I looked at the instructions. The rear looks like a bitch to do.
The reason for asking is that I plan to drive down to the States and install them to avoid the outrageous shipping fees to Canada.

I recieved my kit this past friday(thanks to Blakvrtbeast for setting the group buy up and to TIM for the awesome service) and installed it in about 4 hours. I followed the DIY in the 3G garage. I didn't have to lift the front to install the front lip. I just had to remove both the front and back bumper to do some drilling. The back is definitely a pain. Hondacuraworld.com has instructions. Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Yes, but they have a "best offer" option. I just paid $710 for the full kit! No offense to hondaacuraworld, but I'm not sure why everyone is making a big deal about the group buy price.

Not allowed to post links to ebay auctions... 
Just open up ebay.com and cut & paste the following lines into the search bar. This will take you right to the Open road auctions:
2004-2006 ACURA TL OEM BODY KIT NEW FROM ACURA DEALER
or
2007-2008 ACURA TL OEM BODY KIT NEW FROM ACURA DEALER
Apparently the lowest they'll accept is $710. I would try going lower first just to see...

I ordered mine a few days ago for $710 + $45 shipping. The ebay page shows it as $735 i think but just bid $710 and Ron will accept the offer right away.

I went ahead and ordered via Tim at Honda Acura World with total 792.95 today. Im not a big fan of ebay/paypal and the difference was not too bad. Will be waiting for it to arrive.

^ no, not the only difference. teh bloke is helping out an AZ vendor (among others) who supports this site and ensures that everyone's membership here is free. Tim also provides excellent service that has been proven time and time again here on AZ.
i'm all for free enterprise and saving a buck or two though, just sayin

cash back is still going on but for only 8%.
used that live search cash back, get 8% and buy it on ebay open road acura = good savings. not much of a savings but its the lowest aspec kit i had found.

Received my A-Spec Kit today from HondaAcuraWorld.
Outside packing was rather lame (holes in couple places, pretty heavy shipping wear and tear - going to write that off as shipper -fedex- "handling") however all items were INTACT and quick overview doesnt seem to be any red flags. The internal packing material was much better than the external box. Everything seems proper so far.
thank you,

How long did you wait until you got your kit? ive been waiting for 2 weeks now. (bought it from the group buy) Still nothing, maybe im just excited to get the kit and im counting the days until it gets to my front door. Either way if you can let me know how long it took that would be great.

-DeZ- call up Tim and ask him. I'm sure he would be more than happy to let you know.
