Does anyone have, or has anyone seen a TL with just the front A-Spec lip? A friend of mine works in an Acura bodyshop and said he has an extra lying around. I just thought it might look odd without the rest of the kit. I'm about to have a Type-S bumper installed on the rear if that makes any difference.

What do you think?

 

i personally think it will look odd without the rest of the kit, just my 2 cents

 

it will still look better than the stock bumber, if its cheap i say do eet! xD

 

I'm curious about this as well, besides the fog lights (which many regular TL's have) there's really nothing to distinguish the S-Type from the stock TL in the front.

I'm still looking for more pics now, but here are a few basic ones for comparison:

 

The bottom one is a TSX

 

Its fine, just leave the mudguards on for the time being so it'll look better. Also rather than get a Type-S bumper, why not get the Type-S Rear aspec kit, do the cutting and put it on your factory bumper! No painting required and as well it's a whole lot cheaper!

 

I have this setup. Not a fan of the rear skirt.

 

Well I got backed into in a parking lot, so my stock bumper is trash now. Figured I'd upgrade to the Type S bumper since it's getting replaced anyway. I might look into that Type S rear kit down the road.

 

Thanks for the pics ttribe! I think I might give this a whirl. Like Thug said, it looks better than the stock bumper!

 

get the base 07 bumper ... the front lip looks better

 

Mine, just front for now, all that came with it.

 

When I first got the car I bought just the front lip. Later on down the road I bought the rear and now I'm looking for the side skirts.

 

Anyone know where this front lip can be ordered online? Looking for part numbers right now as well..

 

why not order it from the of the vendors on here...you can get a better deal plus support acurazine vendors

 

It looks fine. Doesn't look weird at all.

 

+1.

 

+2

 

-1

 

-2

all aspec or non, looks half finished, and it just doesnt flow. IMO, aspec lip all round looks better then base any day

 

It's fine, go for it if it's a great deal.

 

Unless I misunderstood him, it's going to be free, so I think I'll try it. How do those mount to the bumper?

^ Thanks! Looks like no real permanent change to the stock bumper. Sounds like a no-brainer. I'm gonna try it.

 

thats how i have mines, aspec lip in the front with accord fogs and type s rear bumper and it doesnt look bad at all. btw the ones that posted their tl pics definitely need to drop or slam your cars.

 

Huh? I'm on the A-Spec suspension.

 

It doesnt look half-bad with only the front lip. Since it sounds like a cheap acquisition, go for it. It's completely reversible if you don't like it.

 

You going to pay for it?

 

Does not look bad at all!!

 

Lol that'll be nice on my part, just do I what I did. I worked my ass off for like two months straight, 67 hr a week smh. By the look of your mod list, I think you could afford some coilovers.

 

Coilovers are in my certainly on my 'Future-Mod' list don't get me wrong (who doesn't have suspension on that list), but my intake, shortshift, and A-Spec came with the car. I spent $100 on my ETD and little less than 18" Aspec money on my G37's.

Is a drop suggested for my car? Absolutely, would look way better.

Is a drop Needed? No.

I do wish I had the rest of the kit though. If I can sell more Subie parts (the only source of TL part $$$), I will make that next.

*OMG Acurazine was down trying to post this. I... didn't know what to do!
