Is there any way to install the CAI from AEM without removing the bumper cover?

By the way click the link and go to the TL-Aspec folder to check out pics of my car.

You could but it wouldn't be worth the trouble....removing the bumper is soooo easy...here are instructions:

btw, the car looks great....i would kill for those seats and door panels.....how about selling me your spoiler

 

Sweet pics! Too bad the A-Spec isn't available in the USA

 

omg that is one sexy azz car

 

Mine is not A-spec but I'm closing the gap...I'm making my own silver trim soon

 

Car is hot but like all TL-Ss, you need to drop that sucker! Love the interior and the lights are hot! Only thing I don't like about the A-spec are the wheels...I prefer the regular TLS wheels.

 

Nice! Like ArN 200o TL said, removing the bumper is fairly easy. It took me about 30min to remove it for the first time.

 

It'll be dropped probably next year. I've got a baby on the way so I have to save for that. Thanks for the comments. I'll have pics of the intake if it ever arrives.

 

TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR LEATHER JACKET YOU GET TOO

 

the wheels that are on the A-spec are from the Saber Type S from japan

 

Cdn A-Spec,

Have a question ... how can you own an A-spec when you live in Michigan??? (I see there's no front license plate) Did you import it???

Where in the world is Portage? Is it in the greater Detroit area? If so -- I have to see this car in person!

Love the car but the wheels remind me to much of the EX-V6 Accord, they have got to go.

 

I'm actually Canadian, I just work down in Portage (my company is also Canadian) and I am married to an American, so I get the best of both worlds. I took off the front plate as it was scratching the bumper (it attaches from underneath). As for location do you know where Kalamazoo is, as Portage is right beside it. It's about 2 hours west of Detroit on I-94. As for the jacket I haven't got it yet, but it is pretty nice. I don't mind the rims, but I may go with gunmetal or anthracite colored rims when I drop it next year.

 

hello Cdn A-Spec welcome to the a-Spec club...i got mine about a month and 1/2 ago in agean blue..i just adore this car i have done some mods already ...the only thing that i am not fussy for is the rims ..i am going to get them replaced this weekend ..was thinking of the Konig imagines but still not sure..will be posting some picks of my baby when i get the rims...when did you get yours .....i didnt recieve my jacket yet but the dealer said it should be within a couple of weeks......keep in touch....

 

Yeah drop the bumper, its much easier in the long run. I cant imagine all the twisting and scratched up arms you would get trying to squeeze your arm up into the bumper.

I for one like the A-spec rims. Would love to trade my stockers for them. I am also debating the body colored front grill as well.
