I'm from ontario canada and just purchased a 06 TL and the color carbon bronze pearl and i want to buy a spec kit but i cant seem to find one for 06 CBP as im assuming the states dont carry cbp in 06.. so is my only option ordering one then having it painted to cbp? if so where can i order an un painted one? tried google.. didnt have much luck..

 

Your car probably isn't really CBP. CBP is an 07-08 only color.

Your car is probably Anthracite Metallic...I think thats the only color you may have confused it with.

 

OP, check the paint code on your car...that'll identify the color.

 

I remember reading somewhere on here that a member had an 06 from Canada that was also CBP and that color was offered in Canada in starting in 2006. Here in the states CBP paint code is YR562P. Im guessing it would be the same in Canada. The color is discontinued now and CBP A-Spec parts seem to be few and far between. I was able to get the type s front and rear lips from vendors here, but couldn't find side skirts. I could be wrong but im not sure you can get an A-Spec kit just primed. If you cant, make sure and get one in a dark color because the rubber gasket around the front and rear parts will be black on a darker color vs. light grey with a color like WDP.

 

I remember that thread as well that Canadian models had CBP in 06. He even took pictures as well.

 

Don't think you can order an unpainted A-Spec kits. They all come painted.. I could be wrong though. AckTL05 sells the A-Spec kit, so PM him for more info.

 

I too remember that conversation and the canadian gentleman did have an 06' CBP

 

Paint code is "yr562p" and would I have to sand it down before re painting it?

 

No, I doubt it would have to taken all the way down to the plastic, just roughed a lil, but I am not a paint guy so im not 100% on that. I'd have it painted at a body shop so they can color match it and prep it properly and give it a nice clean paint job. There is people with discontinued colors who have had to do it and have posted threads about it.
