Is there a scan from the service manual on how to put on the front and rear? I am stuck right now trying to put it on. On the front how you you put the screws in the wheels wells, it seems there is nothing there just two clips. I put the sides on fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and anyone in Rockville is more than welcome to drop by if you have time.

 

On the fronts there is a bracket to install then the lip screws to that .. same with the back.

And my personal favorite, at the bottom of Page 1, from 2 days ago:

A-Spec Body Kit Install Instruction Scan?

 

By the way i do not have any of the metal brackets.

 

On the rear bumper there is only double sided tape, where as in Datmrman has to drill holes in the rear bumper which doesn't make sense to me b/c mine does not have anything to attach it too.

 

Service Manual scans show screws and brackets.

Where'd you get your kit? Maybe Acura has changed the install??

 

Newer kits are different than the original one. Lots of drilling. The install instructions are on AZ

 

anyone mind linking me, i'm taking off the old tape right now, it would really help.

TIA

 

Did you buy it used? The rear has 4 tabs attached to the lip that the 4 screws that go through the drilled holes in the bumper attach to.

The 4 brackets are part of it.

 

yes i got it used, where the tabs look like they are suppose to be there is tape

 

The 4 tabs are held on by 2 pieces each of double sided tape .. I bet the guy just pulled the rear lip off pulling off the tabs and undoing the side screws and not bothering to remove the brackets.
He didn't want to remove the rear bumper to do it properly.

The 4 holes/tabs are for positioning the lip when the rear bumper is off and before the film is removed from the double sided tape.

 

so will double sided tape work or is it a must that i put on the clips. and can i buy the clips at the dealer.

 

I think you could get away without the clips but the brackets are a must.

 

The front is on, tomorrow i will head over to the dealer and get some extra clips and the brackets,

 

Just use the one I gave you, it is the most recent...I think...

 

I just put ALOT of 3M tape and it is moving at all. But, the passenger side is slightly off, i don't feel like changing it though.

 

Lol. So you are ok with it looking bad?

 

It doesn't look bad, where the corner of the grill on the far left side where a fog light would be; it does not sit exactly flush. other than that it is fine.

 

So i just got back from the dealer and they can't sell me the mounting hardware by itself so later today i will install it with clips and tape.

 

You mean the brackets that are installed on the inner fenders?

Without those your going to have possible issues with the back edges of the lips moving out.

Can't you get a hold of the seller and ask for them?

 

I will send him a message now.

Can you specify which brackets your talking about. from what i understand there are ones in the fender/wheel well and there are the ones that you have to drill into the bumper.

 

They are the ones in the links posted above -0 the brackets tha come with the A-Spec kit.

Your seller screwed you (imho) by not giving you all the parts required.

 

There is ones that go into the front of the front wheel well and the rear of the rear wheel well.

 

I paid $400.00



He told me he doesn't have the brackets, but i look at it today and it is really stuck on the bumper. My old lip was held up by 3M tape. When i tried to get it off it was very difficult.

 

double post

 

Doesn't matter what you paid. If I were to sell you something, I'd supply all the parts that came with it and/or tell you what is missing BEFORE you buy it.

Again, just my .


Hope the tape works for you. As long as you're happy, what I or anyone else thinks really doesn't matter.
