OEM Body Kit

Does anyone remember the guy who sold OEM body kits for our cars for under $400. I believe he is an Acura mechanic who has a shop somewhere in Georgia. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys.. just ordered my OEM body kit from Tim @ Ray Laks Acura. He's very nice to deal with. Price was $829 (included shipping, but not NY sales tax which tacked on another $75 (but I couldn't get away with that). Should be here in a few days.. will post pics.

Yeah!! I Got and installed the kit yesterday!! I waited for about two weeks form Hondacura, it finally came!!
The installation took me almost 3 hours and it's not difficial at all.
Some of you might notice that the kit didn't come with any instructions. Don't freak out, just ask dealer or in my ablum, I attached pdf files. Good Luck all of you!!

By the way, Damn that $75 NEW YORK tax!!

Cool man, I got my kit installed yesterday as well ... Makes the car look really nice.

Note for anyone interested in the OEM Body kit, the 99-01 kits are the ones that run under $400. The 02-03 kits are still going for about $830 from Ray Laks (cheapest I've found). Just so you know, the kits for all models 99-03 have been discontinued so finding the kits is getting harder and harder. From what I understand, SSM kits are completely sold out but Tim from Ray Laks has been repainting them for free to SSM if thats what you need.

After I heard it was discontinued I decided to hurry up and get the kit since I don't know if I'll be able to get it later.

Definitely Man!! The TL with the kit looks prefect!! $829 is the cheapest I ever get.
I also asked Tim about the discontinued of 99-03 bodykit, he said still carrying!! Don't worry guys who still want to get the kit. :P

Well, I've been doing research about the 99-01 TL body kit. I found there is a website called Autopartspeople which PISSED ME OFF(Don't go there!!) . They claimed that their kit is only 400, so without any thought, I ordered!! Guess What, they never contact me even I send them over 10 e-mails and I waited two months for nothing, and finally they cancelled my order for no reason!! :sqnteek: What the HELL?!

acurapartspeople.com finally emailed me back after a month and they said they will sell it for 399. shipping is 140 and if u want them to paint it to ur color its another 140. but their service sux so im not gonna get it from there.

acura of athens (Dewey, accessoryman@charter.net or whatever) - they only have the sideskirts no front or back lips.

currently i have one of my "people" calling every dealer from NY to VA. as soon as he is done, ill post what's up

I think the kit is supposed to come with painted color for 399??
Why did they charge you another 140??
Shipping should be only 15 bucks(as my order shown) if I remembered correct.
You paid almost 700??

Because the kits are now discontinued, they only have a select colors left. so if you wanted another color, they would have to paint it for you.
