Base TL front lip on Type-S Front Bumper?

Well i have an 07 Type-s and i was wondering if i could fit a base 07 TL Front Lip on it. I'm not too into the Type-S Lip for the car! I think it looks too Bulky! Please let me know it this has been done before! Thanks!

Yeah, but do you have to cut the base lip to fit the TL-s? Because aren't the fogs are different?

thats nice!!!!!!

to get it to fit like this you need to cut and recreate that angled edge with some polyurethane resin. i would only trust an experienced body shop to do this. good luck

Hmm ill have to keep that in mind. I was trying to figure out how it was trimmed, yet still wrapped around the corners but that explains it. Wonder how trimming up the type-s lip would work...

I'm with you guys too. I'm not a fan of the Aspec bug-eye lip either.

That is the way to go for sure. Gerzand and I were discussing this the other night. Even though you have to mod it the base lip looks wayyyyyyyy better than the Type-S A-Spec lip.

I battled in my mind when thinking about buying the Type S A-Spec to fit it on my Base but kept thinking it would look to busy specially when I was just getting the front since I have mudguards.. I got to clean my car to take pics with this base lip on.. Couple of buddies installed it on Monday..

I used to agree that the base was better and even thought about doing a base front.I
can honestly now say I love the type-s kit. The base is kinda plain while the type-s stand's out. It takes time to get used to (so did the rim's and red lighting IMO)but now I can't picture my car without it or with a base A-spec
