'07-'08 front Aspec lip on '04-'06 bumper?
First off just wanted to say that im new to az so be nice. Yes i have search but can't find a tread on this. But Will a 07-08 front aspec lip fit on 04-06 bumper? I know the grills are different but the 04-06 aspec lip fits on the 07-08 with some modification. So Im just wondering if the 07-08 lip would be the same vise versa. If there is already a tread on this please link me to it.

pretty sure 07-08 lips whether it be base or a-spec will NOT fit 04-06 front bumper without heavy modification. I contemplated this a multitude of times with my '06 and that was the answer i got everytime.

I've read a few threads where it seems there is the ability to make the type S Aspec front end fit the 04-06 (ua6) bumper. But I have not seen anyone make the 07-08 base aspec lip fit the 04-06 bumper. Is this not possible? Seems strange the type s one fits but the base does not.
If it doesn't work, can someone tell me why?

The reason why the Type-S lip can work is because it doesn't really conform to any specific curve - it's pretty much the whole bottom half of the bumper. It just fits over the shape of the bumper, and the bumper shapes between each year are pretty similar.
Basically, you can cut the whole bottom half of the 04-06 bumper and place the Type-S lip over, and it would work.
However, the 07/08 base lip forms to the foglights/grill area of the 07/08 base bumper.
You can make it work, but you'll have to do some modifying.
