TL A-Spec rear lip help
TL A-Spec rear lip help
Hi everyone,
This is my first post so my apologies for any formatting issues or the like.
Long story short, I was recently rear-ended in my 2005 TL A-Spec, and my bumper and rear-lip were beaten up pretty badly.
I got the car back today - the collision repair place replaced the rear bumper and gave the entire back a nice repaint, however, they weren't able to find a new rear lip anywhere to purchase as it was discontinued a while ago by Acura.
The car now looks really weird without it, as the front and sides still have the A-Spec skirts attached. I have the rear lip, however it is pretty chipped and banged up from the crash. (I have called some fiberglass boat repair places to see if they would consider fixing it up, but most won't touch car parts with a 10 foot pole. Also, I don't know if they'd have the right paint to match it to the rest of the car.)
I would like to attach something to the back, as it feels like something is missing without it. Does anyone know of any universal kits, splitters, diffusers, etc. that would look ok on a A Spec? I'm open to any options (I'm still going to look into getting the original one fixed, but that's looking pretty unlikely to happen.) I've looked into just fixing it up myself, but I'd rather not take on a project like this.
Thank you!

You can find used ones on facebook/ebay that should be prepainted to match the car. OR buy one for a TL-S and use it as an excuse to get a better exhaust! THe 2004-2006 one was discontinued to my knowledge.
