TL kit owners

Is everyone using 99-01 lip kits for their install ?
Are these kits able to be installed nicely without molding them in ?

you can use either the 99-01 or 02-03 lip but the 99-01 looks better. thats the one everyone has gone with. i wouldnt do the kit without molding it in my opinion. otherwise you'll have gaps.

Few have also done the wings west kit as well. Usually just the front and/or rear...sides don't look as good.

Carbon fiber vinyl would be nice because you wouldn't have to prep it for paint. Just spray a clear coat on it for grip and vinyl away.

Or what about laying some real cf down on it ?
It has to be possible to make it look decent.

I have a 99-01 kit for my 03 CLS6 but I haven't put it on yet. Trying to decide if I'm going to put it on or sell it.

Their is a guy near me selling 99-01 kit with a WW spoiler for 300.
I emailed him asking if he would sell the kit with out the spoiler.
I havent heard from him yet but, if he's willing to cut the wing out of the deal and I can apply some negotiation I might be able to get the kit for a fair price.

No chance to flex the buying power.
Seller said it was sold the same day it was posted.

I am getting married october 8th and need to slow down on spending anyway. I never knew how much money was needed to get married and have a wedding.
even though we are having it in the back yard we have well over 2k into it and we still need rings and food and little things.
She wants wedding stuff by the 8th
I want car parts by the 1st
Car guys always have their prioritys straght

I installed the front lip without molding it:

The gaps aren't bad either.

Links? You could always pick up the Wings West front lip and just chop off those little wing things on the ends.

I saw this listing the other day so decided to buy it. It is a 99-01 tl oem front lip attached to an aftermarket bumper. I plan on getting an extra bumper and adding this to the list of side projects.
