I am installing the rear a-spec kit on a 08 TL-S.

The instructions are saying to cut out around the exhaust tip area on the bumper, but the picture in the guide looks like a base rear bumper (the guide says 2007 TL Type S).

Do i need to cut?

Any help is greatly appreciated... Already have the bumper off and I am trying to finish this up.

Thanks.

did you put the lip up against the bumper? Does it need to be cut or not?

 

i have a 08 type S....no need to cut anything!!!

 

Thanks... fitted it against the bumper... looks a like a clean fit... about to wrap this up.

Thanks again for the input.

This forum is the $hit.

haha yea no cutting on a tls bumper needed just if you are going from standard to type s then you gota cut

 

A-spec kit done... on to the drop... = )

 

^^werd...me too

 

Pics or didn't happened.

 

do u have a photo for the front lip too? ive been looking for this

 

Just for the record, going from standard to aspec is a no-cut too... in case anyone cared.

 

^ if you have a standard rear end and your going to a type s aspec kit then yes you need to cut that is what my comment was aimed for

 

^I put an A-Spec kit on my standard with no cutting. It's not a Type-S A-Spec kit (didn't knwo they made a seperate kit).. why would one use the Type-S on a non type-S unless they also used the Type-S exhaust tips... which I didn't.

 

 

Here's a clearer pic of the front lip....

 

Looking good !

 

looks good man!

 

i actually meant a photo of the instructions for the front lip installation haha but its very nice still you got me super hyped to put mine on.

 

i, too, have a 07 black tl-s....i really want this aspec front lip...x.X

 

sweet looks clean good install job!

 

So you don't have to cut an 05 base bumper to fit an aspec rear lip?

 

only if you're a base looking to put on a TYPE-S A-spec lip

 

rear:
base --> base = no cut
base --> type s = cut

 

^ This. And if you want the rear Type S A-Spec on your Base, don't be afraid of the cutting it really isn't a big deal.

 

Thanks for clearing that up guys. I'll be happy when the rear lip gets done and I can appreciate my new look. Last part of the install.
