can someone please tell me where i can buy an oem body kit for an 03 tl-s. thanks in advance

 

acura dealership
sarona, race appeal, ebay
craigslist, black market

 

Does anybody know how much does it cost at the dealer?

 

i'm pretty sure they're discontinued. i doubt any dealers would still have any

 

Certain dealers have them. But not all colors are still available. You would have to call and inquiry. I know for example: only the front and the rear is available for SSM. PM Tim, one of the vendors, OEMAcuraPartsTim. He might be able to help you out.

 

We can do them for 939.00 shipped.....I should be able to get most colors

 

^wow..that's a hell of a lot cheaper than I paid at the stealership.. and I have to paint mine!


good thing I'm painting my entire car :-/

 

I got mine a year ago from these guys, http://dynamic-autodesigns.com, they were by far the cheapest when I was looking, although not sure if they still carry it, i paid less than $400 and the kit is holding up prefectly.

 

s-e-a-r-c-h you turd! in the nicest way possible....

 

those are fiberglass replicas...

 

How's the fitment on these frp replicas?

 

^^^ its not about fitment.. Its the shitty strength of fiberglass.. Stick with oem.. Or ployeurothane replicas

 

^ who makes a polyurethane replica?

 

The whole point of buying fiberglass instead is because it's A LOT DAMN CHEAPER, obviously it is not the most ideal option but I have not had any issues with my kit, unless you drive like a reckless tool it should hold up fine...the fiberglass from these guys was actually pretty good, very fexible

Oh as far as fitment, it was as expected, a little bit of work but done right, it looks just as good as the original.

 

^ where did you get your kit from?

i always thought that the fiberglass wasnt the problem in fiberglass kits. it was the paint that couldnt handle the amount of flex that fiberglass gives. stiffer ABS plastic kits will not have those excessive paint cracking issues due to less flexing.

 

Did the whole kit need work? What kind of work was needed? Was it mainly sideskirts, rear lip? I'm asking cuz I'm thinking of going this option since the oem lip kit will cost me around $1300 from the dealership.

 

look on the black market here..

 

So the fiberglass material cracks easier than the oem abs plastic? Does it look any different when you put the paint on? Cuz this could really be the easier way for my broke ass.

 

^aznccnsh^ Looking at the picture of you and your driveway; looks like you are going to have some trouble with your front.

 

the oem is polyeurethane, not oem abs plastic. the replicas are fiberglass and yes, they crack easier. i was gonna go this route until i found a pretty good deal in the black market (got all front, side, and rear at one time!)

fiberglass replicas aren't that bad.. the fitment is a bit off and you'll have to do some of your own drilling in order for it to fit snug and perfect (according to some people who have them). as for paint, it'll look the same no matter what lol.

get the lipkit & roll with me in the sgv
