Hey guys im new to the TL...i know most people are going to say i shouldve searched this but i am on my cell phone..but i was wondering if the front bumper from the 07 type s and rear tail lights and front head lights all fit on the 04 regular TL...i want to do some type of conversion...i know that the rear bumper i think dosent clear with the regulaur non-type s exhaust...i had a couple sport front wheel drive civics that i ran in nhra for sport compact..but i dont know ANYTHING about these TL'S!!...any info would be highly appreciated..

 

You could do it...

 

Everything can be done.

1. Headlights- can be swapped, but you need different turn signal bulbs due to size difference, and you need different ballasts, cause the type s ballast is smaller than 04-06 TLs ballasts

2. Front bumper is a straight up swap, and so is the rear bumper.
Only difference is you would need parts to go with it, like the lower mesh and the fog lights

3. Tail lights are a straight swap.

My car is a perfect example: 2005 with type s headlights, type s front bumper and lip, type s rear bumper with ATLP quad exhaust.

 

From this:







To this:





Notice the base bumper with lip is still on that last one...



Then the type s front bumper without fogs yet.....



Note you have to get the TL type s grill too



Finally with fogs



Then the HID kit for the lower fogs



Now for the rear:



To this:



Type s rear bumper with ATLP quad exhaust, final product, as my car is now



















That was a LONG post, USE THIS INFO RESOURCEFULLY

nice love the conversion mines will be next

 

I would whore out my pics every chance I got if my car looked that good

To the OP if you saw this car coming down the block, you would def. think it is a type S!

 

bfor...that car looks awesome man....what price range did that conversion run you?

 

he went the hard route

front and rear bumpers + paint $800
Front and rear aspec $500
Healights $500-750
fogs $300
atlp quads $1000

thats about it right brian?

 

front and rear bumpers + paint $800
Center grille and other pieces for it: Forgot but prob around 60
Front and rear aspec $500
Headlights: a LOT more cause of angel eyes and install lol, the headlights cost $800+~250
fogs: I got them from wanderer for a good price... i think it was like 250 or 300
The HID kit cost 250 and installation 75
atlp quads $1050
type s decklid: $100

But yea Al was pretty on point.

 

brian how did you change the side mark color from stock orange to white? Last time i heard, they were do+able but doesn't last long. How much were your rims? The aspec is only $500? Did they come painted?

 

I dremeled open the sidemarker at a certain spot and pulled the stock led out and mounted a strip on top. Closed it back up and siliconed it back together; seemed pretty stable as they have been running for at least 4 months.

I got the rims for a steal.. don't want to reveal price.

I got the aspec for 250 and 250; thewanderer has hookups for a cheaper price, PM him. They come painted.

 

very nice! i like the headlight a lot. is that what you call angel eyes? have to do some research about that.

 

where did you get all of your stuff? found on ebay or on here?

 

damn..an R8

 

damn brian, ur car is sick, do u need to get Tl type s headlight in order to Fit the bumper? and where did u get all the parts from?

 

Sorry for thread jack, but what about interior wise such as the tach/speedometer and what not. Direct swap?

I'm loving the red display....

 

Yep, angel eyes, halos, or CCFL's (cold cathode fluorescent lamp), all the same.

 

For all bumper parts, I recommend purchasing them at your Acura dealer closest to you since shipping rates have increased just as everything has in this damn economy. I got my front bumper from www.oemacuraparts.com as they have all discounted OEM parts but realized the shipping was insane, so you guys should just get them at your local dealer.

Headlights I got from www.oemacuraparts.com since shipping isnt that bad for headlights. I got one from there and the other one from ebay for $100 less.

Angel eyes were from ebay.

I basc use www.oemacuraparts.com, which is located in AZ
and www.acuraoemparts.com (delray acura), located in FL

 

No you do not, headlights are the same size.

 

hehe thx so much, mines gona be next ill post some pic soon

 

holy sh*t R8

 

brian, your NBP is a sexy BEAST! :jealous:
every time i see it i spend more money...after the ronjon meet i dropped another ~$600

 

appreciate all the help with this thread.. my WDP TL is getting converted...i got the type s wheels on already...ordered the type-s lights front bumper grill and fogs and all the above to make the front end type s....most likely going to do the rear in the future...thanks again for all the info and pics!!!

 

Is that 8000k hid bulbs on the fog lights?

 

Damn Brian, post those pictures enough times? Haha

 

bforbrian and me almost have identical cars hahaha

 

sup guy wht the diff between Alabaster Silver and Satin Silver Metallic ? r they the same color/look?

 

is it possible to use the 04 ballast...just hard wire them?...

 

Loving the changes! Except for the license plate. You should move it back to center.

 

BFORBRIAN!!

what kind of wheels do you have on your car??
i see that they are sevas wheels from your avatar, but i went to web site and they are not shown.

 

Will the front and rear Type S lips fit the 04 base bumper?

dnoTel: I think those are RonJon wheels... just based on the advert at the top of the page.

 

The rims in the pics are RonJon Inspyres.

The Sevas wheel I have in my sig are on my car now and have yet to take pics

 

For the front, no.
For the rear, people have cut out the exhaust cutouts to make a quad exhaust fit on their base bumper, then slapped a type s rear lip on top to cover the messy cuts.

HOWEVER, there are 2 members on this forum who have put a base 07-08 front lip on a type s front bumper. They managed to get it to fit.

 

one last question are they 18's or 19's

 

my cars in the shop right....waiting for parts!!!!

 

 

can u use the original type s muffler from the dealer instead of the atlp muffler
