Go 04 kit all around for the 06 but go ahead and get the type-s rear lip. It looks better and will open the doors for more exhaust options in the future.
I mean you have to drill through the rear bumper anyways...might as well just cut a little bit and get the type-s now.

Or go all TypeS Aspec?
My dad is a pretty big car guy so I doubt I'd really run into any major install issues but hey, ya never know.

If you are '04-'06, imo, get the base front and sides and the rear type-s. That opens up a much bigger and better world of exhaust possibilities.

This thread is specifically for the A-Spec body pieces. There are plenty of other threads about suspension and the other pieces that comprise the full A-Spec package.

It can be done. There is a thread with plenty of pics, I forgot who but if you google "acurazine type-s a-spec on base" you should find it.

Versus designed a front bumper but Eric's TL is the only one I've seen with it.
If you like it, good luck trying to find it. I think Eric said only 5 or so were made.

I'm not sure what the part numbers are. PM a vendor such as AckTL05 or go to an Acura dealership's part catalog and search for them.

This is a great post but can someone show me some pictures of what the side skirts look like not installed yet? I don't see any difference from a stock body tl and one with the side skirts.

Sorry to bring this thread back up but is there any modification reqd to the rear bumper if I were to install a 04-06 a spec rear lip to the base 04-06 rear bumper? Or it is a direct fit with no cutting?

"Important Notes:
-The Type-S A-Spec front and rear pieces can fit on Base TL bumpers. Modifications will have to be made to do so since the bumpers have different overall shapes and since the Type-S rear bumper has wider exhaust outlets.
-BOTH 04-06 and 07-08 Base front lips will fit a Type-S, but modifications will have to be made
-ALL A-Spec sideskirts are the same. There is NO difference between 04-06 Base, 07-08 Base, and 07-08 Type-S A-Spec sideskirts. Part numbers and paint codes may differ but they look identical and install the same way.
-ALL 04-08 Base rear lips are the same."
Does anyone know how much modification it takes to fit the 2004-2006 a-spec front lip to the 2007-2008 tl-s?
