So i am in the market for a 07 or 08 TL type s but i want to put the 04-06 aspec front lip side and rear lip as I just like this better. Can it be done does anyone have pics of a type s with the older kit?
Thanks

 

The rear won't fit the dual tips...the sides will go right on and the front I'm not sure if it mounts the same as type s aspec front...the marks on the bumper will probably be off...the fronts probably some custom drilling. I'm not saying this as a fact, I'm sure someone who has done it will chime in any minute now.

 

JPTL04 did it best. it requires some cutting to fit right, but it is possible.



the first thing i would do is buy a 07-08 type-s tho.

 

Ok hopefully he can chime in. I just dont like how the kit in the front of the type s kit massively gauds out the front bumper. I would maybe do typeS side and back with aspec front unless all can be modded aspec back?
Any more pics???

 

^that's pretty much the best pic of a 07-08 type-s with a base front. what else do you want to see?

i am in the same boat as you, i've got an 07 type-s and want the a-spec kit. instead of going through all the hassle of mixing and matching parts, i'm just going to get the type-s kit. a lot of people i've talked to say the type-s kit will grow on you, and in person, it looks good.

mixing n matching parts will end up costing you money, along with the added cost of modifying the front bumper. but in the end, do what you wanna do man.

 

the 04-06 lip would have to be modded to fit a 07-08 tl-s bumper cause the shape of the hole by the fogs is reversed....oh and like sharksbreath said...id work on getting a type s first

 

did he use the 04-06 aspec or the 07+ base aspec for this? i thought he used the 07+ which is different than the 04-06.

 

That, I believe, is the 07 lip. The 04-06 has an extra black piece on the inner part of the lip.

 

JP has the 07-08 lip. I don't recall anyone having the 04-06 front lip on their Type S. I know Princleybug has the 04-06 rear lip on his Type S.

 

I have the full type s kit and I love it...guess to each his own...I personally like the type s kit way better then the base kit. But its my car and its the way I love it....

Like the others said...I reallt think you need to get the car before thinking of what your gonna do! lol

 

lol SharksBreath, that's not an 04-06 lip (the lip specified by OP) on JPTL04's car.

 

Unlike most people I like to know the most about a car I am going to spend over 20k on. Even if it's a cosmetic issue such as the kit. The best info I got from the forum so far was about the tranny pressure switches. The type-s exhaust is it loud what's it sound like? I'm going to be test driving a bunch right after Xmas. Thanks for the help.

 

no the stock exhaust is not loud. if you like a quite ride then dont change it.

 

lol guitarplayer16, that's my bad. i guess i ignored the fact that the OP wanted to travel back in time and put an outdated aspec lip on his future 07-08 type-s.

 

check out dipset's TL (Oscar) he has a type-s front end with a 04-06 Aspec front lip. Yes, you will need to do custom cutting around the corners of the lip to make it fit.

hope this helps

 

Could a Type-S Aspec lip be cut like this:



(I hope 94lude doesn't mind me drawing lines on his beautiful pics)

I'm not sure what people don't like about the Type-S lip so much, but the part that goes over the lower grill is the stuff I don't like.

 

I was never a fan of the Aspec Type S Kit. The lip around the foglights look like bug-eye goldfish to me.

 

haha so you don't think this looks good, Steven?

 

I agree ^ that does not look good at all to me bloated fish!

 

 

^

 

lmao isnt that murphs TL? i like it, i was debating on doing the type-s aspec conversion on my 05.. but i decided to get the BASE lip instead because i feel like no one has it.. just something different from the ordinary

but man roger.. that picture made me laugh as im typing lmao

 

Nope-I won't put that on my Type S.....



^^^^ This!

 

hahahah omg how did u even think of that fish when seein the type s kit? lolll

 

This wasnt a to trash thread but to know if someone had a pic of the 04-06 aspec front lip on their 07-08 type s. It is what you like and I like the older lip. Pics of what im asking anyone?

 

no one has 04-06 lips on type S in here do u not understand? only way to work is to get an 07-08 base lip to make it work

 

its been six days, obviously no one has done it or the pictures dont exist. IF you truely were serious, you would have searched around a bit to see if it was done/doable.
If it has not been done, why dont you buy the parts and get it done?
you obviously have your mind made up and want to get it done, whats stopping you?

Does any one innovate any more?

 

Wow forums are usually here to bond as a community and make friends. Maybe even setup some meets. I have been alegend enthusiast since the 90's on those forums and must say only positive experiences there. Here in only a couple of weeks tons of negativity. To you sir you are annoying and not helpful maybe a spoiled little brat that his parents bought his first Acura for! If not just a bitter old man. Oh theres your age 23... Once again if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Thank you to the others that grow online enthusiast forums not ones that destroy them.
Ps.... All I asked for was a picture not something crazy or out of the ordinary so here you go!

 

^sorry.. didnt mean to hijack thread... but back to topic - the rear 04-06 lip wont fit unless you change the exhaust (get smaller ones) and the front would need modification as well. (havnt seen anyone do it?) you can be the first? good luck with it

is this the car u were making this thread for? did u ever figure out what it was?

 

Yes that's what got me hooked but what concerned that the miles might have been bogus also. I will most likely try and trade or just buy the front lip of the older aspec kit. Then hook up a older front bumper if I cannot modify it. I'm going to check out 10tls in 2 weeks. That older front lip is just streamlined sexy!

 

Master Legend, sorry if I came across harsh.
I'm just saying, if you arent getting the responses you desire, go out and make it happen.

this car has been in production since '04 and stopped in '08. There's plenty of information on this forum, available to you. just need to dig around for it.
be innovative and creative. and of course when you do get it done, post up a DIY for others.

 

I hear ya kid thank you for being positive that's what it's all about. I am going to try different routes but if someone did it around my way I'd rather meet up tell them to come over and make a friend while working on the cars. From the legend forums I made dozens of friends. Be well.
