i think u guys are thinkin what im thinking,the a-spec can be bought at any time so its not like i would be losing out if i got the hood and front lip,and ive seen alot of cars with the front lip only and it dont look bad...but i DEFINATLY will get the whole kit eventually,but i have alot more other things to buy which cost alot more money so i dont think i wanna spend 800 on a spec and 650-700 for a hood and everything else im doing also..so i think hood and front lip too! i will have to make my decesion by tomorrow cause tomorrow is when i start dumpin money on websites!

The TL should show elegance, with performance.
I think a CF hood shows "ricer" No offense

Full aspec. It'll look good no matter what else you've done to your car.
CF hoods look good on some cars......I don't think it looks good on a regular unmodded TL. Maybe if you go crazy with mods and make the TL lose it's luxury look and make it look like a racecar (like accuratein 's car) it will go with it. If the rest of your car is sorta stock then you have the luxury/sport look and it won't mesh. You'll ruin both looks. It'll look stupid.

it would look awfully weird with just the front end modded, then the rest of the car stock. seriously...
its like saying, i could buy a shirt and jacket now, without pants, or buy the shirt and pants now, and buy the jacket later.
not to mention its cheaper to get a full kit all together, rather than piece by piece

well 90% of az members cars look the same with just different rims. i know of only 3 people with cf hoods..everyone has a-spec and only eric has the versus front bumper...and if not either of those its RJ...im not much of a person to like having the same thing everyone else has..but at the same time i dont want to lack the class of my tl
I have 1!!!

My plan was to find a way to paint the entire thing or just most of it.

Abandon the thought of the CF hood if you drive your car...
They're for show, purely. They don't last. Accuratein had one, and it peeled within a year. he's back to stock with custom paint.
I'd considered it, but if it can be "worn", it can be bought.
The reason all our TLs look alike is the sheer LACK of aftermarket support... and what support is out there is played or so
- Aspec - played
- Ron jon - played, not a huge fan of anything but the front
- Versus - eek. Tat's a special kinda of car... Erics fit the mold.
You want to be distinct... Custom proffessional paint.

i was going to do custom paint but i cant really come up with a scheme i would really want to put down on my car,i have had alot of ideas but when i get ready to do it i change my mind cause i would hate to paint it then not like it when im done and just want to change it.
