I wanna ask a quick question here. can anyone tell me how much will the body kit lower the car? I know it doesn't lower the car, but the body kit is relatively lower to the ground compare to the base kit. Since I have a steep slope on my house, i really want to know if it works before I buy it

I got mine! Crazy I got it so quick...
I have to say, the install is straight forward but, you would be way better of reading the instructions front to back, then do it. Don't go step by step.
Always, regardless of what it says, lift the car up and take off the tires if possible. Trying to squeeze a tiny screwdriver between the sideskirts and tires was lame!
And sorry, no pics yet. GF parents borrowed my camera... I'll be doing a photoshoot over the weekend if the weather co-ops...

Finally arrived...
Got my body kit and tails/sidemarkers yesterday.....definitely had to sign for it(I specifically asked the driver and he stated it is supposed to be required on items valued over a certain $$$ amount....FedEx's CYA; just in case). I'm really glad nothing was damaged since the carton all the parts arrived in was HAMMERED. Luckily, everything inside was alright but I did request the driver put the packaging damage exception down before I signed for freight to cover my ass 
Make sure you note an exception for packaging damage since it will help with any damage claims with the carrier.

However, lip kit, suspension, calipers and 18" rims would be an AMAZING deal but no way in hell are you ever going to find something like that. Rims alone would be at least $1100

It all fit in my car very well. Just put them over your passenger seat. Put some towels on it first.

Well, I had a 'stomach virus and headache' today so it gave me perfect time to install the a-spec kit and tl-s tails/sides from the groupbuys.
It took me and a friend about 5 hours. Honestly, the hardest part, for us, was removing some of the screws by the rear fender. The side skirts were easy, the front was pretty easy as well. The rear wasn't bad but took more time cus of the tails. Glad I have a friend with a big garage with plenty of lighting and car tools or else this definitely woulda been harder for me. Afterwards we went to taco bell and another friend met us and the first the he said was "I like your lights"
The end result after a nice wash (and no condensation in the tails
) :
Now I only have to wait two weeks until I get my new switchblade key

I dont know what is the TL-S sidemarkers...can someone point it out for a noob.
Also, I like the TL-S tails. What happens if I get an 08 TL? DO they sell the tails for the 08?
Thanks

That be me 
Just drop me an email to hondacuraworld@aol.com or grab me on AIM if there's anything you need.
I had to disable my PM function here because for some reason I never get PM notifications, and I don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring them.....
