Question Body Kit Price..good deal or No??

I'm looking to start adding stuff to my TL, starting with body kit. Here are the prices I got:

OEM Front Lip= $319.20 FINAL PRICE
OEM Side Skirts= $256.00 (not in satin silver, so I have to paint them)
Wings West Rear Bumper= 269.00 (Black Poly-Urethane)Have to paint satin-silver

Total=$844.20

Plus painting the skirts and rear bumper...anyone know around how much I should pay to paint these 3 pieces. The guy at acura told me around $150 for skirts, but he was just guessing.

Thanks!

Any members in S.F?

You can get the sideskirts cheaper on ebay. For good paint be prepared to pay $150-200 per lip.

Ehhh, some of the parts unpainted... It isn't that great of a deal. I got quoted about the same as you, except all mine were going to be painted and local pickup. (from Acura dealer). Shop around some more. Try Ray Lakes Acura, go to your local Acura, etc.

I found that one..but I'm looking for a satin silver...and was told if I can't find that color, get a lighter color, like white, because it's easier to re-paint. Emerald Green is anything but that. Also, thats for 99-01, mines an 03, are they all the same? Only the front underbody changes?

I've called diff. dealers, and they all tell me that the side skirts are no longer available in satin-silver, so i have to get them diff. color. I called Ray's today and they told me that they would paint them for an extra $300.00, plus $268 for the skirts.

I guess they have raised there prices cuz I did a search and people say they got theirs from Rays for under $900.00 Called today and told me that for whole kit, painted it would cost me around $1200, and if I just want the front and side skirts it would cost me 902.60 What gives? other members have a special discount I don't know about?

yup, i paid $11XX (including side skirts repainted) back in Sept/Oct 06 time frame for my SSM kit from Ray Laks. I was told prices went up cuz of gas prices (not sure how they relate but they did). I was also told theres only around 20 new SSM front and rear lips left at the honda warehouse (back in Sept/Oct).

so you're saying you got an SSM kit for 900 shipped from Ray Laks? I find that hard to believe.

try barancoacuraparts.com. they have low prices and i think lower cost than Ray Laks. I did my research and called about 15+ dealers and finally ordered my SSM front and back from them. now all i have to do is find the sides. any help (prefer not to repaint).
