That's the cheapest I've seen so far also.
There was a guy on here talking smack about getting a groupbuy for the kits. I think he was saying $800, but not a peep from him since then?!?!

How re you going to get it installed after you get it? I was thinking about it too but I wasn't sure how to install it though. Anyone got some experience with the install ?

I think it was Mr. Hyde who wrote a great DIY instal for the OEM kit...check the DIY section on this site....that should help a lot. It will really save you some money (i think my acura dealer charges $220 for the kit install) if u can do it yourself.

lol yeah i haven't had the time, work's been busy lately, my kit is just laying around. I'm going to get my car on my friends lift at his shop in his off hours and put it on there, it should be a lot easier being able to get under the car....but i don't think it's worth giving acura all that money for something most people could do with just a few hours time.

Picked up mine for $750, guess it pays to know the guy in Parts. IMO, it adds a lot to the overall look of the car.....I'd recommend the WW Flush Mount spoiler also, it gives it a finished look.

831 shipped from www.honda curaworld.com, but I think it has gone up a bit since then. I got mine in May.


With absolutely no experience with TL's (or body kits, for that matter), it took me about 3 hours to finish the job. One hour of that was spent on trying to figure out how much force to apply to take off the stock side skirts, so not counting that, it only took about 2 hours. Once you're done and look at the car, you're gonna be smiling from ear to ear. I know I did.

If I recall correctly, I had to drill 7 or 9 holes under the front bumper tray. It's not hard at all, man. Very easy to do.
