$399 for new TL OEM bodykit? Typo, scam?
http://acurapartspeople.com/SearchPr...dy+Spoiler+Set
Anyone buy from them before? They say they are selling the WHOLE kit for $399.00 for the 99-01 models. And they are NEW kits from Acura.
Seems to good to be true so I wanted to get the low down from anyone who might have seen this to see if they are lagit or not.
thanks!

They have no phone number listed so I emailed them for more detials. For some reason the Silver kit is not listed. I wonder if this is some kind of inventory blow out on kits that aren't selling or something. Silver seems to be a popular color with the TL so maybe that's why it's not on there because it sells better or something. Will let you know if they emial back.

A while back I remember hearing that the 99-01 kits were being discontinued and Acura was blowing them out. Sounds like it's true based on those prices.

I just heard back from them and they said that is what the deal is. They are not being produced anymore so they are blowing them out. They are however still making the Satin Silver since it's a big seller still so it will remail and at regular price. Just my luck. 
At that price though i might get one and have it painted. Anyone know what it might cost to have a kit painted?

I have Night hawk black body and Flamenco black body kits, You can't tell any difference. You can get it from your dealer at $347.00 front, rear and 2 sides.

Are you saying this is the price at ALL of the Acura dealers because of the blow out talked about in this thread

From there email it's a true deal. They are blowing the kits out. They are a large company and have a good rep according to several people I have emailed who have ordered from them

I know right, they told me in there email that the SSM kits aren't on Acura's discontinued list so that's why they aren't being discounted like the other kits.

I might be able to work a deal with them on the SSM kit. Working on it now. It won't be like $399 but at least a little better then their retail. Let me know if you have a SSM one and want in on the deal if I can work it out.

Well I got a call from them today, sounded like he said Acura of Bellevue. He wanted to make sure my car color was Taffeta White and not Premium White. Then he told me he didn't have the side skirts in stock but he ordered them for me and they should arrive Tues and then he would ship the whole thing out.

I know this was mentioned already but i wanted to make sure it was okay - i have a 2002 NBP if i ordered the kit in Black Pearl , it would be hard to tell the diffrence and to double check the front lip would be the only piece that did not fit?

Just picked up a kit for my mom's 99 Taffeta White. He called today saying that they had the front and sides, but the back were out of stock...so i had to replace the rear with heather mist and get it repainted. $415 plus painting rear piece...not bad at all.

I worked out some other pricing with them on other TL kits in other colors. I don't want to take away anything from this site so please PM me if your interested in the info. I don't want to post anything because I know they sell the kits here as well and I encourage people to support the site when they can.
thanks
