The rear are PITA to search for, since it produce for only 2 years and for Type S specific. Your best bet would be pull a part yard, since everyone on FB will be like $850 and you pay for shipping. Hell couple weeks back there was a guy who sold a NBP new rear lip for $1100.

I'll have to do some looking around and see. I'll be surprised if I do find one. Only pull your own parts I normally go to don't have any; checked earlier this week.

Yeah I'm trying to find the rear but no luck so far. The sides I might wait on since the TL-S is already flared from the factory. Yeah, those guys are getting scammed on the marketplace for the fronts; can't believe it how much they're charging for them. Most are going between 500-800 lol

Or you can turn around and sell them the front lip for $600 Home Boi hook up.

Is anyone familiar with the site acurapartspeople.com? Started looking for a rear lip and came across that site, sent an inquiry to see if they had any inventory left though I doubt they do. Did come across one available from a local dealer, unfortunately in MRP and not NBP.

Was in Fayetteville NC. It was pictured as a Type-S lip but apparently upon searching the part # it was a base.

Maaang......do those junkyard owners/people get first dibs when they get a car in?

I mean its great to get to a yard the first a car is available but I wouldn't be surprised if the owner of the yard gets to pick first and then leave the rest for the public to fight over....but man an intact/decent shape A-spec kit at a junk yard will be super hot item for sure...you gotta be there when they load the car into the lot probably.....

I know a guy who make profit of buying junk car and sell just the Aspec lip kit. Well the rest is even more profit.

Wish I could afford an ASPEC kit. Though I would rather use that same money and buy one of Truongs 6MT TLs. Then put of the boost kits on it!

I’m usually tinkering in the Performance section.

I would rather sleep in my TL like one of my Brothers did for eight months rather than sell any TL. I don’t even sell the parts I collect!

at 1 point, I had an entire TL in parts up in my attic.
I'm always looking, but I need another car like I need another asshole.
It would be nice to have to alternate or to have 1 designated "in" and 1 "out"...
but I certainly don't "need" one. Just sentimental value.

If Thea still has his white 05 6MT I may actually buy it eventually. He takes good care of his car maintainence and uses OEM parts.

I have two Type-S and a Base 2008

Guess I am Saving4aTL again
