I got my bodykit from Norman Reeves Acura for $850 shipped to Nor. Cali.
If you're in the area and you can pick up the kit, you might be able to get a little cheaper price since they won't have to ship it.

How did you or anyone that has installed the OEM kit install the side skirts? They are a pain the @$$. Did you or anyone else have to remove the tires to get to the 3 screws that are on the side of the side skirts?

yup... In one of my threads... I advise another that it would be much easier if you were to use 4 jack stands and remove all four tires, definetly saves u some time...

Took me 4 1/2 hours.... Trust me anybody can do it.. simply follow the instructions

It's very easy. Just use a short screwdriver to remove the screws. I used a 1/4" drive rachet, then a shallow socket (I don't remember what size, probably an 8mm), then attach a phillip screwdriver tip to the socket. No need to remove the wheels nor jack the car up.

You just need a short screw driver....or I used a small ratchet with a coupler and phillips bit. The side skirts are actually the easiest part of the install IMHO.

I don't think the install is very hard. If you're good at carefully following instructions, you should be fine. When I put my OEM kit on, I had no prior bodykit experience. Just a little experience with removing my front bumper.

It looks really really easy compared to installing the foglights I installed last weekend. The damn fuse box was a biaatch.
