Why to get a 2002 TL-S OEM body kit?

Hi guys, I accidently ran over something (a bunch of debris) on the road last Thursday evening, and got some damage on my 2002 TL-S with Navi, including
  • Tire: replaced
  • Rim: need to replace, can last a while if I don't drive that much
  • Front bumper & splash shield: parts ordered
  • OEM body kit: I couldn't find it at any Acura dealer. Where can I find them? I only need the front piece and the right-side piece. However I guess I have to order a whole set. Do you guys know how much it costs? I attached 2 pics, one for the front piece, and the other one for the right-side piece.
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

I usually ordered from oemacuraparts.com and the factory lip kit is discontinued and is hard to come by

Thanks. I'm in Washington, DC area. Probably the shipping cost kills the deal.

6 hour's drive... Just curious: there is a higher chance that I get one used but in other colors, how much does it cost to paint it to black? Maybe I can save some money if I do the paint together with the front bumper.

Guys, I searched online and found this website. They have the OEM body kit for $260. It sounds too good to be true. Is the website legit? They don't even have a phone number listed.

That is NOT OEM. Just OEM style, that kit is made of fiberglass which can crack easily that's why it's so cheap.

That makes sense. The OEM body kit cannot be at that price.

Any suggestions how to get one set, even used ones are fine. The color of my car is black pearl. I am in the DC metro area, and will move to Edison, NJ area in June.

Thanks guys.

For the front lip 99-01 does not fit 02-03.
The sideskirts and rear lip fit 99-03.

Hi guys, I find a right side skirt on ebay for 02 tl-s. Is it a fair price?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2002-ACURA-TL-3-2-TYPE-S-RIGHT-SIDE-SKIRT-ROCKER-MOLDING-ONLY-/271166437190?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item3f22c77746
My plan is to replace the right side skirt, but I may have to give up the front lip.

Hey, yeah....front oem lips are tuff to find, consider an aftermarket lip. As with the rhs skirt, if that's all ya need....then that's not that bad of a price, imo. Most times, if ya find a used lip kit, the seller won't let just one piece go. A small price to pay for getting everything back to normal !

Try checking out the "Black Market" sub-forum.
The originals are difficult to find, ya may wanna consider an aftermarket replica kit. Ya could save some time and money.
