A-SPEC kit installation...

Well since my car is in body shop for few things, i've decided on a-spec kit and I asked the body shop if they can install it for me. They want to charge me $400 and said they have to drill holes into bumpers, Is that true? How hard is it to install the kit?

I haven't ordered the kit yet, so any good source where I can just get the kit not the whole a-spec package?


thanks

Yes there is drilling, there are templates for the locations.

I did the whole thing in little time. Truthfully if I were to do it again I think it would take less than 1.5 hours.

Yep, definitely some drilling. You can get the parts on eBay from a number of dealers' stores.

good price!! i paid like $840 shipped found it on ebay .......esconindo acura! great people and great service

and its very very easy to install.......hardest part was the rear bumper because you have to take it off and the screws are hard to get to w/o removing the rear wheel.......
