2007 TL Aspec/Bumper Question

Hey all just had a question? I have some damage to my front bumper which is probably just going to have to get replaced with a new one. My question is does the Aspec front bumper bolt on to the existing one, or does it completely replace the oem one?

Nope, its just a lip that attaches to the existing stock bumper. It might cover up the damage to your bumper, its tough to tell on my phone.

I need some help here all of you guys with an aspec kit would the front lip cover up this damage? How does it attach to the front bumper? Any help would be appreciated.

Dude, your question was answered in POST#2.
and I believe it will cover that hole. if not, bite the bullet and get a new bumper.

Yeah I've been doing some research and body shop tells me it won't cover, but a local Acura dealership say it will not sure what to believe? To evil virus how would you even repair that body shops say they just replace??

I don't understand how this would NOT cover that hole up. What do you think? https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/unofficial-spec-difference-thread-853331/

I'm no expert, but looking at my 05, the part of that hole that WILL show is the small part on the upper vertical plane. The aspec lip covers the narrow horizontal plane plus the thickness of the lip kit itself. Hope this helps.
