !!!!!
