A-Spec Front Lip Question

Quick question.. I am wondering if there is a difference between 2004 A-Spec front lips and a 2008 base A-spec front lip..

I had my front lip ordered from an auto body shop here, and when I went to look at the lip to make sure I got the right one, it didn't seem right.. From my understanding, the A-Spec front lip has a "two-tone" paint job (standard pearl paint, with a dark grey flat on the bottom/middle). The lip that came in is a solid NBP.. I just want to make sure I ordered the correct part.

Quick responses appreciated as I need to let the auto body shop know today. Thanks all!

They are two different designs. Make sure you get the correct one.

Any idea on the correct part number I'd need to get the two-tone one?

That's where my concern lies... the part number that I was given is 08F01-SEP240A

I just want to make sure I'm getting the correct part

You can't get a two tone :gheylaugh:

Unless you modify the lip...

Thanks for the update guys! Just wanted to make sure that I was getting the right part.

Hoping this lip looks good! Figured the car was in the shop to get a new front bumper, why not pick up an A-Spec lip in the process right?

I'm hoping! Are the rear A-Spec lips the same size for 04-08 bases? I'll be looking to pick one of these up this summer once I get a better exhaust setup

The 04-08 base rear A-Spec is the same =)

If I were to do it again, I would get a Type-S rear A-Spec lip and weld on some quad tips or find a Type-S exhaust.

That's actually what I was thinking about doing. The quad exhaust looks awesome on our cars, and I'm sure I can find a Type-S exhaust for a good price
