Hi, im new to acurazine, and i have a 2004 acura tl that i got last year..i was wondering where i can get the type-s rear for my car and how to install.

Thanks

 

You can either buy the type S rear bumper or you can cut yours and throw on the rear type S aspec

Do you want the type S rear or type S aspec rear?

 

i too was wondering the same. I have an 08 tl base. I want the aspec type s rear and front. for me to do that what do i need?

 

the type-s and the a-spec are two different looking rear ends, but i wanted to put ATLP quad exhaust on it later, so im saying the type-s rear because i dont think there is a type-s a-spec rear?

 

wrong, there is a type S aspec rear

There is base rear, base Aspec rear, type S rear and type S Aspec rear

The base and type S bumpers are different and thus each have their own different Aspec piece that you can add on

Hope that makes sense, I know it can be confusing at first

 

You need to buy a type S front bumper and type S rear bumper and then buy the type S Aspec kit.

Some people have also cut the rear base bumpers to fit the type S aspec rear as a cheaper alternative

 

What color is your TL? I've got a rear aspec lip for sale. Let me know.

 

This is very true. If you go the route of buying the front and rear bumpers and having them painted right (color match can be a PITA dependant on the color you have) it is going to cost alot. I paid almost $1000 for my rear type-s bumper with buying it, having it painted, and installed. If you just buy the aspec trim piece I think it even comes painted for $200 or less. I dont know about the front bumper, but I am sure the trim piece will save you a ton of money.

 

so what you guys are saying i have to buy the rear and front type-s and then buy the a-spec for it and that should do?

 

For the rear, you should just get the A SPEC type-s body kit and cut your base rear bumper to fit it in. Front bumper you must fully buy a Type-S bumper, get it painted (If it doesn't already come pre-painted), and that should do it.

 

I am pretty sure they come unpainted like the rear bumper. The pain other than color match ( I have NBP so it was easy ) is finish quailty. Most shops will not paint a car to a factory finsh unless INS is paying or you pay a ton.

I paid almost $500 just to paint the rear bumper and you can see the orange peel is worse than factory paint. Macco paint said $55.
