You can do it yourself without any special tools in a couple hours. Hardest part is the wing which involves drilling into your trunk.

depends how much your dealership charges per hour but it's a 2-3 hour job.

i installed it myself, took me about a half-day. some other members here have done it in 1-2hrs

You should be able to do it yourself (if you want to of course). I put my kit on in about 4 hours. You'll have to take off the rear wheels when you do the side-skirts, but other than that it's pretty much just laying on your back under the car a bit. It's actually really easy and the directions are pretty precise. I would say it would take about an hour and a half with a lift and everything so probably around $100. You can get the directions for the kit at Hondacura.....world.com

My local dealer quoted me $800 for the wing spoiler with installation. That means installation is $200 just for the wing.

if you're not great with tools, you should have a pro do the spoiler.

as for the rest, just make sure you get it all aligned properly, it shoudlnt' be too tough for a DIY.

use a lil elbow grease! the underbody is not that hard, might have some sore hands afterwards from tightening bolts. and forget the OEM spoiler, you'll be sorry later if you get it

a lot of members are sorry they got the OEM rear spoiler after seeing how good the lip spoiler works... and you can't really undue the factory one after you've drilled holes in the trunk.
