I was just at a car show and they had my TSX with the body kit on it. it looks slick, butthe price tag said 2200$$ CAD extra for it.
is this the proper cost for a kit? or would other companies like mugen or whatever have the same prices?

Mugen is much more expensive. The OEM kit is of good quality but only you can decide if it's worth the money.

To get any other aftermarket body kit painted and added on is going to cost you more unless you know somebody who does body work who owes you a favor.

honestly the body kit is going to add virtually nothing to your resale value. it's one of those things where three years from now when you sell the car you'll wish that you had saved the $2,000.

I like the clean, simple lines of the TSX with no add ons. The TSX has a world class CD of 0.27. Why mess with it. Just my opinion.

IMO it depends on whether or not you are going to drop your car. I think if you arent going to lower it DO NOT buy the kit, it looks ridiculous at stock height (again just my opinion). Personally, I think the kit with a 2-2.5 inch drop makes the tsx complete..and of course some rims, tires, i/h/e and hondata when it comes out..

i like my kit, cant beat a prepainted kit for $900 that fits exactly like it should...sure, i'll be getting pennies on the dollar when/if i sell but i think it's worth spoiling myself and my ride once in awhile

I really don't pay too much attention to resale value. If you want to do something to your car go for it. It's your car not someone elses....

Ditto for me. I find that the front bumper doesn't look quite right without the skirt.
