I havent rubbed yet but the camber is off still in the rear so when i get an alignment wednesday and they adjust the rear i might get them rolled in the rear.

I'm talking about the driveability of the car such as clearance issues and scraping. I loved the look of my Cobra slammed, but it was the biggest pain driving it anywhere. It seems like the TL sits fairly high at stock height so I don't know if 1.75-2" will make a huge difference.

Car is looking great. I'm surprised how similar your drop is compared to my s techs, which dropped me a little more than I expected. A spec lip time!

Then that's it...go for the base then. ATLP and XLR8 make a base tip and RV6 will eventually too.

I like having an all original 04 aspec kit.

If you don't plan on getting a new exhaust, I'd stick with the base rear. The tips you have on now won't fill out the type s rear and I've really grown to like the base aspec rear.

If they fill the stock tip area now, they will be too small for the Type-S opening.

So that means you'll have a full inch on each side of the tips once you get the Type-S rear lip.

Dan, its simple, if you like quad tips go with the Type S aspec....if you like single tips (oval/round/porsche style) go with the base aspec....

I had the Type S aspec rear and i dislike quads with a passion (unless its burnt titanium style)....and i recently traded with a local for his base aspec kit....my oval tips (like ATLP) fit that opening sooo well...
