Unless your car is HIGHLY modified, these will not look right IMO.

I recall Eric (ACCURATEin) having something like this but he pulls it off because...well, look at his TL.

I agree with Austin. Slapping these on any regular looking TL is going to make it look like dookie.

I was planning on getting these OP, because I can't find any ARC Magic ones for sale. It wouldn't be the worst thing I've spent money on

I did some reading around the forum and it seems like the guys with it on their TL bought the Mitsubishi Evo Winglets from ARC that fits our car...but the problem is they ARC went out of business and I see some guys on the internet selling them for 300+

Spend your money on what you want I just don't think these belong on a TL.

Sifu, I'm reading through this thread and just shaking my head at some of the comments.....


Look, these things, whatever you want to call them, look good. I would suggest that if you decide to get these, get an Aspec Kit first. These are aggressive, so is the Aspec Kit. So the two would go together better.

Just a thought....

You guys ever consider the side splitters as well? there are universal ones for about 300.
I think it would look dope with the fronts. just my two pennies.

It's pretty subtle as you can see.

It looks clean to me.

Looks pretty good eh?

I did some researching and the specific ones on scotterson's TL (NBP) are Arc Magics for the evo 7/8/9. Arc made winglets for the EK, and DC5, etc which all look a little different.

Getting your hands on an Arc one will be pretty hard and expensive.
The devsport ones look pretty good.

I don't know if they are worth $100 for pieces of plastic though.

See now on those TL's that GP posted, I like the look. My point earlier (which I should have explained more) was that if you just put these on a plain unmodified TL, I don't think it would look very good.

Sort of. You were just saying to add the a-spec kit and then adding these would look good.

On top of having the a-spec kit, I think that the car needs more modification like the ones GP posted. Rims, drop, etc. Again I probably should have added this info into my previous post.
