Hello everyone im thinking about doing a full type s conversion to my 04 tl that's including the aspec kit, i need some tips or idea to start. I already have the 08 rear tail lights & the new 08 power folding mirrors i have the fog lights with hid...and now in the process of getting the front & rear bumpers, i need prices for the aspec kit and suspension and used and new.....Help!!!

 

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.

 

To myron: I didn't install my mirrors yet i just collecting everything first then do everything at once.....the mirrors came out last month on ebay as soon i saw them i jumped on it....cause i was going get them powers anyway regardless....ill find the seller for and post for later.

 

To bayamon: i was going to upgrade to the type s but i love the color i have which is the pearl green, but Type s doesn't come pearl green so im just goin to do the conversion for now im in no rush i already have my wheels home and ready...im just taking my time, im about to the water pump & timing belt

 

DGP = Deep Green Pearl is the color my gf's mom has that color i love it.

 

someone posted a link to those from ebay but no one from this forum has ever tried them. type s doesn't have that option of power folding mirrors. But if these work when you install them then post some videos cuz I wan't to see this in action.

 

Yeah pearl green is one of most beautiful color the tl came with

 

NO problem byron will do..

 

Teeman, A lot of Aziners have been looking at these and have been questioning the fitment,if they actually fold, and the quality. Could you cheat and install these instead of doing all at one time?

 

You can buy my Type-S jpipe & cat in about 2 weeks if you are upgrading exhaust to Type-S.

 

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!

 

y not get the type-s and then paint it pearl green?

 

Ill think about it man, I took one of mirror out and Place it next to the mirror on the car and it matches pretty well, it looks good.

 

Teeman, A lot of people want to see this.
Can you post pictures of them?

Here is the thread.

Teeman where are pics of mirror

 

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...

 

Yea all of this stuff doesn't seem worth it to me and I think this is your best option right here^
