04 TL with a 08 Aspec front end?

Hi.
sorry for being such a newbie.

but my 04 TL was recenlty involved in a accident.
(suv crashed into my front end..)

I really like the way the 08 Aspec front end looks.
difference headlights, front bumper and lip.
my question is...does this fit right up?
meaning everything lines up with the fenders/hood.
of course wiring might be different, but has anyone ever did this
conversion?
04 TL with a newer front end.
let me know.



Im also looking for aspec gunmetal wheels+tires.
factory ones. any idea where is a good place to find these?
ive tried search on craigslist for over 1month.

thanks!

you can do the swap with no issues. You just need a 07/08 front/rear bumper and aspec kit. The a spec side skirts are the same for all years and models.

the swap is 100% possible with ease. The parts will fit right up except for the hood trim, which will require the 07+ hood. The fenders, bumpers, lights, etc should fit fine.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but don't you need a new balast and bulb sizes for the new headlights?

yes, those will be needed but its kind obvious when the old ones don't even sit in the headlight fixture.
