A spec lip kit

Hey guys, i just picked up a 04 tsx with navi in grey. I am adding the a-spec lip kit. Do i need just the front and back numpers or do i have to add the side skirts as well. Most aftermarket kits i have seen are selling the mugen style skirts that i dont love. Thanks for any responses.

I have the A-Spec kit for the +06 TSX. The side skirts don't really stand out as much compared to the front and rear lip. I would just do the front and rear lip if I was on a budget.

For my 06, the A-spec side skirts have very similar dimension (length, height, thickness) as OEM; but, the A-Spec have a slight aero bulge on the bottom of outer edge compared to just being flat sided. The side skirts will take the place of mud flaps for the fronts (rear lip will replace rear mud flaps).

IMO the 04/05 sideskirts look much better then the 06+ ones if you're looking to change everything, but if you're putting the aspec kit on the 06+ the stock sideskirts are pretty nice on their own.

Thanks guys. That is the same color as the one I got too. Do you have more pics? Any other mods you have done. I have back and was thinking of adding the Bluetooth from guru I believe it is.

I've had my 06 TSX since new and now have about 140,000 miles on her now. Most mods were done the first few months of ownership and still have all the mods now. The only mods I added later was the camber kit (front/rear camber out), Power endlinks (snapped OEM endlink), and painted black calipers (rusty) after 100k. Belongs to my kid entering his sophomore year of college and expect for him to drive until his first job after graduation.

Exterior:
- A-spec front/rear/side body kit,
- rear wing spoiler,
- clear bra on front/side mirrors/headlights/fogs,
- door edge molding, and
- sunroof air deflector.

Interior:
- Metal trim kit,
- Acura sport pedals,
- black all season floor mats,
- 350Z cargo net,
- Acura OEM cargo net,
- black trunk tray,
- 35% window tint,
- LED interior light kit,
- LED back up lights

Suspension, Wheel and Tires:
A-Spec suspension
Progress RSB
HeelToe HTSpec ultimate Camber Kit combo
Fastline Adjustable Powerlinks for sway bar
17 inch ASA AR1 chrome rims with Conti DWS and Painted Black Calipers
