Default TTE w/ stock sides/rear ?

I am wondering if anyone has a pic of TTE lip w/ stock sides/rear... I want to run the TTE lip but im short on money (ordering 20" work equips, Custom ported deck system, Indash TV, ect ect.... so im running short and dont have enough for sides/rear bumper.

Hopefully it doesnt look too bad cause i hate the stock bumper...

The look should be okay for awhile until you just cannot stand the stock sides and the rear bumper anymore. Been there and done that.

As far as the sides are concerned, it won't look bad at all. The TTE lip adds less than an inch to the front. (It is almost an inch.) Most sides I know add more than that so you are either too high or too low at the sides.

BUT, I also noticed your 20" Equips. To me, 20s need some kind of kit to balance out the size. Even mildly lowered cars on 20s without some kind of body kit look slightly high for me.

as neo said , i agree , hers a pic with my tte naked on 19in , i think 19in is the max before its a req to have some kind of kit to make the body seem taller to offset the big look of most 20in




and heres with tte front, ltuned sides and lsportline rear

One of our sponsors: Steve Ganz - Carson Toyota.

TTE lip will be no problem. He may have some L-Tuned sides (with grille) left but since they are discontinued, it depends on stock. And I'm hearing that the L-Sportline parts are on backorder.

In any case, check with Steve for the scoop.
