Body kit question

Hi everyone, so I'm a brand new member here, just got my base 08 WDP TL like 2 weeks ago.

I'm looking into getting a body kit for my ride and wondering which type is the best looking? I currently have my eyes on the OEM but any other input will be appreciated! pictures are great as well.

Thanks!!

sweet, thanks guys! I'll go with the ASpec.
so for around $750, is that just include front, side, and back? no spoiler correct?
I just bought a set of splash guard, guess i cant use them anymore if I put the lip kit on, that sucks!

A-spec kit is front, sides and back only. The spoiler can be bought seperately

can anyone show me some pictures comparing the front lip between and 07-08 base and 07-08 type S? and if they are different, can I install the type S front lip onto my base?

Grats on the new ride!

The RJ kits look nasty, but they're 3 times as much $$ painted WDP from RJ compared to OEM ASPEC.

Here's a link to the site, since the hotlinked pics are dead:

Car looks sick. Are those A-Spec wheels too? How low is that drop?

I love my CGP but there's something about WDP TL's.

Full bumper will cost more than an add on lip kit, and the cost for the A-Spec you see is usually a hair over invoice, so it's hard to compete with dealers blowing them out with little to no markup. Also, you will be able to save your OEM bumpers with our kit.

That thread about the Wil this fit my car I asked about putting that kit on the 07-08 and (forgot who controls the thread) but said it will fit with a little adjustments. I do love how that looks but my car came with a-spec on it so decided to keep it. For an OEM option the A-spec is simply amazing and changes the whole car.

yah I like the a-spec too but i like the front bumper of the type s a-spec more than the basic. if I put the type s front lip on my base, i'd probably need a professional installer to do it. any idea how much would it cost!!?
