search the threads for the A-Spec install and find the part for the front underbody spoiler install......do it backwards All you need is some dirty clothes a philips and flat screwdriver and 1 hr of your time. (Not sure if you may need a 10mm rachet for this one.....keep it handy.)

Synopsis: undo the screws at the edges of the lip in the front wheel well, pop all the fastners off under the car, pull the lip off carefully away from the areas of double-sided tape......easy.

You CAN do Iiiit!

Damn that sux Ray. Any and all damage to your baby really leaves you in a rut until its fixed huh?

I find it interesting that, in your picture, your car is a WDP box.

One thing of note:

As I was getting my estimate done, I saw a guy chilling, riding in a black VW with white scuffs and dents on the drivers side. I looked at his car and wondered to myself: Why can't I do that? Why can't I just ride in my car like that without caring if it is dented, since it doesn't bother the operation of the car? WHYYY???

Then, almost as suddenly as the bout of doubt, in regard to my status, had reached it's peak...a voice resonated in my brain...a voice of strong reason and clarity...it said:

"Do not despair "Obi-Dark", for thine chariot be meant for greater things. Not for naught were you chosen as Darksom1 of this century. Yon driver may drive in peace, but he is not of thine ilk, not of thine greatness and heritage.

He drives a VW, you drive an Acura. He drives a Jetta, you drive a TL. And lastly, but certainly not least young warrior, "he" drives a black car, while you - coolest of the cool, cleanest of the clean, and most handsome of all you survey...rock NB-MOFO-P!!!

So has it been wirtten...so shall it always be done!

Good Price.

You'll be happier when it's fixed.

Yeah...you were on it Ballin'. Remember when the lady backed into my bumper just two days after I got my grille done? Same people will do this job. They do nice work (I can check the progress from the internet pics), so I am confident that Stella is in good hands!

Yo Al...you know how I do playboy...it's coming!

From acuraoemparts.com, the spoiler is: $264 (not incl shipping). I may be able to get it price-matched at Rosenthal w/o shipping costs included in the match. But then I have to have it painted NBP (the grey part at the bottom). So I am looking at around the same price to paint that ($253) in addition to the new cost of the part. If I just wanted a new A-spec, without painting the lower part NBP, then yes, I would just buy a new one. But, I WANT ALL NBP (so do you ya nut)!

I can paint it black for you for 5 bucks. You will never know it was a sharpie.
