07-08 TL bodykit on 04-06 TL

Hey,
I am working on my 2006 Acura TL atm and its obviously a base model. So After reading thru a forum where the poster mentioned if I plan on upgrading exhausts or what not, I should go for 2007-08 Base TL A-Spec body kit. Which I did and now I am in dilemma on how to make it fit. I tried all possible ways but it seems like the lower two grills on each side (the ones with fog light on 07-08) is kinda smaller. The one on front lip appears to be bigger with a lil cuttout for fogs. So How can I make them fit? I know it take a lil modification but can somebody explain how can it be done?


Thanks
-Soni

First thing, use the search feature and spend some time reading. All this stuff has been beat to death. Tons of info is present on the 04-06, and 07-08 styles.

The 07-08 Base, 04-06 Base has the same rear lip, so it doesn't matter if you choose either one, they both only fit single tip OEM dual muffler tips. The 07-08 TL-S rear lip fits the OEM quad tip, and ATLP quad tip. That's were you seem to have made the mistake.

The front lip that you have will require re-shaping, and re-painting for a perfect finished product. IMO your better off going with a 04-06 lip (mating w/ your current 04-06 bumper), or swapping to a 07-08 bumper, and corresponding 07-08 parts.

Is it possible to change an 04 06 front bumper with a 07 08 fronts by getting the headlights and the grill?
