'O7 Type S bumper upgrade

Is it hard to upgrade from a 2006 Tl bumper to a 2007 Type S bumper. Both front and back.

Thanks
Rob

No, it is not hard to replace the front and rear bumpers to Type-S bumpers. You will need a new front grill, fog light, and fog light grills since the 04-06 models do not come with lower fog lights. This topic has been discussed a million and one times. Please search before posting.

Im new on here, so forgive me for this question. Has anyone been able to fit a 07-08 Aspec Front Lip Spoiler onto an 04 bumper? If so is there a link that shows how to here?

There is 2 different 07-08 A-Spec front lips, the Base and TL-S. Which one?

This has been beaten to death, so people will say search. You can find out in a matter of minutes using the search feature.

Nope 07-08 A-Spec Base lip will not bolt on and fit to a 04-06 bumper, without body work to the lip. You would need to convert the whole nose end, bumper, lip, upper/lower grilles, emblem, fogs/wiring.

Also, depending on what 04-06 color you have, some 07-08 parts are not available in 04-06 colors. The lips come painted, bumpers do not.

Thanks. I've searched this whole site and I must be missing something. I swear I saw at one time someone on here had a thread where he modified the 07-08 Base Aspec lip to fit. Guess I just want to know how he did it. (WDP is mine)
