Bent09, you are in Houston right? You coming out this weekned to D&B? I would really really like to see this and maybe take a ride to hear the cabin noise.
So you have like a '06 rear bumper with a TL-S rear lip? Sorry, I kinda jumped some posts. What do I need to do to my '06 for this to work (I already have factory A-Spec).

Can someone clarify what needs to be trimmed on the '06 bumper to make the '07 TL-S rear lip fit? Should I just buy a 07 TL-S bumper cover too?

there is a short DIY write up on how to put the 07+ Aspec lip on the 04-06 bumper.. it requires dremmeling and cutting your bumper. Buying the entire 07+ TL-S rear bumper cover will eliminate that need, but will cost you about $300+ painting of the bumper.... so thats like an extra $500 cost... better off cutting it, or payign a body shop like $200 to make it fit perfectly.

What grill are you talking about? something to fill in the rear aspec lip between the exhaust outlets? i think that would look GREAt. and i might try to fabricate something of a mesh style to fill in there... we'll see....

I called an acura dealer and they said it would be in on Wed. Maybe it is the wrong part number?
If you fab one I would pay.

I bought a painted 07 aspec, cut the stock rear. It is easier to show you.

For the exhausts, they are starting the mandrel bending setup today.
The J-pipe, I'm setting up the dyno before I'd like to finalize production on it. No gain, no pipe...but I did feel a worthwhile difference that put a surprising grin on my face. We'll see how it reflects onto the dyno results.

But if the exhaust, or J-pipes finish first, I'd probably ship them out first in order to get the parts out to those who have been waiting for a while already. They will be shipped in different boxes anyway.

Did you have to custom paint that aspec lip or were you able to get it painted already? Also are you using an 04~06 bumper or the 07 Type-S?

I am using a 04-06 bumper and cut it. The only problem is that there is not a insert for the grill (which I just learned). So that gap will remain until you fab something to fill it in.

The honey comb grill snaps into an 07 tls oem bumper. Then the aspec sits on top of the bumper so the grill you see through the aspec hole is on the oem bumber.
So those of us who have cut the bumper have to fab something.

I'll certainly hold out for the new laser etching if it means waiting a few more days.
I just wanted to let you know I was now "ready":

Yep. Used some mirror mastic... It's a thick epoxy kinda shit.
Just taped it on, and laid a glue bead aroud the edge.
It matches my fron grilles... "The drapes now match the rug".
