I just did it

I just bought today a '05 anthracite auto/navi with black interior, and body kit (including trunk lid) for 35.2K. Is that good?.Wondering where can I get the ASPEC wheels apart from ebay at a cheap price. I just took the car on a 40-mile trip and it was great I love the car and the navi is superb.

Congrats, I have just passed the dealer breakin period (600 miles) and will take it easy until 1000 or so. Get the suspension, its worth it!

where can I get the suspension? WHen I asked the dealer if they could sell the wheel by itself they say that the whole ASPEC package came together and can't be sold individually.
By the way I live in Miami and bought the car from miami acura.

I thin kits better to go with the ron jon kit - basically same price. Looks much better, unique, and aggressive. Depends if its your taste or not.

Sorry, but you cannot advertise for sale items anywhere except the Black Market Forum.

If you want, you can post your sale item there, and you could also send locotl a PM if you want to.

today I was supposed to get my body kit done, but the dealer says that "they need a new part to finish the job"??. Any way they say it won't be ready until tomorrow afternoon. I guess I just have the loaner (TSX) to drive around. I'll see what happens....

Umm...to answer your question.....HE11 YES!!!!

$2200??? That's insane!! I just bought my body kit off Ebay for $800 and after seeing in person (just a bunch of plastic) I think $800 is a lot!! I mean think about it....It's PLASTIC!! The whole thing probably costs $30 to produce!!

Anyway, my dealer is charging me approx. $280 to install. So I'm paying $1080 to put a bunch of plastic on my car. Kinda crazy if you ask me...

So why am I doing it? Because it looks GREAT!!!! lol

EMF213:

Does the kit you bought of Ebay come painted and is it a good color match?

Also, can a competent DIYer install the kit themselves?
