is it hard to install the aspec Kit??????

What is the est cost of having the dealer do the complete install of the body kit? From the write ups bolts, screws, and tape with templates sound fun to play with but just do not have the time........

It will take you about 4 hours tops for the install if you have never done it before, It is very simple. The instructions are on-line at hondaacuraworld.com. Every hole and bracket fits perfectly, there is no fussing or trimming its completely foolproof. When your done you wont believe how easy it was compared to how much the stealer wants to charge. The most difficult thing about the whole process is actually putting the car up on jack stands

It took me about 2 1/2 hrs with a guy that I work with who does body work for a living. We were drinking beer the whole time which could have slowed the process. He said it was the easiest thing he has EVER done. I probably would have been lost if I tried to do it myself...plan on a whole afternoon, but its pretty easy to figure out...you use a lot of the screws that are already in the factory panels too.....just gotta use the provided templates to drill feeler holes and stuff. If you have ANY friends that are mechanically inclined....just throw them like 50 bucks to do it...i paid my guy 25 for helping me. who doesn't have a couple hrs to work on their car? hah jk I know what its like, I'm in school full time, and work 50 hrs a week. only free day I have is Sunday.
