Can't you buy an actual OEM kit from Acura of Escondido for like $600 off their ebay listing or something?

Don't forget though that with replica you'd still have to paint it yourself and the fit and finish won't be as good as OEM.
Trust me it's not worth it for couple of bills that you are going to be saving.

I was just gonna say... non-OEM and especially OEM ripoff kits or no-name kits are always crap in terms of fitment and precision.

Plus getting the paint to match will cost you a decent amount of $$ and likely won't be a great match, especially with pearl paints.

jus don't do it...you will regret saving that couple of hundred. If it has bad fitment and prep work... you will need to pay more to the bodyshop to get it fitted..

Everything they said up there...... don't bring those parts home to find out you have to saw off the edges to make em fit.... just not worth it

It would probably cost you more with painting and fitting. What's the point?

The OEM kit comes with all mounting hardware and a new set of exhaust tips to match the rear under spoiler.
