IMO, save it for the spring. Who the hell is going to see your car and there are no meets in the winter. Also, if you put it on now, you might fvck it up, especially with the snow/dirt/salt/rocks etc...

Is this to say that you will take the kit off during the winter and put the original on. If so then wait.

What kind of deal did you get?

put the spoiler on and wait for the kit. But either way you look at it, you will have the kit on in the winter unless you take it off every winter which is a pain in the a$$.

I see no point in waiting to put it on unless you are going to take it off every winter. Which i've never heard any one do that before.

If your car's not lowered I wouldn't worry. I'd put it on. Just put a couple coats of wax on it.

my car is a 2000....i think without a spoiler it came out to around $480 including tax and everything.....I have another question cuz last time i posted it seemed like nobody wanted to answer me....The color of my car is Monterey Blue Pearl and i love and will even more after i thro the kit and spoiler on it....but theres something that i hate that i cant stop thinking about...its all the scratches and swirls that are soo visable in the paint, it kills me...i got it detailed and to tell you the truth i think it came back with even more scratches(soooo visable in the sunlight)....HELP!!!!

i called the dealer you ordered the kit from and they said that they couldn't lower the price as much as they did for u cuz silver is a popular color. He said that they give the low price to people like you because acura is discontinuing or already discontinued your color. They are trying to get rid of their stock of the color
