Guess i was wrong on the a-spec, but it looks good! Pretty good cuts.
Will you leave the cuts as are or will you find way to fill in the gap?

Im using the LEDs fog lights from the mercedes e class.

I live in las vegas, in the centennial hill area. Which part of nevada do you live in? Perhaps, we can meet up or something.

It is the 07-08 base tl lip spoiler. Thank you
i do not know yet. My friends like the lip spoiler the way it is right now. However, I might paint it same color as the car.
This is what i have in mind

Noo.. why on earth would i do such a thing?

I have always wanted to install the 04-06 front lip spoiler on my type-s bumper; however, i didn't want to spent too much money on it so i decided to get the 07-08 base lip spoiler instead. Got an awesome deal btw so I couldn't let this go away LOL

this is what i did

PS. sorry for the crappy pictures




Result:



As you can see i left a black line to get the look of a 04-06 lip spoiler (might not be exactly the same but again i like it).
Perhaps if i had worked on it more, it would have turned out much better but i'm happy with the result. Specially because i worked on it

Wow! Great job! Did you use spray paint? I'm guessing painstcratch.com? From the pic it looks like a perfect match!

Ugh, I love this car even more now.

The paint match looks really good!
You guys used a paint booth and proper spray guns eh?

Wow, you really did a nice tasteful job w/your car! I love the ass shots too! Very nice work w/the MB LED DRL's! Very clean! All your CF work looks sick! I want to do a few pieces on my car too...but I have no time or patience. Maybe I can find someone here on AZ that'll do it for a price. Ca$h! Great job bro!

For some reason, i didn't feel the front lip spoiler the way we did it the first time, so i decided to have my friend paint the black part that we left alone. I didn't want to give it a go so i had to ask him lol
My friend skills are beyond my imagination, he did such a great job. The paint matches beautifly!
Now the front looks much better, well at least to me

Some crappy pictures

^thanks swoosh.

Not much really... i have pretty much done almost everything i have on my agenda; however, there are few things left

- Open headlights to put CF on the yellow reflectors (not sure if i would ever do it, too lazy) lol
- Acura tl type s brembo brakes (not sure about doing this also lol)
- paint the base of the mirrors black (might do this, but do not know when lol)

as you can see i haven't made up my mod LOL
I'm happy with the car as is right now
