Went to the dealer to see if that could find the front spoiler for me and the moldings. They couldn't find the front I'm my color. I'll keep looking...

Did you check another dealer? Is online not on the table? My dealer told me it would be $600. Thankfully it comes painted. Going to wait till the summer, hopefully by then I can get EVERYTHING at the same time lol.

why not just have it painted in your color? its an 07 anyway.. so the paint has faded alittle due to age might as well get one painted to match

Yeah, that's what one of the Acura employees said. But, 380 for the front spoiler and 300.00 for good paint.

I'm afraid so! I am not sure, but they did have RBP in stock. Wonder if checking the junk yards would be any good.

No worries ken, I will give them a call or drop by on the weekend if I can. The exchange rate is VERY favorable for you!

The factory lip unbolts from the bumper and the aspec bolts right back on. Nothing hard about that.

Just call them and make sure they have your color first

Another excellent source is ebay. I was able to find a dark red factory fresh lip from some place in Ohio for $130......shipped! Just search by the part number 08F01-STK-XXX where XXX is your paint code (recommend just searching 08F01-STK) or by description and see what you find.

If it's the wrong color, just sand it up with 120, 220, finish with 320 or 400 and it's ready for your favorite shop to paint.

Just called the dealer, neither dealer has one in stock, they said it is currently on backorder, but can order it in. But it won't be till the end of january/start of february. Also it is $628.

That's not bad for 8.5psi. Was Alex running into problems trying to turn the boost up?

What was the temperature this morning? We already switched to e70 out here. I haven't had starting issues at 30 degrees. The 15% makes a difference

On e70 no. E85 was usually a pain below 40 degrees. Derek added as much cranking fuel to help he could. Only gets so good. Nature of the beast lol.

I haven't tried e85 on the rdx yet. but on my other car there is no difference in starting between 93 and e85, must be tune related.

If you keep your GTR in a nice warm garage your statement is invalid lol. E85 vs e70 under 40 degrees there is a difference. Not tune related. Thats why they have a winter and summer blend.
