Just a little something.

well, its not a special thing. But then, i am just happy that me and my cousin did it.

Fedex guy rang my bell around 9am in the morning! early!! And he even carry the 3 huge boxes to my door.
only after he left, then, i kinda ask myself why didn't i offer him a drink or tips...
Felt bad for him.

Anyway, its all new to us, therefore it took us about 3 hours + to get it all done.

Putting on the front lip is a PITA!! (Gotta cut and fit in)

Ended up my cousin putting on the front and side for me, and i did only the sides.
And i paid him $70 for labor.
$860 for the kit. $70 for labor.

Hmm, yeah, the lip looks like WDP or at least a whiter white than PWP. Probably the lighting in the garage. Looks good dude!

you are crazy to do it at school. loL!! and yeaaa, i had to take off the bumper as well. And for the rear too.
Acura gave me a price $150 to get it install for me. And i somehow feel that, they are charging it too low. = = . There's just so much work to do!
its really too hot to work it out there in the sun. (heard that the mountain in my area's on fire again. Arcadia)

The colour does look a bit off, but I'm sure its less noticable in a brighter environment.

I actually like the OEM 06+ bumper better than the 06+ lipkit... but to each his own

Looks good though Wong.

Yeaa. not sure about 05. but my 06, i had to take off the whole front bumper and rear bumper to get it on. It has the double sided tape on the kit itself, ohh! get a "Drill machine" !?!? yeaa, for mine, i had to drill one on the front and rear. (but i used a screw driver tho, by FORCE!!)
Other's sort of like, clip on. Be careful with it tho!! GL!!

Should be okay for it to off a little.
but the picture really makes it so obvious.

Under the sun, its okay tho.

Ebay.
Which seller/dealer did you buy the kit from? All I see are 2 dealerships selling them and they are both $950 shipped. Did you get an additional deal or something?

I didn't even notice until you said something.

That would bother the heck out of me though. To each his own though. It really is only about a $100 more if you were to order it from the dealer yea?
