A-Spec kit quick question.

Hey

I want an aspec kit, but I don't really like the front lip thing, but I do like the sides and back. Would the kit look weird if I just got the sides and the back?

Why don't you like the front lip?

And yes it would look weird if you only got the sides and back without the front.

I've never seen it. I would think it looks weird.

I know it's in the eye of the beholder, hence the--->

I saw one the other day in person and I just think the 07 stock front looks better. I think the front lip looks kinda weird if the car isn't lowered and I don't plan on lowering my tl.


Anyone got pics???

Hey it's up to you. If you like it, that's ALL that matters. You're going to get many opinions here, but it's your car, and you can do what you want with it. That's the beauty of it.

Just making sure, you do know the front 07 A-Spec lip looks like this, correct?

The lip kit shouldn't matter if it's lowered or not. Only option you can go with for front lip is a Ron Jon front and that's hard to come by without buying the entire kit. Unless you had this in mind.

I may say just try the side and rear then judge by yourself. My car right now only have the rear type-S lip (no side and front)

While I'm not a big fan of the RJ kit, I think the front does look pretty decent. No front license plate FTW.

Yup. The front of Ron Jon looks the best IMO. I kinda regret keeping the extra money from an accident I had awhile back (there fault) and used it on something else.

RonJon kits ARE nice, but the Base TL Aspecs are sweet too. Just skip the Type S Aspec Kit.

i dig the front lip of the a-spec kit. it looks good as is. would look even better lowered.

i'm not trying to thread jack or anything, but what do you guys think looks better. TL A-Spec Kit or the TL Sarona Kit for the 07-08 model?
