The Official "Does This Fit My Car?" Thread
just wondering if anyone can answer these questions for me...
i'm trying to get an idea of what steps need to be taken to do a 07-08 type S aspec front and rear conversion on a base 05 TL. i've seen that some people cut the stock bumper and just add the aspec lip on there. i actually need to repaint the bumper i have right now, so i was considering just buying a prepainted type S bumper instead of paying to get my current bumper repainted.
- do the type s bumpers fit on the 05 tl with no problem? or do i have to do body mods in order to make it fit?
- for the front bumper... would the headlights have to be changed to the 07-08 headlights, too?
- my tl is an ssm... would the colors even match correctly? i know the 07-08 have a different kind of silver from the 04-06.
any other things i should be looking out for when doing a conversion? please let me know! thanks.

since the grille is the only difference, would an 07-08 BASE aspec lip fit on an 05 with no problem? i've been debating and i think i'm liking the base aspec lip better than the type s aspec.

let me start with the foglights first
if you want 07 BASE you will need 07 Base bumper... if you were thinking 07 S lip you're good to go, and you can still use the accord fogs
for the rear lip, I thing the lexus tips may fit in the opening... you will have to look up the DIY on how to get the S rear lip on... dremel is a must

that is a link for the Audio, Bluetooth, Electronics & Navigation section
aside from the navigation drive dvd and screen, you will need the steering wheel, microphone gps antenna and all the wiring

Take it from me and my newly uploaded pics...my new lip lasted less than 24hrs. Now Im struggling with wheather I should get bags for the car or some upgrades. I currently have tein basics. My bad totally

Spacers

Flush enough
225/35-19 Front or 225/40-19 Front
235/35-19 Rear or 245/35-19 Rear
If given the stretched... With the semi stretch tire sizes... Fitment will be pretty flush...
Figure it'll add 2" to the bottom of the fwd overhang

with 235/40-18 
with 245/40-18
(not immediately at least), may require fender rolling to avoid rubbing when people sit in the back and on dips, or you could dial in a tiny bit of negative camber

What size tires do I need for a set of A spec 18 wheels?
Right now the tires are 235 40 18 but are worn out so I have to purchase a new set. I'm not exactly sure what size tires I should put on them without having any problems. Please let me know. Thanks

19x9 +35 requires 245/35-19 tires.. if you are dropped more than 1.5" 235/34-19
19x10 +38 requires a 245/35-19 tire if you are dropped more than 1.5" if not 255/35-19 can rock

those are your choices if you need tire prices hit me up I will throw some prices at you from online retailers
they fill all aroundno need to bump I get to the questions as fast as I can... if you look at this lengthy thread you will realize I respond to everything
Thanks. will the 245s stretch alot? ive also read that the falkens are wide for their size, hopefully itll be good. and no fender mods needed with a 9.5 width?
will i have to worry if i get the tein h tech (1.2 in drop) drop later on?
