A SPEC + install = 1600$ thats what my dealership quoted me... anyone think this is a bit high, thoughts?

odishaw

depends on how much your purchasing the aspec kit for, there have been group buys for like $600 if im correct, otherwise even still 1000$ for the kit. and it takes maybe an hour to intsall? so id say that seems quite high.

It's high. Find someone nearby to help you out. There are instructions in the 3G Garage.

My dealer quoted me about $1100 for kit and install. $1600 too high. I'm looking for a good deal and missed the March group buy.

ZRock-my suggestion....get another bid, on paper. Take it to the original dealership and tell them to match the 2nd bid.

How do we know he is talking about the body kit... lol

alexSU

iTrader: (3)

good question OP, body kit or suspension?

but im guessing body kit and if it is, that price WAY too high. buy it for $779 with the group buy and install it yourself on a lazy saturday afternoon

subinf

It does not take an hour to install the kit.

1600 is a lot of cash. Look at the instructions and set aside an afternoon. You should be able to take care of it yourself.

You can get the body kit for <$800 and install it yourself in a few hours.
You could probably get a local AZine member to install it for you for a few bucks too.

Avoid the dealership

Jesstzn

Ya really .. and I am mechanically inclined with all the tools .. floor jacks and the full kit is longer than an hour.

zrock87

THe Body Kit for the Type-s, There is a A Spec suspension too?

subinf

Same here. I've installed a few kits and even if the car were on a lift it would still take well over an hour. I'd realistically quote three or four if I was writing a service order, just to ensure everything is done well. You don't need to be blindly drilling holes in order to shave 1/2 hour off the labor time.

iTrader: (5)

yes !!!

plus if you are anywhere around me....i can help u install it for a case of beer (3 for me and 3 for you) and couple shots of both our cars

if its aspec suspension....sorry i dont know how to install that !!!

zrock87

does the ASpec suspension come standard on the type-s?

No, A-spec suspension is an option/accessory.

dont go to dealership for any modification to your car dude..they rip you off BIG time...

I just bought the a-spec kit on a group buy here last week for 775..painted and shipped to my house..and there is plenty of people that are here and plenty of threads available that you can refer to and install it yourself...

If you havnt bought it yet, the group buy is extended till end of April. contact the vendor and they ll hook you up nice..

took me 7-8 hours by myself its worth it better then paying few hundred for labor -.- Since you just missed the GB ... get it from here

A group buy will be up tomorrow for A-spec Body Kit: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=771011&page=3

depends on if your doing it yourself or not. mine took about an hour but i had Melvin and jordan (Rooki) help me and they both have done it before.

by your self and no1 to help could take several hours...

i suggest looking at how to take your front a rear bumper off in the Garage sticky thread

TL1999

If A-Spec suspension and the Body kit are included in the cost of $1600 then it is a good deal.

If it is only body kit, do it yourself and save the $$.

iTrader: (1)

get some tiens or konis

subinf

Of course if you had two other people helping you it would take less time. I'd still quote 3-4 hours labor if I were writing up the service order.

hipopkboy

i was just wondering if im picking up the aspec kit from Tim, how much do you think the dealer will charge me to install the whole kit? think i will get a rental for the day as some members said it will take em 8-10 hours install.

zrock87

Sent the Dealer this dicussion and got it for 1200 installed!!

TheDanger

dude save yourself 425 bucks and install yourself.

alexSU

iTrader: (3)

yeah they dropped the price down but still man, id rather have $400 in my pocket and put a few hours into installing the kit myself
