I figured I'd hop on the aspec exhaust trim...but thats not happening.

I'll pay for shipping!
i'll see how much shipping is and let you know, what zip code? i'm not surprised the girl wanted money, i think the acura "discount"/non-list price for this set is like $100 for whatever reason so i had them on the BM for a price too haha

and the term, "you have to pay to play" comes to mind. that is if you want the aspec lip, you'll have to pay a little more to get it custom colored.
Okay, so here's what I'm thinking. I'm interested in your opinion I have the alabaster silver car, I'll get the black pearl front OEM front lip spoiler, leave it black, get the roof done black with the liquid vinyl, and add a black pearl lip spoiler on the back. How do you think that will look?

such an entertaining thread lol
if you can't find a lip in the color you want, just paint it. pretty simple. you could even do it yourself, the lip isn't even that large of a piece to paint.

I agree. I found myself chuckling a couple of times. I think you're right. Paint it, problem solved. Easy Peasy! I'll save my money for something that REALLY matters! Like a new set of wheels! LMAO!

I had googled your name in like the 2nd post or whatever and found out that you're a girl.
girls SHOULD have better color coordination than us, guys!

do you seriously think mis-matched lips would look good?
i do like the pink wheels with the black car you posted, that looks really good!!
(see, I knew you have style )

not trying to bash at all. just, I have trouble matching my socks, while you're dressed to the nines.(well, I hope you dress nicely.)

So, I looked for some custom ones instead, and the only thing I'm able to come up with is the Sarona spoiler. Custom Acura TL 2007 Front Add-on Lip - Sarona

More expensive and not painted. Also I read some bad stuff about their "fit".

Any suggestions? The only other thing I can come up with is to buy a White Pearl OEM one and have it stripped and painted. Again, MORE money! Sucks.

Your thoughts?
As mentioned by the other posters, its all matter of how bad do you want the kit?? I have 08 ABS Type S and ran into the same issue with the color mismatch. I just picked my kit up the other month from Bruce at Endless RPM. The side skirts came in ABS, whereas the front and rear bumper are in WDP color. If you want the kit, you will HAVE to get it painted, no other option. If you are in the States, consider yourself lucky that you can still get it for under $1000, shipping included. With import fees, I ended up paying $1250.. still have to get it painted, lol. G'luck!

Well, I bought the black one, took it to a body shop, had them paint and install it. It turned out great! Now about that dang spoiler.....
