OEM Lip kit side skirts discontinued

I know the title says it all. It might be old news for some but I just found this out today while at work. I had my parts manager look it up to show me how many pieces were left in the US and she couldn't get any to show up. So I guess this means that you can no longer buy a complete oem kit unless your local dealer still has a few pieces left in stock.
Just figured I'd get the word out there to the other new guys or anyone else in the market for a new lip kit.

we need a thread of "hot topics" which covers all this information so people who don't search can find important information easily...

i'd make one but it wouldn't do anybody any good.

Which is why I got mine when I did even though I didn't really want it at the time. I figured it would be one of my last chances to get it new from a dealer in my color. Got the 02-03 front and sides new in NGM for $575 shipped. It's growing on me.

With the right wheels, the right stance, and the right suspension and performance parts, you don't need a silly plastic lip kit. Don't buy into the hype if you don't really want it.

I'm sure if you have OEM skirts with the car, and you have it covered under insurance and you crash your car, the body shop can get them. So in saying this, you might want to try ordering it through them if you can't find them anywhere.

When I forced the insurance to get me an OEM lip (saying that I had one, when I didn't), they didn't want to cover it because its considered an "accessory" even if it is an OEM part. But I eventually got them to give in.

Man your dealer lied! I went to Acura Yesterday and they can still get them. It may just be the Acura where i live maybe not in your guys area, I was going to order one and get it installed but im waiting to see how my car is going to be dropped first.

I can still get them in Northern NV, but the dealer here is only 4 months old and probably still gets its parts from Niello Acura in Sacramento........but I can get them....they say all but the green and the metallic red are available for 01 to 03. WDP is the "most available" color, lucky for me !!!!

Yikes!
But if you can, on a nice day, do the install yourself. It's not difficult, but it's something that you'll feel accomplished doing and you'll physically see the results of your work.
