Hey buddy, I went to the 3G garage and could not locate it. Is it possible for you to be more specific?

Thanks

It was pretty easy for me to do, just watch the video on how to remove the bumper, the aspec installation was just done with the printed instructions.

Took me about 4 hours with the Gf's help.

Yes you do, but it is really not that bad. It doesn't have to be perfectly cut, there is plenty of wiggle room.

my question is, if you install your a spec kit on your tl already, and lets say you want to remove it to adjust it again like the rear lip, is it hard or is the same?

Being a brand new TL Gen 3 owner.....Does the front of the kit allow fog lights in the front of the kit? Are the stock lights best? Are certain after market fog kits fit or work better. Ya I know you can upgrade the OEM fog houseing bulbs to HID....but is it smarter to just get better after market kits.

if u use double sided tape yes. If you follow installation instructions, there i drilling holes involve, so positioning the Kit both on the front and the back correct the first time is key. There are markings on our Bumbpers that tells you where to drill.

The instructions talk about putting the car on a lift to do the install but I hear everyone on hear saying it is better to simply remove the bumpers? Removing the bumpers would be my preference, since I don't have a lift, and am comfortable taking them off. But are there any filament issues doing it that way since the bumper is not sitting on the car in the correct curvature?

This will help you- When the bumper is off, al you are going to do is bolt on, and prep the double sided tape by peeling a bit and folding over to the front. Once you mount the bumper/kit togther on to the car, then yuo remove the Double sided tape allowing you to curve it right.
