So I finally got around to putting the rear 08 TL-S Lip on a couple weeks ago on my 04 NBP TL. I wanted to know what you guys think good or bad. I'm pretty happy w/ the end results
Sorry for the crappy quality pics, my camera stinks.

Here's a shot w/ the current setup I had just before doing the work
(the old lip is subsequently for sale in the BM)




Here's a shot of my bumper after I cut her up




And here she is, all done!












For fun


FYI: The tips I used to replace the stocks are OEM Porche 997 tips I got off eBay for $40. I also plan on making a custom diffuser as soon as the grille mesh comes in the mail. So what do you guys think?

 

Interesting...

This is just my opinion but I like the before more than the after. Again, just my opinion since you asked. But as long as you're happy...

 

is it just me or the exhaust tips are pointing outwards........and also is ur aspec not lined up correctly with the back bumper?

 

^^^^ yep noticed that too! it's too low. it should cover that small edge in the middle and almost touch the bumper to body line near the wheel well. you know that horizontal line on the side view.

 

borrowed this pic just so you know what im talking about

 

you should get type s stock tips instead... , or maybe it just need to be clean. i dk...

 

Yeah, I know it sits a little too low. I think the holes I had to drill on the side of the bumper were too far down where the zip tie things go through but, by the time I was putting it back together it was getting dark out and I wanted my car back in one piece while I could still see. I'm gonna fix that when the grille mesh stuff comes in.

 

Oh, and I didn't want chrome tips like stock S. I like how mine match the rear silver trim, stockies wheels, and front grille

 

hmmm, seems like the tips should be switched around. Left tip in right opening, right tip in left opening....

 

i agree! and i have to say, i like the older aspec butt better.

 

Statements like this will almost always destroy any chance of a perfect job. It looks like you got the height correct on the right side, although there are no straight on pics of the right side to confirm.

I like the tips, but I like my stock tip better. It doesn't look bad on your car.

I hope you are able to fix it... So it can be "Perfect", ya know? Plan ahead and don't start unless you know you have enough time and time to spare.

 

I think the exhaust looks koo, but the rear aspec is kinda noticable. Overall, good progress..

 

Atlp ftw!

Get it asap

 

Haha, If I had $1100 to burn...I probably still wouldnt buy it. I got bills to pay and I like quiet And I see what you guys are saying about the tips. Pics don't really do it justice but I may end up straightening them out later on. The pic I was using for reference made the Type S' tips look slanted.
