Does anybody know if you order the 04-06 A-spec kit, does it come with that black piece on the rear bumper cover? The one between the exhaust tips.

You don't need a replacement bumper for the ASPEC kit. It's a lip that attaches to your existing bumper and that can be found through a few vendors on here. Depending on the color of your car, you may need to have the kit painted.

Anyone have any recommendations on where i can get a deal on the entire lip kit? I have searched for recommendations but they are quite dated.Was hoping someone has gotten a good deal on the kit recently. Thanks.

I am about 95% on pulling the trigger on the Aspec lip kit on my 08 Base but to me there isn't much difference in the Base TL reg bumpers than to the Aspec Kit. For that much money I'm just not sure....

ALL A-Spec sideskirts are the same. There is NO difference between 04-06 Base, 07-08 Base, and 07-08 Type-S A-Spec sideskirts. Part numbers and paint codes may differ but they look identical and install the same way.
ALL 04-08 Base rear lips are the same.

Old thread revival!

I was wondering if the 07-08 Base front lip will fit on a 04-06, but based on Post #80 it looks like it won't fit because of the lower grills.
