How much did you pay for bodykit install?
I just called Sussman Acura and they want over $500 just to install the body kit!!! They tried to tell me it takes 6 hours!! This seems like out and out thievery!
They also said the labor estimates are direct from Acura (yeah right) and that the side skirts take an hour and a half each....HAHAHAHA!!!
Before I start calling other dealers, I wanted to know what the average install price really is. My kit is supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

if you are so sure about how long it takes, why not do it yourself?
i did mine on a saturday morning, and took me about 2-4 hours. it's very simple to do if you can read

Also, I did make a mistake...Sussman previously quoted 3 hrs for the suspension, not 2. My point still stands however....6 hours for the bodykit is insane. Paricularly if they're telling be that the side skirts take an hour and a half each!!!

The first dealer is probably quoting what Acura says it will take (all work has an alotted time from the manufacturer). This time is ALWAYS longer than the actual time it takes to do the work, maybe to allow for issues, slow-witted people, something. Per Acura, a full ASPEC install takes 9 hours, but a good tech can do it in less than 8.
