Update: FedEx just delivered by body kit!

Correct color and all hardware seems to be in place. Now I just need to find the time and place to install it. There was one small ding in the paint of the lip, right at the top edge, but I'm not going to sweat it. I've already touched it up, and it'll soon be joined by numerous rock chips anyway.

Quick question: I was going over the directions and it mentions attaching masking tape to the ashesive backing. I assume this is to the sections of adhesive that don't have the tab on them, so you can pull the backing off of the adhesive. Is this correct?

BTW, hondaacuraworld provided great service. Everything done in a timely fashion. Will post pics when it's installed.

You need to go ahead and peel off a tad bit of the adhesive backing and wrap the tape around that. That goes for the backing with the tabs. Otherwise when the kit is on the bumper, it will be next to impossible for you to pull the tape out without snapping the tape. You will never be able to get that tape off.

But that was my only problem with the tape. Everything else was easy. Just time consuming trying to figure it out for the first time. But 2nd time was easy when i helped leonvsclon do his.
