Very very nice. Now you just have to install the coilovers and drop it a couple of inches...

SAM...I would love to get an OEM body kit, but I’m afraid of damaging it with all the snow. My bros IS300 front bumper got major damage due to snow. Would it look weird if I only add the side skirts and rear lip?

I'm not Sam, but IMO it would.
If your car isn't lowered, there shouldn't be any other reason why you can't have the front lip as well.

I saw a base TL (in Anthracite too) this morning with only the high beam on as well. It might have been from Canada though.... But there might be a way to rig it to work like driving light.

get the kit from ebay, only 649 US shipped~



come on...either do a full kit or not doing it, if you think you are too low then don't bother, coz there are much more snow in ur area

Samkws thats a really nice tl ... i think that having a kit definatly improves the look of the tl but in some instances not having the kit can look good too .. Mad cat i dont think you need a kit to improve your car - the drop looks nice and the rims are really nice, its very clean

agreed...i did the whole side a rear when my lip came off (due to snow and my reckless driving in it lol) doesnt look horrible but dont do it forever. You could just take the lip off every winter. I dont think people actual realize how drivable a lowered car is with a kit, ive done it for 3 cars now and if you dont think your acuras a porsche you wont have a problem. I also live in New England.
