I need your hi-quality a-spec pictures

I need some hi-quality (no snapshots) pictures that show the front of your car with the a-spec spoiler. Must be daytime and easy to work with in photoshop, i.e. under exposed/dark areas.

Motivate me with some nice, clean pictures you guys.

Always wanted something like that.
Something nice and subtle like the V-limited on the STI.

Woah, another AM bumper conversion? Looks like 07-08 base, correct me if I'm wrong. Looking forward to seeing the final product

My guess is, its an add on front lip to the pre-existing lip that flares out forward.

Thanks for all the pics guys they were very helpful.

This is just an idea, but will probably change a lot. Just want to get some feedback of what everyone wants from their car. A more aggressive add-on, complete replacement, something OE-VIP looking, etc.

Eh idk about the add on lip. I'm feeling the idea for a small subtle add on piece to the matte gray part of the ASpec though, the double lip looks cheesy imo.

Are you saying an add-on lip like what I had photoshopped, or an add on lip on the stock a-spec lip, leaving a space in the middle?

Yeah, I think this gives it a very clean feel. I think it would look even hotter in CF.

This hot, as is. I'll take 1 in ASM. On a serious note tho, if you can make it a add on to the existing aspec lip that would be even better..

Add on lip

Let me clarify my post. I don't want the lip to look like that E55. What I envision is something subtle, yet more sporty and aggressive. While the TL can slightly pull off the VIP look, I believe it looks better when dressed up as a sports sedan.

I think that following what tuners have done with the M and AMG cars would be best. They have found ways to make the car looks sportier and meaner while still retaining its lines and factory beauty. I hope that makes sense.

Here are some examples:

I'm kinda looking for a slightly aggressive OE VIP look haha. IMO, I love how the stock lip is where it goes down on the side, so I don't want that to be a straight piece across. I might photoshop it later after school what I think.

Talking Anyone remember this?

RonJon was contemplating a subtle lip kit for the 3rd gen. But for certain reasons it was passed up. These are the samples I found in the thread he posted OCT of 2007.

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/ronjon-tl-s-lip-kit-please-vote-627200/






MIKE if you manage to get a kit done.... YOU WILL FOREVER BE MY HERO!

I think making a whole new lip would be best. That way, for those who don't have an a-spec lip don't have to go out and buy one just to be able to use the add-on lip.

You should do somethiing for the 07-08 base-----the only option we have is to go TL-s A-spec. Wish we had an add on like the garnish on the 04-06

add on lip that fills in the middle for more flush look.
