A local Acura dealer quoted me the OEM body kit for only 1200US, is it a gd deal?

and

i found a set on Ebay, only the front is Anthracite but it's black and need to be repainted in Anthracite if I get them, it's only 600 dollars + shipping however


so which one i should go? buy it at acura or on ebay?

 

1200US for a new one is def not a good deal....

 

can't you buy them painted online for like $800?....brb

acuraoemparts.com - $930

 

yea i have looked at that site, dealry acura in FL

but shipping and customs are killing me since i am living in canada

shipping would be over 100 to canada and custom duty tax is around 20-25% of 900 dollars, so that would be the same too~

i ordered some tires from tirerack for 304 and they charged me like 120 tax!!!

 

if i do the repaint, will it look gd coz you will have to paint it over????

if things don't screw up then i can take the ebay one for less

 

well, if you take it to a good autobody shop, they'll sand it down, or do something and repaint it the color of your choice.....it will match about 98% of the rest of the car.....not a big deal.....why, did you find a cheap one on ebay??

 

yes
but only the front lip is in Anthracite, the rest are black

for half of the price

however repaint job is another story, will cost you some money as well~

 

I paid premium for mine when I bought the car new from the dealer. $1200 dealer installed is definitely not a bad deal (not good...but it's fair).

 

the body shop called me and he said he can repaint and install for free

so i paid 600 for the body kit and 125 for an unpainted spoiler

gd deal eh? =)

 

1200 sounds a bit steep to me i would try to find a cheaper set

 

1200 from an acura dealer is not expensive at all seriously, and in canada it's not easy to find~

but now i bought one at 600US on Ebay and get the job done free

so why not? hehe

 

congrats dude enjoy ur new pimp ride!..


so how'd u get a free paint and install?

 

you can buy them from this site alot cheaper than that

 

 

no doubt

but shipping them into CANADA is another story, while you enjoy a tax-free sale, I will have to pay about 30% extra + shipping, which makes it a lot more expensive.

why not buy at a dealer if the price is about the same, and u can pick them up right away. no shipping hassels and waiting.

but now i got them for a gd deal, painted and installed free, why not?

 

my car had an accident 3 weeks ago and it's at a body shop now

they only carry wing west kits but i prefer the OEM

the owner of the body shop tried to get me a set of OEM body kit but it's too expensive, and he asked me to find one myself so he will do the paiting and install free~

he claims insurance company for 7500 dollars and he should do that for me FREE!!!! LOL


the body shop is specialized in honda and acura, they also fix a lot of mercedes and i saw some WRX STi as well, they use all OEM parts too

my car is ready and i will pick it up tmr
