I would get a TS in no time over Autokits, but with the drop its too low for NYC roads, so Autokits X for me. Both look good though.

Depends on what look you are trying to achieve. I personally prefer the Autokit lip over AIT as it is more subtle.

I've had both on my G and both look awesome. Either way you go is good, but like someone said, it depends on where you are. The TS definitely sits lower than the Autokits so if ride height is a big issue, go with Autokits for sure.

Here's my G with the TS and the Gen3

i have a blue slate g37 and although i dont have either kit installed i think the TS kit would look better.

its tricky tho because the blue slate is such a unique color. i was thinking about getting the TS and then blacking my grill and putting a black accent on the TS side skirts. i think that would look good

I'd go ait over auto kits, but there are both nice. The auto kits is more mellow and not as low as the ait. The ait is really low especially on the sides.

I think matte silver accents look the best on blue slate cars. The black gets buried and you can't even see the contrast that well.

Get the AutoX lip if you plan on molding it.

Exactly, it 100% depends no the look you're going for because they both give COMPLETELY OPPOSITE looks.

The autokits is less agressive and gives more of a clean look, especially when molded.
The TS is very agressive, drops the front quite a bit, so depending on how low you drop your car, it will determine how low of a lip you really want.

Why does everyone keep calling it TS? It's not the AIT Top Secret kit, it's the AIT S-Tech kit.. They stole Top Secrets design, but not their name, I give them "some" credit for that.

I agree with the other guys ak if your gonna mold it. I plan on going this route myself this spring. But if you want more aggressive and don't wanna spend the extra money molding get the ts

Thanks for all the inputs guys. I'm planing to keep the stock height and not planing to lower it just yet since NYC roads are crazy.
How is the AIT TS fitment? And how low is the AIT TS compare to AutoKits X? But do I still need to worry about it since I'm keeping the stock height?

Thanks

Because it ISSSSSS the Top Secret Kit/Mold/Shape/Design...but its AIT's VERSION of it.


Its still known as the Top Secret front lip, even if it is a replica.

No one calls is the "S-Tech" kit unless you go on AIT's website to order it...
