Picked up a new whip

After one and a half years of owning this 05 Black TL, it finally came to an end. I got T-Boned kinda, well he hit my fender at 70km/h and i spun out. It was notified as a total loss and insurance gave me 12g out of that. God damn i missed that car.






Then i picked up this baby



If anyone in the Toronto area or GTA has hookups to the Type S Aspec kit please let me know It looks funny without it haha

Check out one of the sponsor ( AckTL05 ) selling the whole kit, there is a group buy going on,
It looks like that you got a base front on a Type S

Yup, good eye, that's the base front bumper.

Luckily, you can still fit the Type-S A-Spec, though.

Like what I said check out AckTL05, it is a lot cheaper to get the whole kit from him plus it's painted but if money is not an issue get it from the dealership, nobody except the dealership sells the Aspec kit here in Canada unless you go bootleg

Something smells super fishy here. Why would someone go through all that trouble to transform a type s to look like a base?

Yes the Aspec kit will fit but you will only need the Aspec base lip for the front to fit

you can get it from dealers around your area but its going to cost you an arm and a leg. discounted price already from the dealer is already around 1300 without install.

i got it from a member here by the name of AckTL05, he ships it to you from the states. mine came in about like 3 days, pretty fast. and it comes painted depending on your color
