the oem lipkit is discontinued. dealers don't sell them anymore and if they do, they have to be special ordered. those will retail for about $800-1000~.

you should try looking at the black market once in awhile, there are good offers at times. got my full lipkit for $600 used, but in great condition (didn't matter anyways since i was gonna get it repainted). but if that's still too much for you, you should just stick with the replica oem lipkit (which is fiberglass instead of polyurethane).

if you're going cheap, go here: http://www.raceappealkits.com/produc...roducts_id=409

only downsides to the replicas are that:
- fiberglass tends to crack easily compared to polyurethane (which is more flexible and durable)
- fitment is off by a bit
- you would have to drill your own holes into the lipkit (no clips or screws provided)

Its depends on quality. Of course, pu-kit is more flexible anyway. But PU has and some minuses too - repairing and temperature issues, its weight more than fiberglass. Fitments can be the same as oem. Similar situation with clips and srews. Many famous tuning vendors make kits, fenders, spoilers et.c. and its fits and wear pretty good. Results may vary...(C)

i don't mean to be a dick, but we all know that polyeurethane outweighs fiberglass in general. you get what you pay for, you go cheap, you pay the price in the end. you spend an extra few hundred or so, you can get the real lipkit and you won't have to worry driving around and having your front lip or side skirts cracked (that's for people who are lowered).

i check with the dealerships around my area, for the whole kit it was around 800+ like xtremex626 said.
- but tht price is just for the kit, they had to order it from other dealers, so there is also a shipping charge.

- and the kits that the dealers have are not in the same color.
I have a ssm and if i remember right, the front lip was available in smm, and the sides were available in black and green, and the rear was only in green. and they did not have a big quantity of them either.

so ur probably looking more then 1000 for the kit, shipping, painting.

I picked up my front and sides from the dealer 3 months ago and my rear from Wings West at the same time. The rear was only $190.00 + shipping. I'd call the dealer first. Hope this helps.

i believe www.acuraoemparts.com has the entire OEM kit. when i priced it out it came to about $950 painted and shipped to your door. of course you can get it used for much less.
