Hey guys,

I'm too lazy and not apt enough to take things apart and then put them back together- basically I'm mechanically impaired. I have an 05 TL and I'm thinking about doing the following mods and have received install quotes from the local Acura dealer on the following:

(1) A-Spec underbody spoiler kit ($799 from Tim) installed for $285.00

(2) TL-S lamp install for $95 but advisor said he could cut that in half if I do everything together.

(3) Cut and program a 07 s/b key for $50

What do you guys think?

 

I'd have them do it. My dealer Pohanka wanted $700 to install bodykit, I paid $150 to a local guy, he did a great job. $50 is what I paid to have my key cut, when it was set up with 10-15 others at the same time. $50 for the tail swap ok.

Drop it off to them, pick it up later finished. Plus a warranty for the install.

 

thanks for your opinion

 

Prices seem somewhat decent, but definitely do the A-Spec install with the Type-S tail swap. You need to remove the rear bumper to install them so you might as well kill two birds.

The advantage of the Acura dealer is that they will warrant their work. Make sure you read up on the install DIY for the body kit (make note of the extra double sided tape): DIY: A-Spec Bodykit Installation 3G Garage #E-001

 

Damn drive down to naples and i will do everything for $200, but those prices seem pretty fair.

 

good point- i'll make sure to do both at the same time since the rear bumper will be off. thanks.

 

DID you say that an Acura dealer wanted $700 to install JUST the A-Spec Body kit

 

I agree the price is right on.

 

That was what they quoted for a 6 hour job, per the book. Same as doing the Aspec suspension. Pohanka Acura.

 

yea, go for it

 

thanks guys, appreciate it.

 

pretty decent price from a dealer...do it and get Acura warranty if anything screws up...good luck

 

ggesq quoted $285 ? $700 I would tell them to suck my !!! I am having my A-Spec body kit being put on friday. When I asked how much to install at Libertyville Acura, ILLINOIS, they said it depends on how long it takes? I will SHIT myself if they pull that on me! I won't pay a cent over $350

 

I got my A-spec body kit put on by them and they charged me $300. I tired to find a cheaper place but ever Acura dealer I called, they were charging alot more than $300. So I just went there and got it installed.Talk to Shelly, she is the one that gave me the quote, she is super cool.

 

THA


THANKYOU SIR Shelley Berg. She the one who called me tuesday to let me know the paint work is on schedule and will be done today. I explained the parts I ordered monday should be in anytime. THATS what the parts manager told me. When I asked the parts manager how much to install (estimate) he wouldn't tell me. He said that depends on service and how long it takes.

What I don't understand is, they should have a set price to install! Not charging per hour x how many hours. Maybe the people putting it on are a bunch of young slackers, or somebody with the runs, maybe somebody with the flu. You get what I mean. When you get an oil change, its a set price, not- oh the guy that changed your oil was sick and it took him a long time, the oil change will be $195.

Thanks for the reply, now I have something to take to Shelly Berg

 

That's a great price for the kit - Island Acura in Wantagh wanted $500+ to install the kit...the guy said "uhh it'll take 5 hours at $100 per hour, so that's $500, plus maybe a few things that may come up"
