the A-spec is actually a lip that goes onto your current bumper. Basically, yes, it will fit. I believe the Vendor ACKTL05 or something sells them at good prices. Check the vendor section.

i would get the entire kit if i were you. will the front lip look weird or out of place w/out the sides and rear? yes...yes it will. get the whole kit, trust me.

04-06 folks usually do the "accord fog light mod"...do a search and you'll find PLENTY of threads on this.

the 07-08 aspec front lip does not come with fog lights, nor will it fit on your 04-06 bumper. you'd need a 07-08 bumper to get the 07-08 aspec lip. they make different kits for a reason...

*04-06 base aspec kit
*07-08 base asepc kit
*07-08 type-s aspec kit

Yup. I started back when with just the front, then the rear and then the sides. It looks so much better with the whole kit instead of just the front, but don't get me wrong, the front changes the look the most.

If you are located close to NJ, I install the accord fog lights onto the base models. I also can get just the front or anything OEM needed. Here is a picture:

I was only going to pick up the rear under-spoiler at first, and the more I cruised Azine, the more I realized I needed to get the entire kit to complete the look. + if you decide later that you want to add pieces, it will end up costing you more than if you take advantage of Ack's GB

The HID conversion isn't a must but in my opinion it looks cleaner if the fogs are HID. Getting a whole new bumper might be more expensive. Especially if you plan on getting it installed somewhere. The thing about working on your car is that you don't do it all at once. Get a few things done here and there and after a while you got yourself a pretty sweet looking ride.
