Mine didn't come with any paperwork either, but email/call Tim and he can send you .pdf's of the instructions. Be sure to tell him which year and model your kit is for.

Also, just to update those who read about my rear lip arriving damaged. I have been in contact with Tim and he is taking care of it, as any consumer would expect. Couldn't ask for more from a vendor.

^ You realize just saying you want it here doesn't make anything happen right?

If not, read the thread. I never understand these posts.

Looks like the site is still up. The deal was too good to pass up so I also got one

Does anyone have any before and after pics yet?

Looks like I'm a little late to the party, is this still on? If so how much for a Carbon Bronze Pearl Type-S shipped to 12010?

Everything but the front lip is in stock...dammit. Gotta wait on that, could be 2-3 weeks. Oh well. Guess it will just make the anticipation grow...LOL!

If the group buy is still up (lazy to look if it is), then if you're in the 48 US States then you should have shipping for free but a 4$ handling fee. It came out for me like 792.

Looks like Tim is letting this buy run longer than originally planned. If anybody was planning on getting on this you might want to pull the trigger, not sure how much longer it will be on the site.

Here's a question. I've never actually priced the body kit other than seeing it in group buys. What's it normally run elsewhere? Or, what's it normally run from Hondacuraworld? The only link on the site right now is for the group but so I can't tell what they normally sell it for.

Also, just had Fedex drop off my rear lip replacement. I think Fedex has some vendeta against me since they seem to like to beat the crap out of my boxes. But, this time the lip arrived without damage thankfully. Tim provides some excellent customer service!

Just a Q guys but did the prices go up dramatically? I bought my A-Spec kit 15 months ago for around $660 shipped. The going prices were around $699-$725 for group buys back then. Soon after that people have been buying with the live.com rebate etc......$800 is cheap now?

I just ordered mine today, but i probably wont install it til spring

I think the kits are becoming more rare since they're not producing them like before. Now there focusing on the 4g, blahh, but I think mike's atlp exhaust has also been a big factor to a few aspec kits sold here.

TheChamp531

iTrader: (3)

No problem! Hoped you like it because I loved mine.

Sides are Easy. Front is medium. Back is the hardest.

Its explanatory on the direction, just take your time and if you'd like to one part of (side,front,back) kit a day at a time. Front and back installation are almost similar. Once you done it the first time, its really easy. I, myself, thought it was going to be really a pain in the ass, but once I started doing it and spent time on it, It got easier! Don't know if its a video instruction, but just try to do it yourself and/or with a friend. If you need any help, feel free to post back on this thread for further help.

It just depends. I don't know if it is being effected by the economy, but it could be a very good reason why. I could never find a Kit on ebay, never. And probably because now 4G TL came out and that they discontinued 3G TLs and accessories (well until a couple years officially).

Ew, Install them ASAP! You won't regret it, forget it if it is cold, get a giant heater next to you and start doing it!

Just ordered mine. Hopefully the weather's nice enough here in a week or so, so I can put it on. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

somethingstupid

i think the price is good compared to what the dealer would charge.

champ..i love it...nice and subtle but gives it the body lines just a lil more umph. need to drop it though hahaha. ill get pics up once i get a chance to take pics.

TheChamp531

iTrader: (3)

Yeah, it looks pretty good. I had doubts because I never saw it in person, but now I love it, even though I wish it could be cheaper like in the $400-500 range because with $800 I could do a lot of other mods like a UR Pulley, RSB, Intake, etc... (But nothing with the enterior )

jweb12

iTrader: (2)

Yes, somebody can......you. All you have to do is contact Tim. I believe his info is in the thread (if not search around, it's here somewhere).....or, you can email through the Hondacuraworld website (also has a phone number). Just give him a call, he'll take care of you. Very easy to work with.

For those not installing right away...be sure to open everything up and check it out.
Mine had a big-ass crack in the front lip. Thankfully, Tim and the guys are great and are replacing it and picking up the bad one with no hassles.

hi is the group buy still up for grabs?

PSULou03

Yep, looks like Tim changed the end date to 3/15 now I am definitely considering it since I will get my tax return soon, and my yearly bonus tomorrow

so is this just for the regular aspec kit? I would like the TYPE S kit so can I still order through the group buy? Also on the site it says specify color, so does that mean it comes painted?

ReplayMan

iTrader: (5)

Yes, you can get the Type S version. I did...it is a choice in the drop down menu.

did it come painted at no extra charge?

Lost track of this thread but I wanted to comment about this.

Here's what happened with the A-Spec prices. Notice that the vendors that were doing them at this price dropped into obscurity? Here's why.....

Dealer X decides to get some business online, and thinks, hm, if I sold body kits and made $50 each and turned them like crazy, I'd be da man here at the dealership! So, they take dealer cost, and add $50, thinking the shipping can't be too bad on these, right? Yeah, says here on ups.com it'll only cost $15.00 to ship a body kit at that weight.

So, the dealer sells 20 or so body kits, and the parts manager pats him on the back. Good job man!

Then, the bill from UPS comes, and they see that each one of those boxes had an oversize class 3 surcharge of $50-$75, plus the insured value. Parts manager goes back to said employee, and him for bringing in every last body kit at a pretty decent loss.

They then close down business, saying there's no money to be made online. In the meantime, a few people get in on one hell of a great buy, and live happily ever after.

I've been doing this 9 years, and the reason for that is that I know how to cover costs. At that price, our margin is razor-thin, but at least I know enough about online sales to cover the cost of goods sold....allowing us to stay in biz

I've known some of my customers going on their 3rd and 4th vehicles, and I'll be here for your kids' Acuras too

Hey Tim quick question.. I have a big deal with ups at my factory.. Basically. We have a big contract with ups and I get my stuff discounted.. How much is the shipping itself?

TheChamp531

iTrader: (3)

You'll probably have to contact Tim concerning that. He doesn't really check the forums out that much unless someone calls in for a group buy, or he needs to get something out.

thomodachi

If anybody wants to buy individual body kit parts, you can get them from http://www.acuraoemparts.com.

The parts are about the same price as Tim's, except they charge a little more for shipping.

quick question will the A-Spec front lip fit on the type s front bumper with no modding to it. Cause I wanna do the Apecs front and the type s sides and rear.

jweb12

iTrader: (2)

^ You talking about the Base Front Lip or the Type-S Front Lip? There are two different lips. Obviously, if you're talking about the Type-S lip, yes it's made to fit. If you're talking about putting the Base lip on a Type-S........yes, it can be done but will require a good body shop to work it to make it fit. See jptl04's car. I believe he's the only one that's successfully done it......to say it looks good would be an understatement.

CubanLynx84

iTrader: (2)

yeah that's exactly what i'm talking about. I think it just flows a bit better then the type s front.
