personally, I do not like it at all. It looks like it belongs on a wrx or something...

i bet if you cut it down to make it shorter, almost flush, it would look better... way too over powering for the tl imo. get it dropped and pick up a rear lip would be a good way to go.

It's not really my thing, but if you like it, that's what matters.

Why the hate, everyone?

Positive feedback: your car would look amazing if you removed the rear aircraft spoiler and Nascar front lip. Someone has to tell you how horrible that looks or else you'll continue thinking it's ok... and that would be wrong.

The wing, the lip, the wheels, the stance. Nothing goes together.

It's your style .. you like it , then who cares. But it makes the car looks outdated with all that stuffs add on to it. IMO.

Oh jeez... Better watch out, your car might get on anti-rice.com

I'm sure this porsche owner had good intentions also..

you'd be better off getting a smaller wing and ditching those rims, maybe a drop too. the front lip doesn't look too bad, but it's not my style.

that car would look sick if that tall part was gone, leaving just the shorter bottom part.

Pork-fried..... ummm RICE!. Not bashing, just think cars look way better when they look sleek and clean. not guady and overdone. there's a reason that that's the only one you'll see like it... b/c it looks ricey and most enthusiasts prefer the opposite.

Ya know, I think the OP kinda gets the message.

Maybe a mod can step in, close thread and end the carnage?

I mean it's not like he was being an ass or anything; his tastes are just not what the community considers .... uhmm .... aesthetically pleasing.

^ I would still drive that porsche just because its a porsche.

To the OP good job on doing your own thing its different and original, muc props for that. I know some of you guys don't like the look but OP didn't have to post the pics. I say that he is pretty brave in posting these pics because I think he knew that he would receive some critiscm but just wanted to show a different TL. Plus how many times can we go back and forth and argue about Type S bumpers or Aspec Kit, at least he gave us something to conversate about.

It could be worse... lol

All BS aside though, to each his own. If it was a little shorter/closer to the trunk, it would look OK. Good luck with your modding... please drop it a lil it would look nice.....r

Yeah, it comes off looking way bigger in the pics. Had a good time meeting you guys. Sorry I had to split before the exhaust mod was done. Wanted to hear it. You guys had some very good looking TL's. Props to the Mazda 6 and IS as well. We'll have to hook up again (when it's warmer).

seriously post more pics;

the front is pretty interesting, but i still can't really "feel" the spoiler, so for now i don't have any real comments/judgemtn...though i will say the paint match seems a bit off, but i'm not really sure hence the desire for more pics!!

I personally don't like this at all... but like you've said to each their own. I personally think all it's missing is a Honda badge and "Civic" should replace "TL" in the rear... just my thoughts though

Kind of reminds me of the silliness of the a-spec body kit.

Well... somebody had to change the direction of the thread.

The guy likes it. It's not my style, for sure. Hell... like I said... I think the a-spec body kit is kind of silly. So you know where I stand when it comes to additional exterior parts for the car.
