How much to install kit?

Does anybody know how much it costs to have the tsx kit installed? Not exact dollar amount but maybe what you paid for it. Not for the price of the kit, just the installation. I just need to do some comparison shopping. Thank you.

Which kit are you talking about? The OEM body kit?

It's really easy to do it yourself. Just give it a try first. You'll save alot of money.
Its gonna take you longer to put them on, but its worth it.

I agree do it yourself it's very easy and save yourself some cash since if you do pay someone they'll probably want $300-500.

It's easy. Everything is simply bolt on over the original body panels.

South Sac and yes the OEM kit. I was going to do it myself but I've never tried it anything like that before. I was just wondering what was the going rate.

Thank you all for your reply.

Is it actually that easy to install the kit. Looks pretty complicated and lengthy...
But it seems worth it if you save a few hundred dollars!!!

The only thing that might delay your install process is not having the correct tools. Once you have the correct tools and pick a nice sunny day you should be fine.
