The front is still a bit plain for my tastes, but an improvement over the 06-08 model. And that rear + the quad exhaust looks fantastic.

I like the new Toms kit. Aggressive but not too aggressive. I think the previous Toms kit was too close to stock looking. Just my opinion.

You guys don't know what you're talking about, obviously the old Tom's is better :] Of course I'm slightly biased :] :] :]

Honestly though, the quad exhaust is sick but I do really like the old Tom's better as it's just cleaner. The new Tom's rear is trying too hard to be an AMG rear from an SL, and the front looks too much like other lips.
