AGREED! I like the spoiler on the trunk and thats all!
I would take that money and buy an A-Spec kit, it will be half the price after your done fitting the Made In Mexico kit and painting it.
Sorry if that was harsh, i just hate seeing TL's getting riced now

I think the only kit that looks good is the Aspec lit kit. Full bumper replacement types like this don't work well with the TL, IMO.

That being said, this isn't bad at all when it comes to full kits. I think it *could* work on a TL show car, if they had some sort of mesh for the grilles. I do like the spoiler better than the OEM wing.

On a side note, why would you post an unpainted body kit as a model on your website? And using fibreglass is kinda iffy IMO, don't those things just shatter in accidents?

Not true, there are a few people on here with the Ron John kits... still slightly ugly IMO but there are some people that like them.

I think there is a reason why we haven't seen this thing painted.... Cuz no one has bought it. Seriously this heavily cheapens the TL to a civic-like appearance. Not that there is anything with a civic, but the TL & the civic were designed for two completely different demographics.

I guess I just don't get the appeal of body kits. IMHO even the a-spec body kit just adds clutter to the clean lines of the 3G TL. Plastic installed over plastic just seems a bit Pontiac to me, not to mention the added weight to the car. The plastic seams the a-spec kit creates over the bumpers would bother me.

Back in my day (mid 90s) when Tegs and Ludes rule the earth they had combat and california kits and worse quality ever. My Friend put it on his GSX, literally minutes from pulling it out of the bodyshot it crack going down a curb.

Anything coming from Andy's I would pass......

If you notice... they got the mid-grille-horribly wrong.
I think Versus has got this sorta-front-bumper-design down the best.
Cue Eric's car or that one SSM with the same bumper that I never seem to see anymore.

I think this kit has been posted before-it looks familiar (and ugly).

I'm with the OP. While I definitely question the quality and fitment, I am very curious how it would look painted because I actually think it might look decent. Would I buy it? No. But I don't think there are any body kits I would buy for my TL.

Anyone have a pic of this painted and complete?

Noooo. I don't agree with you. I prefer to use the original bumpers installed with front and rear A-spec kit.

Finally, after over a month here, I hear a view on plastic I can agree with!!
And I really like the Pontiac comparison. Made me chuckle. Goes back to the 70's Trans Ams.

There is way more

around these parts than most folks want to admit.
Just sayin'........

It's the exact opposite of attractive. If people are buying TL's to put kits like that on them, they just shouldn't own a TL.
