Cuz I like the side moldings and they help protect the car. Yes, the front lip is there but didn't take that angle cuz the sun was in a bad spot

I will post more pics

I am just giving you a hard time, they dont look half as bad because they are lower, anyways, your car will be the first car I see with the front lip, that is a real pic! my 2012 conversion is riding on you

No pressure

I know it is bolt-on/tape on. I asked the parts manager. As for how many pieces, I don't know yet.

I will get more pics tomorrow from different angles.

Wow! Another Bellanova White beauty!!!

The BWP colour is really growing on me. It is turning out to be one of the best colours for the 2012 TL!

You should take those front pics in the sunlight tomorrow. And take some pics from the rear, too. (Too many requests? Lol.)

Congrats!

Great color choice. This is the first 2012 that I've seen that I really like. The the body kit, and color really makes this vehicle. Congrats

Wow, your cars are close in your garage - you have to pull out the TL to get in the truck?

I definitely like the front spoiler /skirt better on the 2012 as it's more tucked in and more formed to the body where the 09-11 skirts just stuck out too much and really looked like an add-on.

The truck is rarely driven, so I get out on the drivers side of the car. Being close is no problem.. plus, it was the first time I parked her in the garage.

Nice car and congrats on the purchase. I have actually seen the new '12 TL in person with the new OEM body kit in person. I have to say that I like the '12 front lip much more than the '09-'11's front lip. However, I am definitely not a fan of the rear lip since it does not go around and wrap the car around the dual exhaust tips. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get the car for from Sterling McCall before taxes and fees?
