The lower grills are angled differently in the 07-08 type-s and base bumpers, therefore the two A-spec lips are not interchangeable.

If you want a type-s A-spec lip, you need a type-s bumper, and if you want a base A-spec lip, you need a base bumper. Otherwise, you will need to do some modification.

You need the grilles for the specific bumper.

Like paz840 say this bumpers are totally different you can't put the Base lip in type S bumper or type s lip on a base bumper and the lower grill where the fogs are situated if different angle too so you need to get the right parts for each one...
