Exclamation Question about rear base/with Aspec

Just got a ATLP v2 quad cat back and wondering what I can do to make it fit to my bumper. Would I have to buy a whole type s bumper or is there some kind of modification I can do. I have a 06 tl

U can either get a type s rear bumper or get the type s aspec lip and mount it on your base bumper but it takes some cutting of the base bumper to fit

just get the Type S rear bumper its much easier than trim and custom fit.

Thanks guys might do the type s bumper instead of just the lip, I'll probably trade my tl bumper with aspec lip for a type s bumper

the type s bumper will accomodate the quad tips. however if you have the aspec lip kit on the front and the sides...need to get the rear as well. not sure how it would look without the rear lip...though

Personally, I would just get the Type-S A-Spec lip.

In the end, it'll end up costing you way less, and not to mention they'll look EXACT same (Type-S rear bumper + type-s rear lip vs base bumper + type-s rear lip)
