Help: Compatibility

Are 2008 base model TL bumpers compatible with my 2006 base model TL?

Any help is appreciated!!

All 3rd gen bumpers can be used for each model year. The TL body doesn't get wider, smaller or longer. A few key notes:

- 07/08 have lower foglights
- 07/08 have different grills and grill trim
- 07/08 base and Type-S A-spec kits are different from each other also different from 04-06 A-spec kits.

If you get a bumper cover you will still need the following
-Fog light housings
-Fog light harness
-Bumper Grill trim
-Grill
-Hood grill trim
-Lower grill vents (Except if you get the A-spec kit you won't need these)
-Acura center grill trim.
-Bumper might need painting depending if you get one used or new
-A-spec OEM kit comes painted.

Heres my 06 base model TL with an 07/08 a-spec lip.. Theres placement for my foglights on my lipkit, however it doesn't correspond to my bumper / fit correctly. I'm just trying to install my oem TL foglights but my bumper doesn't allow it.. How would i make this work?

I still need some help!

Installed Type S a spec bumper, you'll need Type S fog lights :)

FYI there is no difference in the fog lights of the 07-08 base and type-s.

OP as you stated, it doesn't correspond to your base bumper; so your options are to either modify it i.e. cut an opening so the fogs will fit or buy a 07-08 bumper.

I already have the 07-08 fogs but it won't fit because of my bumper :(
