Cheapest place to buy body kits in NYC or Philly
Does anyone know where I can get Acura Body kits installed cheaper than the dealer in NYC or Philly?
I found a place in PA at A&H Motors and its only $800-not including install.

No, but you do have to take off the front lip piece that attaches to the bottom of the bumper. If you look at the bottom of the bumper, there is a notch that runs all the way around. There are actually two pieces to the bumper. The bottom piece comes off and is replaced by the underbody kit. Same for the rear bumper. The sides completely replace the current side pieces.
If you can follow directions it's not that bad. Give yourself a day to do it. I would also wait till it warms up. The plastic clips that hold everything in are a little brittle and Acura will rape you on the cost if you need to buy a few of them.
Good luck.

The front lip is hard to get off - you have to take off the bumper cover, or do like I did and just cut the bisnatch off. 
The rear stays, the kit goes on over it. The sides are easy once you understand how to do them, look in the instructions forum for my post.

Sorry to disagree with you but, DO NOT TAKE OFF THE FRONT BUMPER. You just need to remove the lower piece of the bumper. It's held together with several of those plastic screw-in clips.
