A-Spec & Lips vs. Spoilers

I'm a bit confused about what exactly A-Spec (means?) differences LOOK like?

I saw a thread that listed the parts at one point....but...

New 07 Tl Type-S NBP 6MT owner.


Does A-Spec apply only to Base TL's and Type-S's already 'have' all A-Spec parts?

Also although I've seen a few pics of wings, I was wondering if there was a direct comparison of a NBP Type-S lip vs wing picture someone could point me towards?

I took delivery of it with just a lip, so trying to decide if I want to change it to the wing or not....

Well an A-Spec edition of the TL usually adds a front and rear lip, different side skits, different springs, and a trunk lip spoiler. Hopefully that helps you out. The Type S has the option to have the A-Spec added to it. It usually does not come with it. And honestly, if I were you, I would keep the trunk lip spoiler. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

In addition to what Biggpinyot said, the Type-S A-Spec kit is different than the base TL A-Spec kit. The sides are exactly the same but the front and rear lips looks quite different. Do a search for Type-S A-Spec and then TL A-Spec and you should pull up quite a few pictures.

OP-if you take the time to search/look around, all of your questions have been answered before. This car has been out for 10yrs now.


This thread shows all lip kits, and is still on the first page of the main forum.

Yeah...I referenced that thread

I admitted I was confused...

Bear one thing in mind: the car has been out 10 years, but I've owned it 2 days, been a member here for 10 DAYS and am slightly overwhelmed by all the different mods and differentiating them....still you make a valid veteran member point, I'll try to be less nooblivious

And even seasoned posters in that thread said gee that's great but the other non stock mods make it a bit hard to know what you're looking at if you didn't already know....

I'll just keep reading & looking and do less askin till there's something really worth askin

Peace

The aspec kit for the 3g tl consisted of, the lip kit, 18"wheels, stiffer-lower suspension, a different steering wheel, better brake pads for the AT models, a trunk lip or wing spoiler and a trunk badge.It was a dealer installed option in the begining and eventualy dealerships started selling pieces of the kit individualy. Not 100% sure but I believe all that stuff has long since been discontinued and whaterever dealers have not is just leftover stock that dident sell when the cars were still new. Hope that helps..
