Men, that looks real tight! For those who are looking for much more aggressive sport look for the 99-01 models, that lip looks great... much props!

I think it looks really great. It is very aggressive in the front, which the '99-'01 TL doesn't necessarily portray as much as the '02/'03. Great look Benzo.

Aggressive. It's a bit too much for me but it works for the car. Any scraping?

More pics of just your car please

wow that's pretty nice. How much was it to fit it to our front bumpers? And is it just a Greddy front lip off an Accord?

btw. what fogs are you running? they look freakin huge in the little vents

I'm almost positive that he got the Lude's front lip from Greddy, you can find it for about 140.00 - 180.00 I have to agree again, it looks pretty good... The "Greddy" logo is not my taste... but overall it looks good.

Yeah a lude lip. I actually thought of it one night and went for it. Something to give it a lil more personality. But some like it and some dont. I love it.

Here is a closer look. Molded on the front but left the sides as 2 piece.

I like it......way to be different. I even like the ski rack....gives the TL some contrasting character. Good luck with your TL.

i don't know why people still ask what kind lip is it, i already wrote looks like a bb6 front lip on the other thread just by looking at the corner.

oh by the way, you name your thread "my jdm front end", but i could not find any jdm parts, did i miss it??

Greddy is a Japanese company. Greddy, Grex, Gracer and Trust is the same company. I thought u knew better than that! Yes u were the first to guess it right!

the lip came from the greddy in cali, same thing with the mugen grille, is available from king motorsports, anyone could go to their site and order them. so i would not call those jdm. jdm stand for japanese domestic market, not made in japan....the only thing i see is your emblems, but they are not at the front end

those gtn is from mackin industries, even if he imported from japan i still would not call jdm, because there is a us distributor who sell the same item, but lets say he got a set of old school gtp or gram lights 57pro 3 piece, then i would call those jdm because mackin never carry them....

Ok im not going to argue with you on it. My lip was shipped from Japan and took 2 months to get it in. The Nissan Skyline is available throu Motorex as a distrubutor; and so is that now not consider a JDM car just because is available in the US?

My point is whether something is JDM to me may not be JDM to you. Even then all of our TLs are made in the US none can be said are JDM in your eyes. But then why did you put H badges on your car?? But hey its your opinion and I'll just leave it at that.

i dont like it, sorry, at least its different but am i the only one of the clean simple jdm look? that lip is huge, but to each his own, very creative, oh and the grill you had on the old pic looks 10 times better than the mugen grille, its just too big, looks outta place. I wont even comment on the greddy. Clean simple and jdm is the way i like it. like your first pic

my point is you don't have any front end jdm parts and you call yourself jdm, that is weak sauce , kinda misled those of us looking at this thread. parts available in US by AUTHORIZED factory distributor is not jdm parts. a-j racing sell jdm parts, they are in canada, but they are not authorized by honda japan, same thing with motorex with their r32,33,34. they are distributor but they are not AUTHORIZED, motorex used to be authorized US distributor for c-west parts, anyone got a c-west bodykit is NOT jdm, but now it is because motorex drop the c-west line and no one is distibuting it, by the way should call me for the bb6 front lip, because i got one left instock....

all of of cars is not jdm, but you can definitly make it jdm spec. by puting in jdm parts.
