Question About Bodykits (Planning on Getting one)

Hey y'all, how's it goin'?

I have a question particular to bodykits - At the roll of the spring, I'm planning on putting an S-Type Aspec bodykit on my non S-type 08 TL to complete the look. Question:

Will the S-type bodyparts FIT on a NON S-type TL? (I would look it up but unfortunately, I'm on my cell atm).

Thanks.

Some modifications will need to be done to get it to fit. The back will require you to cut up the bumper. Nothing that hasn't been done before so don't sweat it.

What about all the other parts? I can just get Type-S Aspec kits parts everywhere else and just get the normal Aspec for the rear right?

The Type-S front bumper will fit on the Base TL with no problems. I have this done on my car. The side skirts and rear lip are for the Base TL.

Did you get a deal on the parts? Shipping is crazy and my local dealers refuse to compete. 260 a section on Internet vs 345 etc

Hey black dude, most members with type s TL 's wish they could rock the base aspec kits
Curious why the other way around for you?

I honestly prefer the way it looks....and will look on my NBP 08 TL. I have nice rims and custom Quad headlights that already increase the aggressiveness of the car hence it'll look quite amazing and unique with the profile I'm tryna go for. The non-TypeS kit just doesn't cut it for me.

I dont like the Type-S A-spec, it covers half the bumper and it doesnt really flow with the rest of the car. The base kit is 10 times better looking.

I think it comes down to personal preference on whether you like the type s front or base. Its your car, if you like it go for it. Aspec kits all look great! I prefer the base but thats just me.

The type-s front looks like big ass frog eyes to me

IMO 04-06 aspec base front/side skirts with aspec type-s rear FTW
