nice man..

is that 5zigen heidfeld...? what size is that ...17" or 18"...

TLxRaCeR

18x8 3 piece.. front 215/35/18, rear 225/40/18. I got them straight from AKT, who were the main distributor for 5Zigen at the time.

They look small huh?.. i get people asking are those 17s all the time.. i plan to get 19s or 20s once i do the widebody in the future.

the front looks like its on upside down.

Front looks weird with out the center bar
Lines on the sides dont look right
Back looks way too bulky compared to everything else...



Sorry.

JPTLS03

Not feelin the front

magiviper

hmm... I'm more into the luxury look then the sport look.. I like what you did with the mesh though why clear everything and not get the inspire tails?

TLxRaCeR

My car is just a daily transporter for me. At this time, my main concern is getting this body kit into production. Once people approve of our design, i might actually make my car into a show car. I have considered getting the carbon fiber hood, inspire tails, and the black housing headlamps. Hopefully when time and money allows it, i will be getting them. =]

Thanks for all the replies. We will start soon on "phase 2" of this project. Hopefully our second try will be more successful =]

The front definitely looks upside down. The sides look pretty good. The back just looks weird BUT maybe it's just that the color of the rear is is waaaaay off from the rest of the car.

BTW Why would you stagger your rims??

Mikes96TL03CLS

Ya I do like it. Front is a bit big, but otherwise looks sweet man!!

VTEC

I don't know..am i the only who like the front? i like the whole kit~

AGPSuperstaR

how about a kit for the newer tl's??

TLxRaCeR

Hi. Gradually, we plan to manufacture ALL the TL Series bodykits in the future and possibly the TLX when it comes out. Just give us time.. We have a couple of other project cars at the moment, but hopfully soon we can start on the 99-01 and 02-up TLs. =]

The prototype Phase II has started. Here are some of the photos of the front that is under construction. Note that this is still not a completed prototype. I just wanted you guys to see a preview. =]

P.S. We decided to rid the air vents on the front, so that the front doesn't look too aggressive.

Let me know if this front lip look much better. Thanks.

Front looks too bulky.

car_lost

that front lip looks MUCH better over the first one.

I am divided, I definetely like the new front look, gives you the option of painting the green part another color of your choice.
the rear I am not in favor of. I don't like the idea of an add on rear, I would much rather have a full bumper in the rear . It seems to interrupt the flow of the curve design in to the car.

TLX
Is there a chance of designing a full rear lip as a second option to buy aside from the add on?

TLxRaCeR

Sorry, but we are not able to make a full rear bumper replacement because it would cost much for for us to produce it. If we did, prices would most likely range from $1800-$2200. Note, the price would be for a full replacement bumper for the rear and also the front as well. If you look at other companies, they offer a full lip kit, or just a full bumper replacement kit. The reason why other companies don't replace bumpers just comes down to cost of production minus sales quantity and profit magrin. For us, we don't see a huge market for the first gen. TLs. We believe that a full replacement kit for around $2000 is outragous. I personally wouldn't pay that much for any bodykit. If there were more people willing to pay that much, we would, but the fact that there weren't many first gen. TLs sold comes into consideration. As we all know, the 99-01 and the 02-03 TLs has sold quite well. For us as a company, we feel more confident with a full bumper replacement for the second and third gen TLs because there is a much bigger market for them.

you need one for the 02-03 TL-S and if it looks good, then i'm in
