you will need the type-s front bumper in order to install the type-s aspec kit.
UNLESS, you take it to a body shop for them to modify.

side skirts are 2 pieces per side, so 4 peices total. short and long section for each side of the car. they slide into one another.

any good paint shop will be able to match the color code. you should expect to pay around $500 for both the front/rear bumper paint job.

just wait until the front bumper gets to you, and take them both in at the same time.

it'll fit. put the rear bumper in your front passenger seat (recline the passenger seat a little bit) and wrap it around to the backseat.

you can put the front bumper in the same way. just stack them with some cardboard in between.

Lol ok so getting quotes on how much it owuld cost but to install bumpers I don't think I got any screws or clips would the shop be able to get som and install them and be simple installaton, or is it complicated? I got some clips and looks like screws but I'm guessing that's for body kit.

nope no screws. you just reuse the push pins/screws that are already on your car.

and for the aspec lips, you just the little fastners and stuff that came with them.

it'll all become obvious once they are installing everything.

04-06 TL have fogs in headlight bezels, 07-08 have fogs in lower grille. Most people on here custom mount accord fogs lights into there front bumper, from what I've read

I still think you can configure accord fogs into 07-08 bumper, since it'd be alot cheaper than OEM TL fog setup. And I'm sure any HID kit can be wired up, if you know what your doing.
