Thank you for the compliments. The wheels on the car is stock and I'm riding on Tein CS. Got some SSR GT3 but waiting for a deal on some tires.

Looks good Lex2go

I have a simple question: Before putting on the l-tuned, have you seen the lsportline? What made you choose the l-tuned? I have never seen any kits in person and want to know if the Ltuned and Lsportline sides are totally different, right??? You or Anyone can me when they answer this question

My speculation:
Lsportline more angular, sharper edges
Ltuned more curvy

Yes they are different. Your speculations are pretty correct. They both "curve" differently though. The L-Sportline is flat at the bottom while the L-Tuned curves up in the middle. The L-Sportline flares out while the L-Tuned curves in at the bottom.

The VERY** noticeable thing for me, though, is that the L-Sportline skirts are not symmetrical. I like the sharper, aggressive flare of the passenger skirt while the driver side one is a bit more subtle.

** Well, maybe it is not that noticeable since until I mentioned it, some of my friends did not notice it either. They certainly do now that I've pointed it out.

Really, the Lsports are different on each side? On purpose? thats weird. I'm glad I got Ltunes

I don't think it is on purpose. Here are pics of D-Man63's car:

Passenger side (sharper aggresive flare):


Driver side (flatter flare):


And it is not just the lighting. I did not even notice this inconsistency until I was able to see the kit in person.

So what does that mean- Their original mold was bad and they just went with it?

I can't even begin to second guess why. I'm just reporting what I see.

Look at the ends of the skirts at the wheel well. See how if moves down and flares out? The flare on passenger side is more pronounced making it more aggressive.
