solo aspec rear lip

Ive searched around and couldnt find anything. Im thinking about purchasing the aspec rear lip for my tl type s and not the front. Give me feedback on whether or not getting the rear lip and keeping my stock front bumper will look good.

Thanks

sorry forgot to ask for pics if anyone had any of their type s with the stock front lip and the aspec rear lip.

I gotta see a visual to help me decide if i should just get the rear by itself, i have a feeling itll look a little wierd idk tho.

I dont have any pics unfortunatly, but I'm saying do the TL-S A-Spec in the rear and the TL-Base A-Spec in the front. I like the front base a-spec more than the front TL-S a-spec.

Base Aspec on type-s requires a handy shop for modification since it is not a direct fit.

I have Base 07 wiht theo following combo, Front base, Rear Types.
Right now i am in the market for a type-s front.I thinkg the base 07-08 is too subtle.

This is the rear


Front ( cant even tell i have it)

type s aspec FTW might as well get the whole kit tho it looks weird w/o all the pieces front, sides , and rear you wont be dissapointed the type s ASPEC in my opinion catches the eye more the front just looks so aggressive i gotta say out of all the parts to the kit i like the front the most

I agree.. just get the entire kit dude.. it'll look much better, you wont regret. I was sort've in the same boat as you back then. In my case i was thinking a spec everything except the side skirts. But after seeing my car couple times.. i just had to get the skirts to complete the flow of the underbody

Type-s front is so aggressive. I used to think it was ugly, but after actually seeing it in person...I was in love.

I got mine through TIM @ hondacuraworld ( im sure many others here as well). Awesome guy. Dont be like me and buy parts one at a time because its cheaper if you just buy the whole kit at once.

Type-s Exhaust from another memeber for about $400 i belive.

Type-s rear is not a direct fit per say. You have to cut out the exhaust on part on your bumper wide enought to acomodate the type-s lip and exhaust. Once thats done, the exhuast itself its a direct mount.

A lot of DYI here on how to fit type-s on base..
