I bought this and I think it really looks good. Its different, not everyone has this unlike the A-spec front lip. Just something different to distingish my baby from the thousands that look the same. I would go with Ronjon front and sides but I don't have the money to do so.

I don't think it's as ugly as some people say it is. I personally wouldn't do it because it looks like a 2G but it's not bad looking. I also think that whose fog lights are just custom put in there. It's different and like someone said it's not like everyother TL out there.

If you want to be different and perhaps stand out a bit, this would be the way to go. Not bad looking, just different.

Maybe if the grill inserts were black and not silver and if it had the factory fogs behind the grills it would look better. If someone could photoshop it to get an idea of it. I don't think its too bad just gotta lose the color of the grills and those lower fogs like i said before.

I don't see why this is so horrible... Like some have said, the grill inserts are wack and that's what makes it look kinda wack. But otherwise, its not bad at all, and with everyone and their mom having an A-Spec kit, its something different. And it's still pretty subtle.

Doesn't look that bad. It has a RON JON look and once you take out the fogs they are basically RON JONs.

lol - i love how everyone bashes things that don't look like "the norm".

the lip does not look terrible. it looks like some good work was put into the design if you ask me. if you want to see a poor example of a lip kit lookup the Sarona.

In my opinion, it would look better if it had styling queues from the A-Spec.
The port-holes could stay.... but have the "fang" style like the A-Spec.
Also.. could work with black grille instead of silver.

The area's where the fogs are kind of remind me of the Kit for the 2g I def would not put the fogs there.

I think with the stock fogs in the correct locations and those slots left empty it wouldnt look bad.

Completely agree on all counts. Really, as good as the Sarona roof spoiler looks, I have no clue what they were thinking on the front lip they designed.

Finally, we see a painted version of this. We talked about this lip a LONG time ago. It has been on Ebay a long ass time so that means that quite a few people have it and just don't have the guts to throw up pics......I can see why, lol.

It's not really that the lip is totally terrible, it just doesn't flow with the lines of the car. (look on the sides.). It has a very 90s scoop style of "Pontiac Firebird" look to it. I DO like those slim fogs there, kinda cool. They look to be LED? It would be cool to keep them as DRLs and add Accord fogs to the lower grill...Hmmmm.

if they molded it to the bumper and made it look like one piece....i think it would have more appeal.
