Slata,

First, there is no need to make 2 threads on the same thing/theme. I've moved your first thread in the 4G TL generic area to the NY/NJ Regional Forum.

Second, I'll leave this thread open because you've posted pictures of your body kit.

Third, I'm guessing that you want a Body Shop to both paint and install this kit for you, yes?

I would say in or around 800 is a fair price to paint and install all that stuff.

Just curious, why does the rear look like it is slanted up toward the rear deflector?

I see ron chose to follow the rear reflector, instead of the body line, makes sense now. Looks though to be crooked, upwards with the design? Hard to tell from pics.

There is a difference between a shop specializing in insurance claims and a true custom shop who are passionate about their work. Deladrian's car was done by a passionate custom shop and it shows. They know how to deal with non-OEM parts.

BTW, we followed the crease line which actually sits right under / on the rear reflector. So anything else would have looked awkward. As if the TL rear isn't awkward enough.

Remind me Sh-slata, what wheels did you get or plan on getting?

Once painted and shot properly (without all closeup distortion) the sides and rear flow well and are more aggressive than the OEM sides and rear. We didn't want to just make another conservative kit.





this shot shows how lined up the kit is with the rest of the bumper:

The RJ rear is very nice. Wish it came painted; I would use it with the OEM lip kit.

I love the RJ Front Lip way more than the OEM one.

I love the rear OEM kit on lighter colored models, but I think the RJ rear lip might be better on the crystal black pearl models.

OEM rear is too hard to follow the lines on the CBP models i think, ends up just making it look bulky. On the white models, you can see the black part over the tips, but that blends in on the CBP models.

Love that blue though. It's an incredible color.
