'04 TL base with Type S bumper and Aspec?

ive been searching but can't find much...
so does the 07-08 type s bumper + a spec front bumper, skirts, and rear bumper fit an 04 base model ? my step dad took my car to work and an RV hit my car and ran. so were stuck. with a wrecked front bumper. so thinking of an upgrade. will this work with no mods or light mods? plus thinkin of adding the fogs too.

As far as I have read the a-spec for the TL-S will not fit on a base model without doing some cutting. Best bet is to get a TL-S front bumper but I am not sure if this will require any modifications or not to put the TL-S bumper on a base.

There should be some threads around about it.

yes, a type-s bumper will fit the 04 TL.
I thought, i explained this to you already.

but you will need to buy all the accessories for the type-s bumper. which runs up the price.

you're looking at:
unpainted type-s bumper - ~$250
paint - ~$250
a- bar - $77
lower grills - 30 each.
honey comb grill - ~$30
fog lights - ~$220 each from dealer...~$175 for pair at USR

you're looking at about a $700-800 upgrade.

then tack on the aspec kit. - ~$140ish

no modifications if you are putting on a type-s bumper (front and rear); you just need the accessories like crabman suggested. Side skirts fit too fyi

You can really see the different shape of the foglights and how the Type-S angles the opposite way the base does.

Base A-Spec unmodified:


Jaime's custom molded base A-Spec"


The area which I circled in red is the only difference between the Type-S and base IIRC.
Get that part molded to shape like Jaime did and you're good!
see the differences?

you would still have to modify it. I have the 07-08 base bumber with the 04-06 a-spec front lip modified to fit the bumper.

04-06 Aspec molded onto Type S Bumper. Decided this aspec looks more aggressive. so got this done last month.


cost about roughly $400-500 for bodywork and paint.

I love the look of the 04-06 a-spec lip on the 07-08 TL. I always liked the 04-06 tl over 07-08 just because the front lip. Great job on the mod!

you did ask for lips.

the aspec kit is the lip, silly.

and I did answer your question, while providing answers to others who wanted more info on the lips.
kthxbye.

I found someone that's parting out a types same color as mine so most of the parts you listed will be on it. But I don't know what the a-bar is? Can you explain it to me what it is

Lol. Didn't think of that.

One more clarification. When I take off my stock 04 bumper the type s bumper will line up with all the same holes and clips?

Question

I have an 04 base TL with the Aspec front and rear lips. Will the Type S rear lip fit directly on? I want to get the quad tipped XLR8 non resonated catback exhaust system.

I have searched azine but it seems everyone wants to switch to the type s rear bumper so i havent found an answer to my question

Thanks guys and gals!

Yes it will fit but you have to cut up the exhaust port area a little bit as the type-s is wider.

^ Exactly what mahara said. Fitting the quad tip exhaust requires some trimming. If you take your time it won't look too bad. Search around for other who have done it.

I mean if you take your time it will look stock. The a-spec lip covers any of your cuts. Just remember that there is no going back to only a stock bumper after the cuts have been made.

There may also be some modding required for where the lip mounts on the inside of the wheel well. But don't quote me on that.
