I just picked up a 09 Tsx In Vortex Blue , and wanted to throw the oem kit on it, but I was told it would be 1800$ while a 2010 and above kit is 1450... What is the difference ,and are there any other cheaper options when it comes to the body kit?? I really would like to stick with oem for fitment issues , but I just can believe the kit is that much, My 04 TL kit was like 1k back in 05... Anyone have place where I can pick a kit up for 12 1300? Thanks!!!!

You won't. Your best bet is trying some online acura dealers, such as curry acura.

I contacted Curry since I saw there 1450 special, they were the ones who quoted me 1800. Since this kit is almost discontinued I would think it would be on clearance at every dealership , apparently not ..

zup2sky

$1450 is pretty good actually. When I placed an order from them, they quoted me $1580.

Acura hardly have any clearance. Ask Curry and if they can knock another $50 off.

The 1450 is for the 2010 and up kit, the 2009 kit was 1800.... I'm checking with a friend of mines Father who works at Honda in Marysville at the Honda Plant... No way in hell am I dropping 1800 on a kit...

I got my front for 500, rear for 450 and deck lip for 60.

That seems like a good deal, no skirts?

Not yet. in the future I will buy them but the car looks great without them. Check out son of acura in atlanta. shipping was only $15 for my rear bumper

acnup00tl

Great!!! I will check them out, how long ago did you buy the front and rear?

Thanks!!

Front about 6 months ago and the rear in july.

Do you have a pic of what your car looks like w/o the skirts? I'm just curious how that would look .

PyroDave

curry or oemacuraparts would likely have the cheapest prices, i'm nearby curry if you need someone to swing by for whatever(i have a 13 Vortex Blue)

the reason for the price difference is the front bumper. for the 09-10 models, it is a fully new bumper. the 11-13 models is just small splitters which you can barely see

JayJayPG

Price seems reasonable considering the front and rear are whole bumper replacements instead of bolt-on lips. I remember I paid $349 shipped for an entire OEM body kit for my 98 GS-R from Radley Acura way back in 2001 when they were clearing them out That was a steal. I'm sure there is a HUGE profit margin on these OEM body kits though...

acnup00tl

I didn't realize it was a whole front bumper and rear bumper, thought they were just lips added to the existing bumper (Pyrodave) set me straight on that... Had no clue!!! I'm waiting to hear back from my buddy at the body shop .and a friend of mine's Father.. The prices should be dirt cheap since Honda is 45 mins away

Chicosito

Here's mine with no skirts

acnup00tl

Wow!!!

That really looks good!! Are those 19s?

Chicosito

Thanks! They are 19'' TSW vortex wheels. They look amazing in person and give an oem look. I get a lot of audi, bmw people checking out my car and giving me compliments.

Originally I had some ame shallen vip wheels that I had, but would have to drop the car and do some camber adjustments.

acnup00tl

So I take it the Tsx isnt dropped now? I cant tell with the 19s on it if its dropped or not..

acnup00tl

I just got a deal on a kit 1450 free shipping, if anyone wants the info on where to buy it let me know.

suprised nobody said that 09 and 10 are the same bumpers no difference.

acnup00tl

I thought the 09 was a whole new bumper , and the 10 just used the lower lip?

MC MiYoung3269

^ It's 09-10 and 11-14

odus

^what he said the only other lips for the 09-10 are the egay lip that looks retarded on our cars in the center it bows up sorta. or the one i want really bad the mugen half lip witch shipped to the usa is as much if not more than the aero bumper.

opboarding

I keep waiting for someone to back into my front bumper so they can buy me the aero front. The same way I got my aero rear.

Lewal

Hey, can you send me the details? I know others have said the front and back aero replace the bumpers, so does that mean I can just pop off the old bumpers and install the news ones and I'm good?

Thanks in advance.
