complete lip kit

I have an Acura 2000 TL.

When it comes to a complete lip kit, which is the best way to go? When it comes to pricing and quality. Do some come painted already?

Let me know what you think will be the best way to go and who to buy from and get the most bang for the buck

Thanks

You can get the factory kit. It comes prepainted. Contact one of the Acura vendors we have on this forum.

There's really only a few styles of kits to choose from for our cars.

OEM
From factory comes pre painted, ABS, great fitment, but expensive (but worth it!).......OR...you could go get a replica made of fiberglass, cheap, but shitty fitment for the most part and unpainted.

Wings West
Unpainted, urethane, good fitment, hangs the lowest out of all the kits, not bad IMO, but people have their opinions on the "fins" haha

Then there's some garbage looking ones like Black Widow style and somethign else that Sarona has on their site, you can check it out.

There's rare pieces out there from Japan as well I believe, forgot the manufacturers name though maybe some of the others can chime in. And no, RJ did not make kit for our gen.

Here is a link to a site that makes a FG oem kit for like $350 to your door unpainted.

http://www.raceappealkits.com/index....6786940c5d37da

You can get away with it if your car isn't slammed... but if you are going to slam your car then you will have to get a real poly front lip because the FG will break fairly easily if you even touch something with it... it doesn't flex just cracks... The front lip should be the only poly lip that you need since that is where you would damage if you are going to hit something... the sides and rear don't get the beating that a front does so FG is ok for them

OP DO NOT do this. you have a 2000 and this kit comes with 02-03 front lip, and looks like garbage when put on a 99-01

very hard, because the fitment of these FG kits are very poor. Just stick to OEM and you will save yourself from a lot of pain and quite possibly money in the end for getting a shop to fit it on properly for you.

Did you have to do any custom work to make it fit or fits just like oem?
