Sorry but the front needs to be one piece. The sides are blah and need to be lower to match the front if anything. The rear reminds me of ebay kits. Honestly I am not trying to be rude. I applaud you for bringing more stuff to the table for the tC. I just really dont see how this kit improves the bodylines at all. It kinda gives off a corolla type s feel up front and makes me think ricer.

At first I wasn't feelin' it when I saw the blue one and I think the black and white one just doesnt do it justice.
However, I saw the silver one. and It actually looks cool.. The straight from the back shot of the spoiler makes the end look kinda sunk in, kinda like the new Mustangs ( which I personally think looks neat-o )

I also work in a place that has custom molds and tooling made up. All I know is that our molds are made from aluminum and each one costs around 10k. Its a very expensive business.

good job on the lip kit ! =)

kit looks good except the front. reminds me of the previous gen corolla s.
It might look good with the rs1 front lip.

Isn't the side skirt as long as a full front lip would be?

Design should be your first decision and then fine tune it for manufacturability and shipment. As you have it now if someone buys a complete kit the shipping on a kit with a full front lip would not be that much more money and people expect to pay upto $200 for shipping on a body kit.

i do like the general idea of the kit..... here is just my input.... if u made the front lip that was one full piece that connected the to front side..... and the side skirts match the height of the front and rear lip..... i think it would look like 10x better
