Question Side under body spoiler?

Hi all,
I recently got an 04 TL and had the front under body spoiler added as I like the more agressive look. I'd like to finish the kit off and get the rear and the sides but I can't work out if the car has already got the sides on or not. I've had a quick search around and found it hard to tell for sure or not. The differences seem to be pretty subtle. Can anyone tell me from this photo? Apologies for the very dirty car!! It will be washed at the weekend!
Cheers,
Andy

no. they won't fit with mudguards, and plus the look isn't the aggressive aspec look.

Ok great. That's the conclusion I'd come to but just wanted to double check. This is my first Acura!
Thanks!

the Aspec is flaring out on the bottom portion of the side skirt, its almost like 90 dgrees flare outward. The next side skirt comming real close look a like Apsec is Type S side and you can keep the mud guard.

Check the difference. I wondered the same thing. You can probably get away without the aspec side skirts.

You should Aspec all the way. Not doing the sides looks goofy.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I didn't get a notification about any of the other replies other than the first for some reason!

Thanks for the advice and photos everyone. I will get the skirts. I don't really care for the mud guards so that's not a problem.

I did ask my local dealer for a price for the rear and sides, including installation but they haven't got back to me yet. I've found other Acura dealers selling them cheaper than my local one but it would be great if they can match the price and also install them to save me the hassle.
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks again.

make sure they do good job, I had seen dealer install the rear lip kinda sag under the bumper line where it should be cover over.

Delray Acura's online parts is where I order all my OEM parts from. Shipping though may cost a bit though for such large pieces.
