Email them via the form they have under the contact us section. Takes a little while but they will get back to you. Mention my name Dennis Furlong and ask for Tim. I told him several Acura-TL members would contact him.

I just took off my mud flaps in anticipation of recieving my body kit and I noticed that both front mud flaps left quite a few scratches in the fenders where the dirt and grim has built over the last couple years. The rears are fine and did not have any scrathes at all. Anybody, what is the best product to use in trying to remove the scratches on the front fenders? It looks like the scratches are deeper than the clearcoat!!!!!

Is there a way to put the mud flaps back on with the kits? I know they don't look 'clean', but they do an awesome job of keeping the car clean.

If you wanted SSM 99-01 Bodykit, I know a dealer that sells it for 629.00 + free shipping and + 3.95 handling charge. PM if you guys are intrested and I'll give you the phone number, the parts manager's name, and the website. Its still a good price but you guys could have saved over 80 bucks.

I have a '03 NBP TL-S and I ordered the Flamenco Black Kit. There is next to no difference in color at all (and if there is I can't tell). But my question is this, is there a way to get the older style front lip on a '03? I like it so much better...

Yes, I like their service too, I should be getting my Taffeta White kit by Tues, they took longer (3 weeks) for me because they didn't have the side skirts in stock and I only took ground shipping. Still very helpful people there, only problem I had with them is that they didn't know Premium White isn't a TL color and they didn't post my tracking # until I emailed them. All in all a good service and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a kit for the discont colors. If your color isn't located in their sales, or you need a 02-03 Kit, PM me, I know a dealer who can give you a better price.

I ordered my Lauguna Green on 7/25/03 and I just called today and it has not yet arrived at Bellevue Acura, looks like mine will take a while longer than yours did

I talked to him about it, he said he was going to try and cancel the Acura of Bellevue one or have them match the price. I don't know what happen tho.

My 02 TLs suffered from that as well. My scratches were down to the metal, in the end the dealer had the two front 1/4 panels stripped and re-painted.

I got a 2003 NBP, will these kits fit for the 2000 the 2003? How close is the color match? They got some other Black FBP or something.

Only the rear skirt and side skirts will fit , not the front lip. But for $ 415 including shipping it is worth it just for the two and then maybe you could sell the front lip.

You order a 03 TL WDP kit from www.acurapartspeople.com ?, they don't sell it as a kit, you have to buy each one seperately which is expensive? Your sig said you have a 99 TL, did you get a new 03? Either way, if you want a 03 Bodykit, PM me and I'll send you info on a dealer which can get you the kit for around $832 shipped. Which is way cheaper then what other Acura dealers are charging.

Yeah took me 4 hrs to install too. Everything was easy except the front lip, probably spend 2 hrs on that and finally removed the bumper to get at those two clips instead of cutting them out.

Yeah, here's the number: 1-800-273-1503. BUT make sure that you tell them that you know that they are on clearance, otherwise they will not quote you a good price. They started out at $500 for the rear skirt...

Stupid dealers.

Small question, I am aware of the fact that this post is in fact quite old, but do the following colors present any differences or are they very similar. Eternal Blue Pearl and Blue Pearl. I have a 2002 Acura TL (BP96). Was just wondering if I would be able to mount that whole kit on my car. Is there any way to fit the lip under the bumper or is it completely impossible. Thank you for your reply.

I recieved my kit a few days ago and I was putting it on today. Didn't have time to finish it, so my car is riding around with just the front and the right side skirt. haha, looks funny. Anyways, just wanted to see if anyone else who ordered it was missing any parts when it got here because mine was missing the mounting hardware for the rear spoiler. Its supposed to come with a bag of screws etc for the rear spoiler right? Thanks guys.

I was missing the entire bag of clips and such for the rear. I called Acura of Bellevue and they are sending me the rest. Can't wait to put it all on.
