That looks real good. I have a NBP/ebony on the way and have been thinking about the OEM kit. So you installed it yourself? What would be a good price for me to shoot for on my TSX that hasn't arrived yet to have the OEM(-the rear spoiler) installed? I'm paying $27500 OTD as it is for mine (auto/no nav/cargo net/trunk tray/6% tax).

Thanks,

Scott

Did you have any problems with customs?!? How did you get it shipped?

Thanks

hey Scott...

here in canada, i saw on the price list, the dealer wanted 2000
or 2200 + 14.5% tax for the kit (installed)

that's CDN money...
the price from hondacuraworld is 915(usd) shipped..
and after i paid duty it paid about 1300 so i got a good deal..
so i would suggest u do that same.. the install it not hard
but it's good to have a friend or two to help ya

also, where would the fun be if they alreayd installed it for u?

I live close to the boarder (like 90% of the canadians)
and i have an account at a shipping depot in WA state
so i had the kit shipped there and then brought it back..
i declared it... and i got taxed.. but still saved a bunch...

Neo,

Hot looking ride. I bet you are glad you didn't sell me your foggies and kit as you advertised in the black market section.

Can you post pics of the car before and after. I have seen lots of pics of the TSX with and without kit, but I wanted to do a side by side (above and below rather) so that I can decide if its worth the $1000 for my commuter car.

thanks

yeha i guess
but i don't like that oem spoiler all the much
something smaller is nice... like that m3 lip spoiler
but i think it's kinda weird putting on a m3 spoiler for tsx imo
i used to think ti's cool but not anymore...

i like the phase lip but i don't got the bling
haha

Looks good. My body kit arrives (also ordered from hondaacuraworld) tomorrow for my NBP, so I'll give reports on the installation. The instructions look really straightforward and easy. Couple questions on the install:

All that masking tape talk - do they just want you to strip back half of the adhesive and pre-stick it just so it is in one place as you bolt it on? Then I assume you are just using the manmade masking tabs to finalize the adhesive?

Also - did you have to jack up your car or anything, or where you able to do the whole thing with the car on the ground?

NeoChaser, seems like hondaacuraworld.com site is down. Can you please help with a toll free number? I would like to order the factory aero kit less rear spoiler.

Can someone confirm that the premium white (US) color is exactly the same as what we have in Canada (pearl white). Thanks.

The URL is:

http://www.hondacuraworld.com

Only one a between honda and acura.

I will also agree that they have QUICK email communication, emailed me tracking info, and were all-around pleasant to work with. I still haven't actually seen my kit yet, but I have no worries that it won't be exactly what I ordered.

their email system is very efficient
