STI Lip on '04-'06 A-Spec
Hey guys! Having seen a few STI lip threads of people asking what fits, I figured I'd create this thread, including pictures. I found that the '11-'14 fits best on my '06 TL. It wraps around the A-Spec lip perfectly, all the way to the wheel well.
It requires a good amount of work (at least an hour or two's worth) to get it to fit right. You'll need at least two people, a heat gun, and a handful of your hardware of choice to bolt it up.
The two trouble spots are on the curves of both lips, but with a good amount of heat and pressure, the lip can be molded to fit - once the lip is hot and malleable, one person holds the lip in place while the other secures it down while its still hot. This lip should fit '07-'08 Base and Type-S A-Spec, but will still require some work.
This is the lip I purchased, and its even cheaper than before! $55!

Here are some pics of it installed on my car... enjoy. Excuse the dirty car pictures haha.

Seeing this beautiful Type S in the snowbound hurts my heart. But I love the Aspec lip with the touch of gray.

ill be trying it out in hopefully 2-3 weeks as soon as i get my type s bumper and a spec pieces in
OP you seem to have a mild drop, so I'm curious how low is your front end now off the ground with that lip?

Thanks for all the love, guys!
Steven, its a UA6.
I'm lowered on Tein Street Basis, with 1" all around left on the threads. It doesn't add a lot to the lip to make it sit lower, but it definitely looks like the car sits lower thanks to the lip.
Also, NBP*Vengeance takes credit for doing the majority of the work. :P

Confusing Name Guy
Oh I know its a different lip (sadly), I actually got in touch with Nextmod about it since its one of the cosmetic upgrades I would love on my TL. It IS modded after an STI lip as well though, just thought I'd throw it in here since we're getting all the lip love

The diffuser lip is a nice addition.

I'm reviving this thread only because the link that OP provided reports that only 1 is left in stock and it is selling for $1,052.00 
There are other links with them for $55.
