OEM.-Dealership. -goodluck.

Look in the Black Market, Craigslist, etc for a true OEM kit. If you want to go the cheaper oem replica route, well they are cheaper and not as good quality wise, they are made of fiberglass which isn;t as forgiving as the stuff Honda uses.

But for the replica kits, try somewhere like raceappealkits.com.

So can you still buy new color matched oem body kits from the dealership? I figured they weren't in production anymore.

normally they over produce them when the car is made, then just store them for the years to come, then if it does indeed prove to be popular, they will make a separate run of them


and iirc the sides and rears are the same as the 02-03 TL, and those are a bit more common, biggest issue is finding that front lip though...




edit: as far as finding at the dealer still, one might still have one in the back room somewhere (might be wrong color, but still be new though )

Oh, another question for you guys. This has nothing to do with an OEM body kit but I don't want to start another thread.....I am putting in new HID lights in my TL and I need to take apart the lamp assembly/cover. Both sides have what looks to be a torx screw holding the assembly together. I tried my local hardware store but they didn't seem to have the right one. Anyone know where I can get one of these wrenches?

Thanks,

Neil

try going to a larger hardware store chain like Home Depot or Lowes. they should definitely have the right torx bit. though i do not know what size you need.

where did you find a kit?

craftsmen and sears would be your best bet though

but most people seem to just cut a slot in the head with a dremal, and just use a flathead screw driver then...

^ what you found was probably an OEM replica, which are fiberglass. they are unpainted also. so by the time you get it painted its more like $300+. you can get a real OEM kit off www.acuraoemparts.com already painted for $300 front, $240 sides, and $330 rear + shipping.
