hmmm, it's not listed on the Price page. I'm surprised Snook doesn't sell them. You should probably shoot a quick e-mail to Snook and ask him. If he really doesn't sell them, they you can probably go here: http://www.hondaacuraparts.com/acura...%20Accessories

WoW, that's cheap. I went to the Acura dealer and they quoted a price of $2500, painted and installed.

($2500 CDN = $1700 USD)

where do you guys find such a good deal at?
the wholesale sounds good, know of any places in Canada?

Question

So the factory kit comes painted and installed for around $1000?? And the west-wings kit comes $800, but then I have to find some place to paint and install it? That would be well above the $1000 mark wouldnt it?

This coming from the same d!ldo that placed a faux wood steering wheel cover on his steering wheel and put tacky A C U R A letters on his cd tray. What do you know about classy? oh yeah, the steering wheel cover was one that he found! he didnt even buy it.

But getting back to the kits. you can get the factory one for $800 painted and install it yourself. It shouldnt be that hard. Worst case scenerio is that you go to a local import shop and have them install it for you. It should still be under $1000. If they charge you over $150 for the install dont do it.

Open your drivers side door and look at the door trim for a sticker that has your paint code.

Got mine for $816 shipped and installed it myself. Lot's of plastic fasteners and screws. It'll be alot easier if you can get a tool to take out those plastic fasteners correctly. You will need an extremely short stubby philips screw driver or jack up your car and take the wheel off. If you can't get access to a hoist and only have one jack, be prepared to run back and forth taking wheels off. (Personal Experience)
