Do you mean "ASM" for color? You can check the BM on this forum, or ask our vendor here on this forum from hondaacuraworld.com.

Best price I've seen is "Open Road Acura of Wayne Parts" eBay store. They will take offers as low as $710 and shipping is $45.


Cut & paste "Open Road Acura of Wayne Parts" eBay 04-08 tl into google and their store will be the top link. Then you can browse all the parts for your car...

Open road is the "SHizzNItt"! Just purchased the ASPEC front $265.00 $25.00 shipping from their EBay store.. Came SUPER FAST well packed and if you have it installed by a dealer full warranty coverage for 1 yr... Cant beat it!!

Im an original DIY kinda guy The only thing I wont try to work on is the motor internal.... other then that if its got screws or bolts I'll try it. Check the garage section theres a TON of info on doing just about EVERYTHING on our cars... And most DIY's have PICTURES.... I bought my RRP just this past August and reading the threads has allowed me to do ALL my mods quickly with EXCELLENT results!!! BTW I also HATE the STEALERSHIP so its a no brainer for me.....

I only asked because you said if you got it installed by the dealer, you get full factory warranty. I'd definitely do it myself, but if installing it from the dealer is the only way to maintain the warranty, I'd pay it, as long as it's not crazy.

However you still have the full part warranty regardless... If the lip fails paint flakes off ect... acura will cover the defect... If you pay the dealer to install, then you have both part failure and install warranty for 1 yr.... Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong... sorry to have confused you

Yup, at that time I bought mine from Tim, but someone PMed me about going to John Eagle Acura (best Acura dealership) and asking for Johnny so I brought my friend (has a TL also) and they sold it for $600 including tax (8.25% Texas Tax)

eBay, store: "thespoilerstore". Only about a $100.

Hit me up if you're in Houston and you need a repair shop for any maintenance or any parts, I can usually get you a good deal besides custom items (or not known widely) like the J-pipes and PCD.

not OEM (OE), but with same quality material, same fitment + size at the third of the price with the same factory paint, but even better. (3 coats of paint, 2 coats of clear coat)

damn.. if that's the case. maybe I'll wait until I order some of JNC's headlights so I don't have to take off the front bumper twice if I can wait that long. I'm so impatient.

The front A-spec bumper trim for the 04-06 does not require front bumper removal. Not so sure about the UA7s, though...

I think it would be easier to take it off since the type-s lip is bigger

I took mine off when i installed it
