2007 Acura TL Type S - A Spec conversion
Hey guys,
I just bought a 2007 Acura TL Type S and am already thinking about converting it into an A Spec, sort of making it a Type S A Spec. Would any of you guys know how to ? I'm completely new to the modification world but am very keen to get this going.
Also, could any of you highlight what I'll need and what the differences are between the type s and a spec ?
Thanks

1st - Welcome to the forum and gratz
2nd - Search function is your friend
3rd - There are vendors (i.e. AckTL05) here where you can acquire the whole kit (its cheaper that way) and the instructions can be found on this forum too. There is a link on close to the top righ hand corner "Vendor" if you are looking for modifications and such.
4th - The difference in them is that the A-Spec was purposely design for aerodynamics (it looks more aggressive)

Op since you are noob at modifying; I would suggest that a professional install it if you are picky on this. However, it is not that difficult to do and I am a noob when it comes to body work but I still install my kit. I got my instructions from the dealer and if you are willing, I say go for it.

got mine from Tim as well and couldn't be happier.
I had the stealership install mine for just shy of 300 bucks. I'm not into doing any sort of body work - too afraid that I will misalign something.
So if you have it installed somewhere, 300 would be the most you should pay.

Hopefully you don't have an ASM (silver) type s. I think most of those parts are now discontinued. Good luck! It is absolutely worth it, car looks so much better with the kit. My progress thread in the photography section has pictures, along with many others in that section. It's a great place to get ideas from.

I also just picked up a nbp tl-s and am looking to do the aspec kit as well to go with my aspec rims. I've searched for pictures and can't seem to find a nbp tl-s with aspec kit. Anyone have a picture of that exact combo? I like the aspec look alot on the silver tls because you can see the body lines so much better than the black

the easiest, but most expensive way to get the type-s aspec front, would be to change out to the type-s front bumper.
but then you would need all the grill pieces for the type-s bumper.
another option would be to go to a body shop to see if they could mold/fabricate the type-s aspec kit to the base bumper.
