Installed Type-S Rear A-spec
Last night I installed this pretty much in the dark.

It took a lot more time than expected. But anyway, I decided not to go with the honeycomb in the cutout and just used the default 07 rear bumper "mesh"

In the dark, I somehow powerdrilled my finger, made 3 fatal mistakes of drilling holes in the rear bumper in the wrong location... luckily you can't see it unless you look close.

Now i can't wait for my ATLP quads to get here.

you must be joking right? i receive mine today from deray acura online store and it was like $260 shipped FACTORY PAINTED.

Did you buy this from a dealer because the oem version a-spec should had come pre painted already

I don't know, I would need more than one picture to justify if it's sagging.

I suspect I did something wrong. You know on the bae how it had this exhaust cover surrounding the top part of exhaust? Was I suppose to cut that entire piece off?

I thing that piece might be pushing the aspec exhaust port down?

A) It is sagging a bit.
B) For those wondering, Carbon Gray Pearl replaced Anthracite Metallic for the 07-08 base years.
C) Looks good man. Bet you'll be in love once the exhaust gets on.
