So your just using the Sarona rear and wings west sides/rear?

I actually like the sarona rear, any fitment issues? How much did you pay for just the rear?

Looking good

Well, I'm sorry some of you guys don't share the same taste as me, (In which you are entitled to your own opinion) which is why I posted this thread in the first place, I wanted other peoples point of views, and opinions. And I greatly appreciate it. I'm personally happy with my new kit, I turn more heads and get more thumbs up from a variety of people that are not just Civic, Accord owners, now than when I was sporting the OEM look. Cause it was just another stock looking TL with the factory lip kit. Thanx guys, I'm still selling the OEM Kit if anyone's intrested..

Sarona rear >>> OEM rear.

Never been a fan of the OEM rear, it seems like it doesn't match the OEM sides too well. It sits too high....

I wonder what the Sarona rear would look like with OEM sides and front...Hmmmmmm

can you or some one else tell me where to get the mugen eyelids.

Go to ebay and do a search on: Acura TL mugen
IF they still are available it should come up, Shipping takes about a month cause it comes from Japan, I was beginning to get nervous when it was 3 weeks and still no eyelids, but It was all worth it once I got 'em..

awww homie you beat me to it. I have the sarona back chilling in my garage waiting and beggin to be put on. Looks nice. I dont regret buying the kit now after seeing your ride. LOOKS HOT!!! Everyone says it makes the TL have a big ass and guys WHO DOESNT LIKE A BIG ASS. I KNO I DO. I got mine back for cheap though I got it for $350 shipped. Anyhow, I dunno why all the complaints about the kit been fiberglass. I think about 95% of aftermarket kits are fiberglass. Even the expensive shit from JAPAN. also who car...its on the back. You gotta be a bad driver to be scraping the back. Fiberglass is more dangerous I think only in the front. if you drop the car and cant take angles down slopes you gonna mess up your kit pretty bad. But as for the back kit, NO biggie just dont drive over bumps too quick. I like the Sarona. One vote for the Sarona. I was never a big fan of the OEM. Makes Doesnt look right. IMO

I'm running OBX (the ones that look like the Greddy Evo), I had to center the mufflers when I put the bumper on. They were slightly off-center

Vtechump,

Your car is pretty slammed, I love the way it looks, I'll be installing my new TEIN Coilovers next week, I was concerned a lil' about camber issues, How are ur tires? and alignment? Do you suggest camber kits, I wanna have mine about as low as yours.

How does your obx sound. some people said they sound terrible and had to take them off. How does your sound. Your setup looks nice. What series is your exhaust. Sorry for all teh question. Just like the setup and is curious that all.

I like the oem front lip with the side skirts better than the WW front and side. I do think the sarona back is a bit to big, I would go with the WW rear. I think it looks sharper IMO.
Regardless, phat whip!!!!

My tires are o.k. I'll know for sure next week when I take them off for winter, I'll snap some pics and let you know, I've put about 5,000 miles on them so far...Of course camber kit would be nice, the problem with the camber kit is when you are this low correcting the camber can cause rubbing issues. It's kind of a catch 22.

Yep those are the ones, Honestly IMO I think they sound perfect, they are smooth, deep, not too loud, I didn't modify my stock pipes, or removed any resonators, so I honestly I dont know what those people r talking about sounding horrible. And I'm very picky
