no aftermarket side skirt will match up right with the front. they sit much lower. the oem will match up perfect, plus they even match the rear lip. ull see when its painted. trust me. it looks 100x better in person.

So it's $700 just to mold the accord rear to the stock bumper? Or did you have to get the accord rear on your own? And does this price include paint? Sorry for the questions. Thanks.

Does that price include being painted to match the rest of your car?

call ross at mobile west. www.mobilewestonline.com
as far as i know $700 to do the rear and primer. he'll get the lip, you supply the bumper. so since the lip is like $200 plus shipping. u figure its bout 400-500 to mold and primer.

and as far as side skirts. the stock are the only ones that do line up with both the front and the back. when its painted ull see. everyone asks how much for the kit, they have no idea they are oem. we all know though.

I have to ask, the kit looks great!!! But the front bumper does not mold properly to the hood of the car. There is a gap that is not symmetrical. Is this a result of the mold, or the hood?

if ur talkin bout this its so minor. honda body panels dont match up perfect stock half the time to begin with. the mold has nothin to do up there. its a brand new acura bumper just primered. when its painted black u wont be able to tell, not to mention that is a close up pic. that is actually better then when i drove my car off the lot when i first bought it. the fenders line up better with capsers hood then with my old one. also none of the clips and spacers are mounted for the bumper. its on there temp for now.

how much did that cost to have that done to your front and back bumper? I might have it done if the price is right and you dont mind!
