It is not that much lower at the front on back. It is quite a bit lower on the side.

On the front and back, it's not so much that it is lower, it is that it extends out further to the side, and on the corners the corners are a as low and as far out as the middle.

No problems scraping yet. On the side I think it goes down as low as the mudflaps used to.

That midnight chrome, is it the factory one?

Because they say the A-SPEC "package" offered up here in canada, comes with a midnight chrome grill.

The A-Spec package may be for sale in Canada as a kit, I'm not sure.

This is just the OEM midnight chome kit, and the OEM Aero kit. I don't have A-spec badging.

Litt, I like the look-it really helps add to the sportiness of the 4G TL. I just wish the front of the kit went completely around to the front undergrill too. It looks like they made the Aspec Kit as side attachments for the front....

Hey, Litt, it's looking GOOD! So I hope they did not charge you for these accessories :-)

Yes, I agree that if you got some larger rims, that would just look perfect!!!

Yes, this is the OEM Aero kit, and the OEM midnight chrome kit.

I hear what you have all said about 18 inch wheels. However my 17 inch tires are in good condition and I don't want to throw them away. Maybe when I need new tires I will get 18 inch rims and tires.

I have some picks of the under body spoiler kit on a 2010 SHAWD grigio TL before and after the install. I tried to post them, but the links didn't come out right, so if someone wants to help me post them, I can get them up here. Kind of pathetic for someone that does computer networking for a living.

They definitely look good from the back and the side, helping to make the body look less round and bubbly, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The front doesn't look quite right though. From the side the front fender looks good, but from the front it looks like they just kind of stopped with the side view and didn't get around to blending it into the front.

All and all I think it makes a world of difference and love the change it makes to the car. The difference is very subtle, but it really helps. My thinking is that they probably should have added this to the SHAWD and called it the type-S and left the FWD without the body kit. Yeah, it's all about saving the dollars, but it definitely would have differentiated the two versions a lot.

After much head scratching, figured out it was user error. I started a new post for the before and after pictures.

Just washed the car. In certain lights the grill looks pretty dark.
