Factory Body Kit install

Planning on ordering a Factory body kit and I was wondering if it was easy to install it yourself or get it done by a shop. Anyone in the NYC area know of a good place + the pricing? I read the DIY faq directions but has anyone tried it? How was your experience?

btw, anyone know where I can get it cheaper than this site shipped?

Thanks a lot.

You might have a hard time pulling out the sideskirt but thats about it.
Do it youself. You'll feeel much better after you're done.

So you did it yourself? What do you mean pulling out the sideskirts?

Where did you order your body kit from and for how much $$?

It was easy, I bought the kit here, installed it with a friend and the WingsWest lip spoiler in under 4 hours. Half of that time was just the spoiler.

Check the FAQ's, I wrote the instructions myself.

I have to agree the install is pretty simple. As was mentioned before, the side skirts are a b*tch to remove but other than that, it's pretty easy. Don't waste $$ having it done by a shop.

Yes i did it myself. I'm not very good at this stuff either. but i managed to do it in less than 4 hours. takes me more than one hour just to get the sideskirt off.

I got my kit off of h-o-n-d-a-c-u-r-a-w-o-r-l-d.com (without the dashes) for 831 shipped.
