Im trying to make a 07-08 type-s front lip fit over my 06 bumper. From what i have read it wont fit perfectly on there and will have to do mods but im not sure what would i have to cut off is it just the fog lights area? and i have been looking for a DIY but have no luck at all can some one help me out please?

 

wont fit, u gotta buy 07 -08 bumper i just bought my 07-08 bumper off craigslist, reason y i wanted to do it was so i can fit the 07-08 type s lip kit on it

 

i did the same thing on my 2005 NBP. i purchased a type-s lip from a member here on AZ and i took it to my boys shop. i wish i was there to see the actual process. but from what he told me he did a placement test to see the areas that needed to be cut. honestly modifications need to be done to the bumper around the whole lower areas where the fog slots are.

if you really care about the bumpers lower part then i would think twice about it. but somebody like me that wanted to try it out and take the risk it was well worth it because i only spent money on the lip.

 

?? why do you have a type-s lip? just get a regular aspec lip and your good to go.

 

How did you find one on craigslist?? i been looking everywhere for one haha. was it the same color for your car??

i think im going to take the chance haha i mean if i buy a new bumper im going to have to buy the grill and paint the bumper which will prob by like 700 buck.
i hope its just the lower grill that i need to cutt off

i have the type s lip cuz i like how it looks lol i already have the 04-06 aspec all around
here is what i bought last month i already installed everything but the front lip

 

looks good. hope you get everything squared out. PICS when done! i have an 06 too, but i havent even thought of getting anything for exterior yet.

 

it's been done before...pm stillhere153

 

alright I will post up pics for sure I might try to do a DIY

okay I will thanks and are you saying there's a DIY out there?

 

no DIY, but I think he has helped someone do this mod

 

im actually doing the oposite because i want and a spec kit on my 07 Type-s. i dont really like the type s lip how it surrounds the bumper grills

 

^ so your doing the base a-spec lip for 07-08?
and im starting to not like it either lol but i already bought it so im going to do it anyways

 

im looking for a rear type-s lip in nbp. i currently have a aspec rear.. i need that to match the front type-s on my 2005

 

^ oh yeah i have the the type s rear already on and all i need to do is install the front haha

 

Finally got the front type s lip on my 06 base
turned out pretty good but my projector fog lights did not work out so well i wouldnt find a way mount them on the bumper....any ideas???
so i just left the chrome piece in there... and i prob going to buy the depo foglights

Here some pictuers

 

Looks good, did you have to chop up the front bumper?

 

Congrats on making it fit!

 

Yes.... there was no way to do it without some cutting....

Thanks

 

Not bad at all.

congratulations man!!!! I always wanted to do something like this but because i like the black chrome grille so much, I decided to just buy the 07 front bumper instead of modifying my 04 bumper... overall, good job!!!

 

it looks good.. i have an 06 and thought the same but im not that big with the type s conversion...but i like it

 

yeah most people dont like how it covers most of the bumper

oh and Thanks guys for the comments!!!

 

nice going

 

Any pics of where to cut it? I was thinking of doing the same mod. thanks. If you went with a 07 front bumper do you have to get a different center grill or can you reuse your 05' center grill.

 

can u post so picts of ur car from different angles???

 

here is the piece i cut off. I did the same with the right side also



AND yes you would have to get a new grill if you get the 07 bumper. The 07-08 grill is wider then the 04-06 or the other way around... haha

whyyyy sureee!!!!

 

beautiful!!

 

Haha Thanks!

 

did u do the rear yet? i pretty much cut the part where the exhaust outlets stick out, all the way to the other side to fit type-s rear on my 05

 

^ yes sir i already did the rear and sides

 

I want to put 05 front lip on my Type S. Your bumper looks good.

 

wow. so awesome looking. This is a big help for people who would like to do the same thing. I'm considering getting this as well. How did you spend on this setup? How much are the oem foglights? If you were to do it the right way and swap out the bumper to a 07-08 how much would the grill cost? I think this front bumper setup with a type s rear lip is hopefully my future setup.

In this picture is there a gap? or does it sit flush and line up perfectly within the shape of the wheelwell?

 

What suspension do you have on the car? Perfect stance!

 

omg that looks hella sexy

 

well i bought the whole 07-08 type s lip for 8 or 900 i cant member lol and if you want to buy the 07-08 bumper this is what the dealer told me

07-08 Front Bumper(not painted)=292.65
07-08 fog lights LH & RH=554.94
07-08 Fog light Housing LH&RH=47.60
07-08 Mesh LH&RH=56.60
07-08 grill.... im not sure i didnt ask the dealer cuz i was going to buy the shark mouth one on ebay...there is other stuff like the wiring for the fog lights but if im wrong please correct me if i am

and yes there is a gap right by the wheel area im not sure if its supposed to be there but there is a bracket that hold it in place

I bought the TEIN SS

THANKS i put alot of work on this TL lol i just painted the wheels to i will post pics when i can!!!

 

Did you sell the old 04 A Spec kit? I just got an 04 and was looking for the A spec lip kit

 

^nope not yet im thinking about posting it in the blackmarket just really lazy haha

 

Yeah it does look really good, just a shitty situation for me. I have a SSM and would have to get an ASM lip then repaint just costs to much.
