I don't think that 08 had power folding mirrors. Did you install these power folding mirrors already and were they off ebay?
Oh and a-spec kit contact vendors from here. There are group buys all the time on stuff like that. And I am sure you can get bumpers too from them.

Y not trade up for a type s? save the money you would spend on ASpec body kit, sidemarkers, tail lights, suspension, power folding mirrors, fog lights + hids, quad exhaust will be about 3 or 4K, not including price of installation. all this would be a good down payment and trade value wont be so bad. besides, to do a FULL type-s conversion, you'll need the engine,steering wheel, the whole interior will need upgrading, you'll need type-s rims, even the type -s front bumper is a bit different.
Aspec lip kit is around $800 alone, installation i s easy to do, but thru dealer, it's like 200 per piece. suspension I'm not sure about( I would probably go with an aftermarket like Tien, or H&R suspension which is much better), I would say 1000-1300 for suspension, not including installation. I think type-s rims are like $300 brand new/per wheel.

yes... can you take a pic of the mirrors at least.. and take measurements if you dont want to install? Lots of people are waiting to see these work.. I want to see if they will actually fit correctly.. Can you take measurement of the base of the mirror(the part that connects to the car) and also a pic of the plug on the mirror and the switch that it comes with!
Thanks!
Thanks!

In terms of suspension dynamics, upgrade to the front and rear stabilizer bars from the TL-S. They're bigger (thicker) and solid - compared to the hollow bars in the base TLs. You'll notice a significant difference that will make it, at least, feel more like a Type-S. Nothing you can do about the displacement or power output, unless you swap motors of course...
