Oh, I'm loving the look of the front splitter and side skirts, it just seems the skirt on the rear bumper isn't quite as well integrated as the other pieces. It looks like the rear bumper pieces should be triangular so that it tapers at the rear of the bumper. I wish I could see it in person.

I've email S Factor Fabrication twice, with no response. Is it better to contact them by phone?

I am so tempted to get these, but the over (under?) hang scares me catching something either on the road or when getting in/out of the car. I have small kids - do you have to consciously step over it getting in and out?

Amazing build btw! Got a new shot of the trunk? I have been debating if I should go stealth or not.

definitely text him. He answers pretty quickly via text. The rear splitters actually do have tapered edges and a tad more adjustability of the amount protruding.

you definitely have to be mindful not to step on the side splitters. Kids would be a hazard if they aren't naturally mindful of your car. Luckily my son is a bit older now and he knows to be careful getting in and out as to not hit other cars etc. As low as I am, I have definitely scraped pretty much the whole front bottom lip by now getting in and out of parking lots.

I'm gonna try my best to leave it in eco mode and cruise, but it's hard. I leave it in sport at all times. My last TLX was always in eco mode and it was a dog that fell flat on its face if you gassed it
