Acura TL carbon fiber lip ???

hey guys i was wondering i have seen this picture of this WDP and a blue TL with a front carbon fiber lip. I dont know if there is any of these threads but most of them dont give any info on which lip it is and i was wondering if the Subaru Sti V-Lip would fit on my 2005 acura tl ? or if there is any "carbon fiber'' lip that would and dont mention the aspec lip because I already have that

The only carbon fiber lip for the TL that I've seen is the carbon fiber CSL rear lip spoiler. I haven't seen a front lip though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong......

^yes, there were custom front lip/Splitters made.

pay attention to the word custom.
probably cant find them being sold or made.

ive seen people do the home depot garage gutter lip.
and ive seen people put the sti lip on.

I've seen the STI lip on a TL before.

It was not a direct fit though and the person who had it had it modified by a body shop to fit.

Sadly there are no direct fit after market solutions for this, it has to be a custom job if you desire this.

search for KB1Spec in this forum. He made a carbon fiber add on lip for the ASPEC kit (for the front). there should be pictures posted as well.

the front carbon fiber lip youre talking about is indeed the sti (2006 i believe) v-lip, and the sides are from a mazda forgot what year/model.
i did some research on these and was about to jump on it, but i figured it was a big waste of money (they cost alot).

as some have said, it might involve a little work getting it to fit perfectly.

If you could get that modified to work, I think it would look great. That's the look I would be going for.

Agree with Justin....

everything will fit, even a TSX bumper on the TL....but it will need custom work....

if you are handy with doing custom work or you know a shop that does good work then go for it.....or let it be and dont ruin the car

Definitely let us know Stormtrooper. If it works out, I'm going to have to start the process of convincing my better half to let me do it

StormTrooperTL508- did you ever order the STI V lip for your TL? If so what modification did you do to make it fit all the way around?

Thanks in advance

Get replicas. <$500. Done.
Front needs work to make it fit nicely anyway.
