all you need is the front bumper and the lip, lip comes pre-painted but NOT the bumper
chrome grill you can reuse... fogs you can reuse...

oh and you need base lower grills

if I were you I'd attack it the way jptl04 did it

Yep all you need is:

07-08 Base Bumper
07-08 Base Lower Fog Grille Trims
07-08 Base Lip

FYI: The lower fog trims will not match your upper chrome grille color though. The accent strip is satin silver on the 07-08 Base, the TL-S is the black/darker chrome. Maybe you can swap the accent strips, or something, they are removable.
