yes, easy but you need another set of hands to help out.
and leave out the hammer that you used on the cabinet jobs.

thanks....you know those "seals" i was wondering about? well...turns out they were only like little square paddings which was already on the original side piece...i replaced them anyways since i already bought some...anyways...i cant believe how good this looks...even though i have seen it on 100's of cars like ours...i guess to me it just looks different when it's your own...it only took a friend and myself like 1hour and 10 minutes...the sides took 15 minutes a piece...thanks again...

I was just giving you a hard time yesterday. Glad you took it in stride.

My wife helped me put my OEM kit on about 2 years ago. I agree on the look it gives the car though. Plus you get satisfaction out of the DIY.

Enjoy it.

That sucks man. I would still just install the front and back first. The sides are really easy, and the difference between the stock and body kit ones aren't that big, so it won't look all that bad.

WheaMyRyceGo-
Is your car Silver/NH623?
I also got the wrong color side skirts. They should be CGP/NH658, but I got NH623. I talked to JP at Hondaacuraworld.com this afternoon (Tim was out today) , and he said they'd order a new set and send them next week. He said they must have came mismarked from Acura, but I told him there was probably someone out there from the group buy with my CGP side skirts.
It sucks to have to wait to put them on!

Hahaha. At least you guys got the peices from the TSX. I ordered a CG kit that i got last night. First i thought that the rear bumper was missing exhaust tips. But then later on, i realized they messed up all together and gave me a black TL as the rear peice.

That is the paint code for Satin Silver

NH623 = SSM

NH658 = CGP
