Can some one please tell me the difference on these kits





if you look at the 2, the first one is a different style then the one in the 2nd pic
I am looking to get the one in the first pic. If someone can help point out the details much thanks..

 

First pic is the A-spec lip for the type-S

Second pic is the A-spec lip for the 04-06 base

 

LOL
Well, to keep things simple, both pictures on both cars are A-Spec Body Kits. The top one, of Blackura's car, is the A-Spec kit for the TL-S (07-08), while the picture below it is the A-Spec Body Kit for the Base TL, for years 04-06. The newer end lip kits for revamped TL-P's, years 07-08, are a tad bit different for the sake of the lower fogs...i think...if not, they're the same for 04-08. Hope that helps

 

so the base model TL would fit the tl-s lip kit? or am I tripping?

 

Thanks guys on the info! sorry to say but the base model a spec kit looks fugly!

 

im sure its been posted before... but anyone know off hand a site that sells just the aspec lip for 07 type s ? really intrested in picking one up....

 

Nope. You need Type S bumpers to directly bolt on the Type S lip kit.

 

www.hondaacuraworld.com

They are a vendor here on this site. Or, you can buy it at any Acura stealership.

 

nope both kits are hot!!

 

Wrong!

A-Spec lip for 07-08 base is sexy.. can't wait to install mine! wuju..

There have been only a handful pics of A-Spec on 07-08 Base (i've searched) posted up of it installed but not as many as 04-06 installs.. hopefully mine will be on next week and I'll have some nice pics..

 

Where can I find a better pic of the A-spec kits for the 07-08 Type S? I tried Google Images but couldn't find anything good.

 

A-Spec Kit for 07-08 Type S

 

I just put the base kit on my 05 and it completely sets it off.

 

A-spec kit ftw

 

hey EL BAN, got one of a 04-06 a-spec? Ive always seen one in white, but they're small

edit: or is it SSM?

 

This is the only one I've seen up close..

All these pictures are being taken from www.curryacuraparts.com just want to make that clear.. don't want to get in trouble or anything lol..

 

07-08 base

 

See.. super sexy.. I believe it was you who I contacted when I had 50,000 questions about the BASE 07-08 lip..

thanks for your PM's and the pics and all your answers..

 

Yeah... Thanks... But after a year of this A-spec.. I will be moving towards the type-s front.......

 

I like the TYPE S front aspec a little better than the base one, but I think the base one is more cleaner looking overall.

 

Yea I feel the Type S aspec is alot more aggressive looking. Mine is being shipped out on monday!!

 

+1... Agree.. that is why i am chaning it up... the Base 04-06 is a bit more agressive than th 07-08 base.... i guess the grey garnish plus seems to flare out more......Now the Type-s.... sick.. and I should of gotten it from the beggining.... I am not sure what people always mean by cleaner....lol....Cleaner is starting o sound like Simple can be good....

 

It will suit your car well because you have the whole kit.. Together with the rims it will have that real aggressive look..

A-Spec Type S with full kit looks great. I picked the base since I am only getting the front lip since I got the mudguards.. PLUS if I wanted the lip I needed to get the bumper also.. or have to adapt it to my base bumper..

Since I never intended to get full kit I went ahead and got the painted mudguards with plans on getting the lip afterward.. have it already but will install during the week..

Post some pics with the new front

 

I will once i get it.. . I have couple of things on the works...some are yellow, some are hyper silver and some are light..... so the front will wait a bit..

 

Not to thread jack or go way off topic, but instead of starting a new post, I figure I'd add on here. Just got my a-spec kit in the mail. I put the sides on today before work, and when I was done I had these wierd/ugly gaps between the side skirts and the car. You can only see it when the doors are open. It's on both sides, but front and back. It does not go the entire length of the skirt, just at the ends. I'm pretty sure all clips were connected properly, so my question is...Does everyone have this gap or does it vary from kit to kit since it not factory installed?!

 

i got the same thing, driver side right? my passenger side is fine, but i have that same gap @ the same place on my driver side

 

No, I have it on all four corners...I know I installed it properly, I'm guessing it's b/c it wasn't factory installed, so therefor it won't match 100%...any one else have any ideas?

 

I just ordered my A spec Front kit! I should get it in later this week also with my 3000k HID. I'll take some before and after pictures. For you guys that installed the a spec kit yourself how difficult was the installment?

 

Just got my kit today. Put on the side skirts only so far. Will be doing the front Wednesday so i'll let you know. From what I've heard it fairly simple. Im not a mechanic nor have I ever done any mods myself on my car, but am going to do the kit..save a few hundred

 

Yeah I ordered mines from the stealership since my friends works at the parts department. He got me the kit for wholesale price, it came out to $345 shipped is that a good deal? or did i get ripped off? I asked him how much would it cost to install it he told me $504 I was like f**k that I'll do it my self lol...

 

My kit was $832.95 shipped...so yea you def got a steal with that price...kind of jealous now actually. Even if you got it installed by the stealership, you would be paying roughly the price I paid for just the kit

 

I too had a friend at Acura lookup what he could get me, and it wasn't any better then what Tim could. So I just don't see how you could get it for a 1/3 or 1/4 the cost...

If I'm wrong, great deal Bro. I'll buy a type-s kit at that price, and pay you 10% for the hookup if that is really the case.

 

I didn't get the whole kit for that price just the front lip.......

 

Local stealership asked 340 for it..

John at curryacuraparts had it at my door for 279..

 

This installation is so simple... Whether you deside to go with double sided tape or the full comple install includding drilling the holes into the bumpers. I did mine right on a NYC side walk...as for the skirts... should'nt have those gaps....the skirts are held up by clips, and screws on the inner lining.

 

Thanks jguerra...ill have to take them off and put them back on, making sure I get all the clips in properly...I just finished the front and back and yes it is very easy. take your time, double check before you drill and there should be no problems
