Nicely done sir! Clean WDP ftw!

You can get the front bumper plugs from your local Acura dealership or you can contact one of our vendors. If I were you I would lower the car and then get the A-Spec kit.

Aspec Kits are always a great addition for the TL-even the Type S. Go with your instincts...

You dont NEED to drop it first - My Megans are in the mail as I write this, and I actually dont think the Type-S looks too bad @ stock height. Obviously it will look better with the gaps eliminated, but I think it looks pretty damn good.

Sorry, the pic isn't the greatest, but you get the idea.

Used this picture from above post to compare the two. car with no drop and aspec kit:


Car dropped on tein basic coilovers with 2 1/2 inch drop with no aspec kit:


IMO it looks better with the drop.You will also get looks as well as performance with the coilovers. you only get looks with the aspec. I just cant stand wheel gap. might just be me though lol. either way good luck with the purchase!

and of course heres with both, pure sex! haha

i was in the same predicament a couple weeks ago. coils or a-spec kit?

i ended up getting coils because the thing is, the TL-S looks great being stock, nothing bad about the design. lip kit does look better, but only to those who are looking for it.

coilovers on the other hand, will be a noticeable difference to everyone and improves handling too.

I get them on Friday so hopefully this weekend...if not, then by next weekend for sure! Thanks to all for the compliments!!! More to come!!

in my opinion only nobody elses get the a spec sport suspension.. only 800 strut assemblies was made in the usa. acura/ honda of america is discontinuing the kit so get it while they last, mines are on will call at the dealer, cant mess with ebay struts, just doesnt feel authentic enough.. must come with a spec badge to know u got the real thing.. oh btw get the whole wrap a round kit.. it look good
