Acura TL P-1 Front Lip '04-'08
Anyone using this lip? Im not really feeling the stock aspec front lip for 08, its just tooo subtle it almost looks like there is no lip at all...

seriously........Is aspec the only choice out there for the 07-08 base?

you could custom mount the type s lip on the base. People are doing the base lip on the type s so I am sure somethign can be done the other way around.

anything is possible. Check out Oscar's progress thread, where he took a 07-08 front bumper and custom fitted a 04-06 lip:

Im really considering this and has crossed my mind a lot. The only thing different from an 07-08 base bumper and an 07-08 type-S bumper is the fog lights right? if thats the case then a dremel should help make it fit...

Versus front bumper is another option- One of my favorite TL's on this site:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/versus-front-bumper-painted-photos-613522/

It's not for everyone that's for sure but I admire all the work Eric has done to his car.

Correct. It's designed for the 04-06 bumper.
