Had the E&G EGX kit installed last week.

Very nice. Did you have it installed or did you do it yourself?

looks amazing! do you still have stock exhaust? the rear end of your car looks sinister as hell. i think i like it more than the new v rear end. do they sell just the rear piece? please take more pics and post!

Beautiful car! I really like that kit, suits the lines very well. The only thing that seems a bit off to me is the exhaust exits through the rear valence (it looks like they should exit further to the center of the car). Still looks great though. Also, are the sides of this kit a 2-piece deal? It looks like there is a break where the rear and front doors meet. Keep up the good work!

Nice!

Looks like we got the same kit! My dealer added the kit to mine before I picked it up on May 1st.

yep-same kit.

dcssquared5 - at first I thought the same thing about the exhaust exits (btw-they are just tips added to the stock exhaust). Looking at it, closer you'll notice they are centered under the reflectors and they are actually positioned as designed. Not sure why they opened it up moving toward the center they way they did, but I've decided it is a minor design issue that really doesn't bother me too much given the integration of the rest of the kit.

cts_mark - I only live a few miles down the road from the manufacturer so they installed it. Did a very nice job for a very reasonable price.

badblkcts - I don't believe they sell pieces separately although I do know each piece has its own part number. You can't buy directly from E&G unless they are installing it so you might be able to go through a supplier/dealer to see if they have a way to buy individual components. They also offer several mesh grill options (pricey) but I'm not yet sure I really like the full mesh grill look yet.

Thanks all for the comments.

Very nice OneLapCoastie. If you can, can you get more photos. I think I'm going to go with this kit. I was thinking about the vogue kit but its a little pricey. But I've always had my eye on this E&G kit but noone at the time had it. I need to find a dealer to order me the front lip and side skirts. The rear isn't what I'm looking for.

Will try to get some better pics and post.

Hey, the kit looks great man. Congrats on a beautiful looking CTS. I first saw this kit a few weeks ago and would have gotten it by now as well if it hadn't been for a two cracked rims. Anyway, I hope to join you soon among those sporting this great kit. Do you plan on adding any other mods?

I have the D3 intake, might consider moving to a fixed caliper brake and possibly 19" CTS-V wheels. I would really like to be able to install the V Recaros. Seats are definitely the weakest part of the car.

Nice kit, it's in my list. I found in one on below link. Not sure if their price is worth for unpainted parts ( they don't provide diamond white in paint color list). If you know any site where I can get same parts with painted diamond white please let me know..can't wait to have them installed on my car..

I love the E&G body kit. Ordered one today and i will have a custom shop paint it. Will send pics once installed. That is the best kit i have seen so far. The side skirts make the car look twice as nice.
