Rear bumper cut for A-spec Type S??

Yes, you'll need to cut the rear bumper to install the aspec rear lip.

Go to estore.honda.com for instructions to install, look for TL rear under spoiler (Type-S)

nice work nonetheless, but yeah just did the rear and didn't have any cutting to do. the gray plastic surrounding exhaust tips comes off by hand.

thanks anyways
