i have a ? im debating whether i should buy a type s bumper for the ATLP quad exhaust or maybe if should have a guy i know in town and have him mod the bumper so that the exhaust would fit. any recommendations? im wondering if it would be cheaper to mod it instead of paying $300-$500 for a bumper heh.. "sigh" doesn anyone know the difference between the 2? im thinking the type s probably has a wider exhaust port? any and all info would be greatly appreciated :-)

 

you can cut the existing bumper("exhaust ports") then add the rear type-s a-spec lip.

 

+1 I think it would look a little odd with the opening just cut up. I'd say cut the opening, and get the Type-S rear to cover up the roughness.

 

+2. It's the most economical option as well.

 

I myself went the non-economical way, as I purchased a brand new type s rear bumper, got it painted which totalled 500.

My best friend took the other route, as I cut his bumper for him, and put a type s rear aspec lip over it, and it was perfectly fine, except for the lower garnish. He has a giant hole.

 

hrm i was thinking ofd purchasing the exhaust and then taking to a guy down here where i live. they are excellent and i was going to ask him to cut it and they will repaint it and all that? $500 tho from acura and they will put it on? hrm, i live the aspec lip i have now but i guess the type S will look good onthe car also? i have never seen any phots you could direct me to to see the difference between type s rear bumper and 06 aspec bumper? thanks so much guys !!

No since I belive the official ne is $225, why no throw the extra few and get the real deal.
