aspec bodykit question

Aspec body kit on WDP...should I get it? will the WDP on the body kit clash with the WDP on the car?

Is 1200 installed at the dealer a good deal?

i think a lot of people have complained that the kit doesn't match the car's color...and that does make sense because the material is different on the bumper and on the kit (correct me if i am wrong though)...so the color is going to be slightly off but only people with a good eye can see it lol..

1200 seems about right...maybe u could try to get it a little lower...the kit sells for about 800 or so, so u're paying about 400 for the installation...maybe if u could get it to 1000 then that would be better...

You can buy the kit yourself and install it yourself.

Yes you have to drill holes in the rear bumper and the front wheel well. Its fairly easy and very hard to screw up since the holes at least in the rear bumper are factory marked...

I am also thinking of getting the bodykit. I have a NPB(Nighthawk Pearl Black). Will the color doesn't match problem be very noticable?

Is $1200 dealer installed?

Yea, just for the kit, installed at the dealer. But I'm thinking it would be 350 or so installed just to have the front kit. What do you all think about just having the front lip?

What's in a body?

Something to keep in mind. The longer your paint sits on your car (years) the more it will fade, even if only slightly. So the older your car gets, the more likelly it will be that the paint will differ slightly.

Also, paint lots differ slightly so no paint lot or batch is exactly the same shade, although for OEM paint the difference will not be noticable on a new car. The paint looks exactly the same on my car.



I paid $1000 installed for the lower kit only (no deck spoiler) installed. Since the kit goes through the parts department, they are the folks that you need to hammer (as opposed to the sales department).

Good luck!

sometimes the lowest price is not the best deal around. i would be more concerned about having it put on right then how much it cost. id rather pay 100 or 200 extra so you dont have any gaps when the do the install.
