I have a 2008 tC and i am now considering on adding a lip kit, if i do go for it i definetely have decided to go with the OEM one as my choice, but i would like to first off hand get some opinions since i have not seen any with them on, i also already have the rear trunk lip spoiler on, another thing to take into consideration..heres some pics of my 08:

 

Uhm a lot of people have the OEM lip kit. Anyway yeah sure go ahead =) looks nice

 

its just i havent seen it on an 08 yet

 

ohhh that's better

 

its the same body style.... wouldn't be much of difference.

 

Alot of people have it, but then not alot of people have it. It's odd, maybe it depends where you are. I enjoyed mine, they look good

 

so i wont have any issues with this kit on if i decide to also lower it, not by much..1.5" drop i believe with TRD springs or eibach

 

u might scrape a little bit here and there on big inclines... but yea... 08s look like 07s... as do 07s 06s and 05s... look for any tC with a OEM lip kit and thats how yours will look.

 

how much of a drop do you have, it looks like a lot more than what i am going to have..so i think ill be ok

 

he also has a different kit. The OEM lip isn't THAt much lower than w/o. You'll be ok w/ a TRD drop, you just won't want to crawl up to close to a curbed parking space. the 2in drops will scrap on some inclines/declines, but you should be able to use your judgement when you come up to them. Alot of them can be taken at an angle and avoid scraping altogether

 

actually here is what exactly stated regarding the TRD springd:

All TRD coil springs are manufactured from high quality chrome-silicon wire and powder coated, and all are designed to lower the vehicle, usually from 1" to 1.125". Lowers the tC approx 1in., lowering the center mass for reduced body roll & quicker response. Provides 10% stiffer spring rate for added stability.

 

I had the oem lip kit with TRD drop back in the day...

 

looks very nice..are those 18's or 19' you have on..i have 18's but you can see that by my pics

 

i miss that car lol, but i like how it looks now .

the last pic you posted, i did a p/s of it with the front lip molded awile back

 

do you know where i can see it, to see how it would look

 

dude all the OEM lip kits for all the tc's are the same.. they havent changed yet since 05... just look at any tc with the kit and thats how it will look.. HELLO!

 

^^^

hahahahaha

 

those were 18s... they are still somewhere in my house. I should find em ahha

 

just so you know, the OEM lipkit is NOT available just by itself PRE-PAINTED. You need to purchase all 4 peices that will be color matched at once. OR you can get a lip that is PRIMERED and have it painted.

No worrys on rubbing, I have the TRD 18" 5 spokes (NOT the tC 18" EMX upgrade) , trd springs, and shocks+struts, plus the OEM body package, and there is no problems. I mean, if your going to hit something, its not because of the drop.

 

i plan to get the full pre painted oem lip kit here in miami, where my uncle is the parts manager, through him it comes out to $465.50
