Installed A-spec kit over the weekend

I installed the A-spec body kit on my 2005 PWP TSX yesterday. The installation took 4 hours and my dad helped. The end product looks great!

The only snag we ran into was the exhaust tip... we sprayed the bolt with WD-40 and let it sit for about 5min and tried to take off the bolt but it wouldn't budge. We did it again and it snapped off.

I'm thinking were going to have to drill the old bolt out...hopefully it wont be a pain.

...the pics:








Also some tips for people who install the kit in the future:

-when you attach tape to the 3m tape cover (before you remove it) make sure you tape it on very well so it doesn't come off (wrap it around the tab) and also stick it to the body kit piece. This is so when you put the piece on it doesn't get stuck inside and you may forget about it. I also taped the pre-tabbed pieces with extra tape and stuck it to the body kit.
-Count how many 3m tape pieces there are so you make sure you got them all before you pull it off and attach!
-instead of taking off the rear tires to screw in the side skirts self tapping screws my dad had a screwdriver ratchet (http://hand-tools.hardwarestore.com/...er-660646.aspx) It worked great!!! and saved tire removing the rear tires.
-as someone stated for the front you can just turn the tires all the way to the left or right for whatever side your working on.
-lastly make sure you use two people...i doubt i would of been able to do this by myself, when your putting on the front bumper you need one person on each side. (I'm sure it can be done with one but i wouldn't want to worry about dropping or scratching anything!)
