Quite simply, I care what the side looks like. I like the side profile of the tC2 and the lines on the side are very difficult to get right.

You're right that the car looks great from the front, but unless you're always doing 80 mph, more people around town will see your car from the side.

Thanks for humoring us.

What he said ^

But furthermore, please don't get us wrong; we love the looks of your ride. On some cars though, when people add just a front lip, it ruins the side profile view. Matter of fact, I hate the way the NIA splitter looks from the side on our cars because it ubruptly stops with no curve. It just doesn't blend well. That is why I did not buy it. Paul and I simply want to get a good view from all angles so we can make an informed choice before we buy.

Perfect! Now we can tell that it DOES infact flow well with the rest of the car, for the mostpart. What I mean is, we can't be 100% sure without some different lighting, and a close up. My vote is with just this pic, is that it flows 100% better than the NIA lip does. But honestly with just this pic, I can't fully say yay or nay.

You'll never want a flat with that spare.

Or:

Is that the Denver Broncos because it's crushing the steelers

Or:

Is that your lowering kit?

Ok, i'm done.

Thanks for putting up the side picture. From the picture, it seems to flow well, though if I got the front lip, I may just have to get the mud flaps to go with it. I'm still surprised Druidiron and I have been the only ones asking for side pictures, but to each his own.

As always, car is looking good.

Haha. That's what I meant. I think your mud flaps help tie everything together. And at this point, I'm just going to let this whole side picture thing die. :p
