does anyone think the A-Spec rear lip is ugly or too boxy?

sup guys, heres my dilemma. right now i only have the front lip for my WDP. i love it, makes the car look aggressive. i'm debating whether i should get the rest of the kit for $450 from a friend that works for acura. i've always wondered if it was worth getting the rear lip. to me, it makes the back end look bigger and longer. the side skirts also kinda make the car look more boxy. i think the biggest factor is that my car is running on stock 17's. if i had 19's, i would definitely cop the whole body kit. i'm thinkin my 17's would look small with the whole kit. i'm havin a hard time decided if i should get it or not. what do you think i should do? maybe if someone has really good pics of a wdp with stock 17s. on yeah i got the A-Spec suspension also.

What I think is ugly is the TL without it! Especially since I have had mine from day one!

Put them both (with and without) side by side and no way does it compare to the aggressiveness of the aspec look! To tell you the truth, if the car came that way it would be more of a reason to buy it (as if it needed that).

So poll should have said:

TL ugly with or without total A-spec?

Without?

With?

Amen, I got my 06 last Feb, I was having second doubts. When I got my Apsec kit (body, rims and ride) hooked up with a CT RSB in October, totally different car. I'm just glad Acura has it available to add, the plan Jane TL wasn't cutting it for me.

I was on a four day trip this week, I drove over 500 miles in a Ford Fusion and another 200 miles in a Buick Lucerne, boy was I missing my TL. I took my wife's CRV to the airport when I pulled up to the house last night and saw my TL, IT WAS GORGEOUS!!!

i agree with everyone else, the a-spec kit makes this car look good and was the influencing push for me to get it over the tsx

Thats the only reason I have not purchased the kit. I don't really like the way the rear sticks out.

I have the front only as well, can you hook me up with the rest of the kit for 450 as well? I'd def be interested.

It is not bad, it does complete the look...

With that said it does look more aesthically pleasing on certain colors than others, with the grey plastic sticking out more on some colors, and blending in more with others.........

I was also thinking of just doing the front end, but I thought it might make the front look lower then the rest of the car? Do you have any pics so I could check it out? And how about converting the rear to a 07 Type-S I think that would look pretty sweet.
