I need to clean the car to get up close shots. It is hard to do though because of how whiteout reflects the light. I need to get it on an overcast day. From just looking at it you would think it came on the car when I got it. But if you go up close and snap a pic it looks like it doesn't match in the pic.

The thing is you need to compare the same "brightness" areas to know if it matches. When the sun hits it you get really bight white highlights, some middle whites and some grey areas. It all depends on the angle of the part and how much curve it has.

Does that make sense to anyone other than me lol?

Love the CWEST Aero Kit. Clean and looks perfect on your car! =)

Looks tacky, ugly, and paint doesn't match that well. I'm sorry I'm being honest.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The look is not everyone's cup of tea but the paint is a near dead match.

Camera's mess with whiteout. I have pictures where my own car stock looks like panels don't match. It is all in lighting and curves and how the reflect.

I can give you the paint but not the kit. It reminds me of those old Hondas http://www.ridelust.com/wp-content/u...r1-500x280.jpg

That is taking it to an extreme. Like comparing a lizard with godzilla. It is a bit more aggressive than say a 5AD but in now way an "shogun kit".

Ok maybe I exaggerated a little bit but still. That front bumper ad on looks pretty tacky.
The rear ad on would be ok without that non-functional vent in the corners.
Side skits are ok; they look very similar to Trd.

IMO not even the 5ad does it on whiteout.

How close are the colors? The white from the Five Axis kit barely matches at all.

Do you have any close up shots of the color matching? That seems to be everyone's biggest concern IMO. It's hard to match Whiteout from what I've been told

What are the black lines on the kit? Is that weather striping does it cone with it if so?

jadewbj 04-14-2014 10:38 PM

Yes they are a gasket and come with it. I got grey ones and will be changing them out soon.

Does the Rear lip extension just cover up the stock bumper or is there some kind of cutting required? Extremely interested in getting this for my Asphalt.

Frs32907 04-14-2014 11:30 PM

Where did you get it from? Anyplace state side have these instock?

jadewbj 04-14-2014 11:44 PM

Got it through a friend. I think there are a few vendors on here that sell it. The rear just goes over. No cutting.
