Alright, so my TL is rolling in at 65,000 miles and is a 2005. The only part of the exterior of my car that has flaws in the side rocker panels. I am looking to eventually upgrade to the ASPEC kit, but dont really feel like dropping 700 as of now.


However, I cant stand to look at the scratches/cracks in the paint on my rocker panels (side skirts). Will it look odd if I get just the side aspec panels for now, and then eventually get the front and back? This wasy I dont have to get the oem ones repainted or anything in the time being.

Also, 65000 for a 2005, is that a low, average or high amoutn fo miles? I bought it with 45,000 in November 09 for 20,000. Great condition, navi and everything. Car still runs extremly solid. I plan on having it for as long as it is still runing (hopefully 200,000 + miles!)

Thanks for the input!

 

I dont think it would look to off... but i have never seen it done before. Maybe get the front and sides, then it wont look so off.
Also i would say 65k is average. i have an 06 with 69k but that high for the year. NADA takes 200 off the value for high mileage for an 06.

 

12-15k miles a year is said to be average. I barley drive and I have 61k on my 05. An 05 should have 72-90k miles, which is average and at 6 years old. An 06 average is 60-75k.

I get the a-spec kit for cheap and can get you individual pieces as well, let me know.
Front-$265 SHIPPED
Rear-$265 SHIPPED
Sides-$290 SHIPPED
Whole kit - $770 shipped.

 

That's what I paid for my kit 770 shipped.

The type s aspec sides versus the regulars was a big difference in my eyes. I dunno how base apsec sides look in person really. But I know just the type s apec sides would look stupid by themselves. They poke out more then factory type s sides.

 

I have an 06 and it has 35K miles .. what color is your car? Aspec sides alone won't look that bad as an interm ....

Check that link and there's a pic of a silver TL (1st response down) with the front and sides of the A-Spec on so you can get an idea of how it will look

 

get the front and sides, and then it wont look off, in fact it will look pretty good IMO

 

+1 front and sides would look good...just the sides will look whack
