If you have a base model TL can you still put on the TL-S Aspec body kit? I'm hoping to see the difference in pictures on both options.

All A-Spec sideskirts are the same. Doesn't matter what year, or base or Type-S.

The front A-Spec Type-S COULD fit over the base.

As for the rear, the Type-S one has larger openings for the exhaust and it WILL look funny with your base exhaust. If you plan on upgrading to quads, it will look good, but if you plan to keep your exhaust stock, I'd buy the base A-Spec.

ACKTL's prices include shipping and DUTY therefore it cant be beat.
Especially if you factor in cost of gas and travel time its almost a no brainer.

There a tutorial for installation or if your not comfortable to do it I'd recommend SpeedStar.
Their techs are familiar with our cars and they take their time to make sure things are done right the first time around.

Here's how my A-Spec kit went down:

Ordered the A-Spec kit through tim (oemacuraparts).
He specified the dealer which is actually located in Peoria, AZ to ship the lip kit to his house in Buffalo.

On a Sunday I drove down, installed it at his house, went to the mall, and drove back home a happy person.

I liked my drive down to Buffalo to Tim (oemacuraparts) house.

Got to pick up some stuff from the mall Walden Galleria right by his house lol

We installed the whole kit together which didn't take longer than 3 hours.
