Talking

As for the "cheaper than the dealer" comment.

I AM THE DEALER.

Hehe, but that's ok, I'm here to help if I can.

The underbody kit, which includes front under spoiler, rear under spoiler and side under spoilers are installed in our shop for 3 hours. Just out of curiosity, what type of quotes have y'all gotten?

3hrs x 85hr $255

If you're handy, you'll save a bunch of money. If you're not, you'll be buying another kit:o

I'll have to check that out. We just installed a A-Spec on a RSX today.

I just remembered that we do have to perform an alignment after installation. I heard the shop foreman fretting about not having the 04 RSX, TSX, and TL in the system. The Hunter technician should be coming by in the next couple of days for the software update.

I'm sorry I meant does it require a "kit" or just an alignment.

I had my 04 TL aligned by a Hunter machine; the tech just printed out the 04 TL specs from the Acura tech website and used those numbers to align the car.

Probably could do that, but we have a contract that states our system is updated yearly or whenever a new model comes out. They're a little late.

Just an alignment. It's a requirement since they are installing the suspension kit.
