Where to buy front lip only?

Has anyone seen where you can buy the front lip only for either the OEM lip or the RonJon one? They both make the car look sooooo much better, but I don't want to clunk down the money for the full kit when the front is really what needs dressing up the most. Has anyone done this? Anyone with pics? I'm hoping just doing the front bumper won't make it look too funny.

Hmmm, I just need the sideskirts. Maybe we should team up, buy the kit and split all the parts.

Dont be a tool...get the whole kit. You will just eventually end up doing it for twice the money. Crap...I think I got the whole kit for $600 from AofEParts on Ebay. Note...put the back on without the side skirts too and it will most likely look as it it crapped its pants and is missing something. The side skirts match the back (hang down, shape, etc.). You could get away with just the A-spec front lip.....but other than that....it would look hokey and most likely look as it if was lacking something. I HAVE seen people do everything but the back bumper though...and that looked ok? I was dumb...I bought the rims.... the suspension....the body kit....and spoiler...the badging...etc. all seperate at seperate times....what a waste. Could have gotten a better deal all together! Do be a doof like I was....just get it all together! One will just lead you to the other!

I'm in the same situation, got the suspension & spoiler already. Thinking of getting the lip kit now and waiting to see if '06 will have different rims.

So what does everyone think of the front lip only? It's always been my impression that the side skirts don't do much to the appearance of the car -- are they really that different from the stock ones? Would the A-Spec front on stock side skirts look funny? How much lower is the A-Spec lip than stock?

I too am thinking of the front lip only. It'd be nice to see one on a TL before I buy one. And thanks for the link to acuraparts247.com, millerrh. Besides the look, I wonder about it's durability with only tape holding it to the bumper. ?

I'm pretty sure you drill into the current bumper to hold it on as well. I saw someone who posted a link to the install instructions at one point and I'm pretty sure drilling was part of them.

Does anyone have a picture of a TL with the front lip only? I'd really like to see it.

There have been discussions (and pics) of this previously, you can probably search and find them. I think it looks pretty stupid, but to each his/her own.

I found pics in the gallery. I think it looks pretty good with just the front lip. Here's the link...
