if it is just an extension from the backside.. then i would say it would look tacky.. if you can somehow mount it on with some bolts or something stronger then double sided tape that would be great.. i dont think double sided take is strong enough to hold it in place for you to use it effectively.. unless you dont use it at all and its all for show.

Thats looks pretty nice but a bit too extreme. I tried to make it not overly done. I extended the side of the CF paddle so the fingers have adequate space to shift.

great shots, best looking for 4g on the forum IMO. only thing I would change is the exhaust tips, I think they'd look better staggered with the outside tips being a bit shorter than the inside tips. good work!

I thought about staggering the Remus tip on the exhaust but kind of worry about cutting and rewelding the tips.

You should overlay the beak next if you haven't already.

Wow, your car has come a long way, looks great! I actually had an 09 TL getting the RJ kit installed and 13 TL getting wheels installed in the shop the other day. So we test fitted the rear part of the RJ kit on the 13 and guess what, it fit perfectly. Go figure. So if you want to get a balanced look from front to sides into rear, the RJ rear option is on the table.

I would love to do the front beak and rear trunk garnish if the parts is not over $300. Unless someone donate the front and rear garnish for free to me I would do it.

You could remove them and send them to whomever does your cf laminating. Yes, I know those pieces are pricey. I look up their pricing when I was thinking of buying them to have them painted.

Ron did you by any chance get pics of the rear kit on the '13 when you test fitted it? Just curious to see how it look.
