It looks like in one photo a wings west rear with the notches for exhaust and the other photo oem rear. I have WW rear and am not happy with it, it has too much flex and has been re-painted twice. goin to get oem rear

^these pics are from a-zine members.. dunno why'd they go ahead and just take the pics without asking permission. The worse part is that the parts for those kits are different between the two pics... idiots.

Only buy that kit if you are ok with doing some work. I bought mine late december and it is a rough fit. I actually trimmed the back by 2 or 3 inches on one side. I am in the process of molding the lip kit to the front and rear bumpers right now. The side skirts fit great at least. My 03 TL is looking bad ass though... I love the look I have achieved with my grill and the new lip kit. I will take pics as I finish up the bodywork.

LoL... The tools are no big deal. I used a grinder with a cutting wheel to trim the kit up. I am using fiberglass to mold the kit... and tigerhair along with duraglass and then some good bondo. I cant be too strong. P.S. Seriously dont buy the ebay kit unless you ok with ripping it apart and doing some serious glass work. I wanted to mold it all along so it made sense to pay less for a kit that I was going to modify.
