Default I also need advice on putting a body kit together!

Got my L-tuned sides about 1 week ago from sewell and yes . . the grill and clips came too. Just need some opinions on which front and rear bumpers would look right with the sides. I know a few people here got the TTE lip and L-sportline rear. That combo does look nice and im gonna use it as my last option but maybe some other combo would look better? I was thinking explosion front and Veilside executive rear?

Do an advanced search for LTuned sides. Lots of pics will come up. I too am looking for something but am not a fan of the TTE lip. Some that I have seen are:

PandaGS430: Molded Greddy front, Ltuned sides, Veilside rear
CaptainBone: Toms V300 front, Ltuned sides, Veilside rear

I also like the the other Toms front (s630) The AbFlug CF lip (close to TTE but better lines) Both of those are on users cars too.

The Explosion front might be too boxy for the curvy Ltuned sides...
