2005 TL with Type-S Aspec kit.
whats up azine!
i recently order the type-s aspec in nbp. i know some people on here said it cant be done and its better to buy the 2008 bumper, but i took the risk and cut my bumper and found a way to install it on. It was pretty hard especially the fogs i didnt know where to mount them i used metal plates to hold them in place.I also did a navi- conversion (will find pics later) cost me 700 on parts. On with the PICS
Next Mod:
-drop on tiens ss
-paint my front bumper
-redo my tint!
-aspec sides
-rear view mirrors with signaling

Everyone said a mix of "no it won't fit" or "you have to cut the lip/bumper" to "it'll fit no problem" if they had ssm in the lip I would have went for it! But good job can you post what you cut out etc?
Edit:: taking a better look I see what you cut ! That isn't much at all tbh It almost looking like nothing needed to be cut did you have a pic of from the inside showing why that part of the bumper needed to be cut? I know selfish request hehe

Here's the DIY: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=817615
You only do a bit of cutting with the dremel.
The 07/08 grill opening is taller than the 04-06.
That means you have to get rid of some of the middle section (behind the grill bar, you wont see the cut). You just cut the grill right in half and trim the nub off.

i literally used like 10 zip ties on each side and drilled random holes to hold it up. the smaller the hole you cut the better to wedge the light in there.
