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
