I used black, but there is also white, clear, and battle ship grey which should pretty much cover all the most popular OEM color options.

I want it too! Any pics of just the front, with the stock skirts and rear?

Would you consider taking the older grilles in on partial "trade" for a newer issue grille? I bought mine used from Allon, but looking to get one with better fit.

You can apply the changes yourself, just get a step drill bit to enlarge the primary holes up top by 2mm, thats all we really did.
That will allow you to shift the grille position and tighten up the middle.

Have you had a chance to see if your new rear skirts will cover the piece of the rear bumper that has to be taken out in order to accommodate the OEM kit? From the pics it looks as though there may be a fitment issue for those of us that have the OEM kit.

We will be addressing that for sure, our kit will cover the holes and cutouts of the OEM kit.

new ronjon legends type II mounted. Ronjon is using my TL for the test fitment of the new bodykit, some pics I snapped at lunch today. Car is in need of a wash, will post some more before pics after she is all cleaned up.

Hi Ron. I've been watching this thread along with the other one religiously and I had a few questions before I preorder the kit. I was wondering how many of the factory mounting points will be used to install the kit? The factory kit uses very little 3M tape and I was wondering if this kit would be the same, and most of the installation would be nuts and bolts.

email sent. call in to place a preorder.

We will be making our kit to install with 3M tape in the front with screws on the inside of the wheel well (where the holes cannot be seen) and it will cover the holes and cutting done to make the OEm kit fit.
The sides will be replacement sides so those will bolt on using the OEM mounting points.
The rear will be the saem as the front, and will cover the cutting made to have the OEm kit fit.

so happy i bought the a-spec kit again for my new TL...

mugen_kid

I had too sorry Do you think you will take the new kit off for the Ron Jon kit? I really like how the OEM looks in the rear, and also how it wraps around the whole bumper. I love the Ron Jon kit just wish the rear had a center piece!

Actually, the oem kit is a two piece, as is ours. And we had to extend ours to the same spot as the oem kit is to cover up the holes and cutting made to make the oem kit fit.

rondog

Our kit covers the holes and cutting needed for the OEM kit to fit.
Just in case you were wondering...

mugen_kid

Oh nice! After looking at more photos of the OEM rear kit I do see it to be a two piece kit, my bad! Keep up the great work Rondog

ieh

Hey Ron, I really want to get the side skirt.
Have you guys decided approximately how much will be just the side skirt?

Got any updates for us Rondy? Pictures help increase the patience

I'm flying out there next to mark up the kit for the final revisions. We're almost there.
All the uneven lines, all the ride height clearance, all the slight adjustments and details will be taken care of in this final stage. I won't settle or leave any stone unturned.

Cant wait to see it on MY WDP. That front lip looks sick as hell. Its turning out great Rondog keep up the great work.

rondog

Thanks, don't forget there will be a splitter piece connecting the two "fangs" in front, it will be removable, so if you scrape or damage it, you will be able to either leave it out or replace just that piece. It's also going to be nicely supported, so no sagging or distortion. We'll also be putting mesh behind the opening on the bottom. This kit is going to be extremely high quality...

potmilkz

wow the side skirt look extreamly beefed up compared to the rest of the kit.

yonimation

thanks Ron! i cant wait!!!

rondog

Its very preliminary. I'll also be re-evaluating the height of the front / sides / rear to make sure it doesn't look mis-proportioned. Might end up taking it back up 0.5".

MurkyRiversTL

Thanks for the update, that is exactly what I like to see. Rondy this is looking fantastic and your attention to detail is what we need when it comes to a kit for the 4G. Will definitely be worth the price and good enough for double what your asking.

types1fan

On your first illustration of the front lip I almost passed out when I saw how low it was. I believe you said it was 1.25 under the front bumper. I live in the Bronx NY man and the streets are the worst in the boroughs. I like the idea of raising it 0.5, that would probably save me from replacing a few front lipkits.

ieh

Hey Ron, I really want to get the side skirt.
Have you guys decided approximately how much will be just the side skirt yet?

rondog

iTrader: (1)

This Friday we will be shooting the kit on a car to get a real good idea of how low it is and how much space we have. The kit is almost done, and any revisions at that time will be made.

ieh, the sides will be available after we complete the first 15 preorders, pricing is not yet established.

types1fan, the front will be slightly raised, but I wanted to get the measurements on the car first. I think we'll be making ghr front fangs a little higher off the ground, but the area right in front of the front wheels will be the same.

PenguinTL

Can't wait to see the kit painted!

I'm a complete noobie when it comes to paint so please don't flame on me if this question is irrelevant.

Since two different materials are expected to be used for this kit, does anybody know if folks with the WDP color will run into any issues trying to match the paint color? I'm concerned b/c I currently have two different shades of white on the car, bumper and sheet metal, already and don't want a 3rd and/or 4th shade.

rondog

The material has no effect opn the paint, once primer is shot onto it, the paint is all the same. I've heard of paint additive that allows a little flex added to the paint may have a minimal effect on the color, but if you have the WDP, your best option is to have a local bodyshop do the color match so they have more control with the car on hand for reference.

pdpboy

Ron - thanks for the confirmation, you are awesome with the follow ups and questions. Much appreciated.

No Problem, I'm just as excited to see progress as everybody else.

Waiting on some pics now, nice little update coming later tonight...

Cant wait to see the fully finished product!

Ok, here are some progress pics, this car is lowered with H&R springs, and the kit effectively lowers the front, sides and rear by 1.35" all around. There is PLENTY of clearance, and on top of that, the middle of the front has a higher ground clearance than the rest of the kit. We'll be making the final tweaks now, and straightening out all the crooked lines once we sign off on the design. The middle of the front will also get a diffuser style bridge between the two "fangs" and that piece will be a removable, replaceable part, so that will help with scraping or damage. Also, we'll be toning down the fins angles, for a slightly less winged look.

Here are some pics:
