So I was hit in the rear by a guy that ran a stop sign last month. I finally got a check from his insurance, so I ordered a Type S A-Spec lip (which FedEx damaged, but thats another story). Before I bring the car in for the body repairs and paint (plus a little extra surprise) I took off the Base A-Spec lip to save labor hours from the body shop. Here are the before and after pics. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will have TRUE "after" pics when I install the new lip.





Poor car.

 

Nice pics...

 

are u getting a type s bumper as well? those tips are going to look very small on a type s lip

 

Good idea...some simple DIYs will def save labor time. I hope everything works out for you.

 

Man, sorry to see your car got rear ended. It will look good with the Type S Aspec.

At least you're getting it fixed. Dremel time?

 

Yes I'm getting the Type S lip, and I may have to consider having quad tips welded on at some point, but for now I just want to get this straightened out and get the A-Spec wheels back on the car. I'm going to remove the bumper and see if I can straighten out the damage and buff out the paint and avoid having to use the body shop.

 

what a difference the lip makes, hope can get it worked out, good you're getting the type S lip incase for the quads later, GL.

 

Yeah... quarter panel has to be pushed out from inside the trunk. I'll have to let the pros take care of that. Oh well, it just means I can't pocket all of the insurance money, at least I can get it fixed and it won't cost me out of MY pocket.
