~HELP~ Front Underbody Spoiler for 05 TL

Who here thinks it looks good to have just a front underbody spoiler on the 05 TL? I am thinking of installing just the front only. I would like to see some pictures, especially on a Satin Silver TL to get an idea on how it looks with the front lip alone. Also does anyone know who has this part for sale for the best price? I heard of a Tim here, but need his contact number or info.

Thanks,
I hope to get some feedback soon

Thanks

Here's mine

Here is my '04 with just the front spoiler. If you do a search, there is an old thread discussing installing the front spoiler only with lots of pics, I am pretty sure there are some more SSM's there. I think it looks OK, but am going to go ahead and do the rest of the kit. I think it just really completes the look.

I like just having the front spoiler on the car. I've gotten more compliments with it on than when nothing was on the car. I paid 50 bucks for mine, but it was used.

here's a pic i took back at school when i only had the front underbody spoiler. now i have the front and sides, and the rear underbody is coming tomorrow. at first I thought it would look okay with just the front, but when it comes down to it, you know you want the whole kit and it does, look a lot better. the cuts that the kits come with are there for a reason and only one makes the bottom half of the car look incomplete.

front only:



front and side underbody:

Here's a before and after of the front lip only installed. I think it gives the front end a more finished and aggressive look. I don't have the rest of the kit and don't plan on getting it. I think the rear bumper skirt looks like too much of a add-on and the stock side skirts are wide enough as they are. The front end doesn't look complete without the spoiler.

I also have the splash guards which are for practical reasons more than looks and they aren't compatible with the side or rear parts.

Excuse the change in seasons of the pictures.

I had that feeling, i use to have the front and the rear spoilers. I didnt have side for like months, but there is a big difference after i changed them. Some likes front only, some like full. I for one love the complete look with the whole kit, Turned many heads, and people comment how cool it looks.

I am also preparing to just buy the front lip only at this time as I do not like the full kit, especially with the stock wheels.

My upgrade path is to get front spoiler this year, and then 18" sparkle silver A-spec wheels before the next summer. After that I will look into getting snow tires for my original 17" wheels, and then I will perheps complete the body kit, but not any time sooner.
