A spec lip alone?

I have a small chip in the front from a coke can I am going to claim on insurance. So when they repaint the front end, I was wondering if I could have them put on an A spec spoiler in the front only. That is the only piece of the kit that I like besides the wheels, so was curious if it was sold seperate? Anyone have any place I could get htat from, or would the Acura dealer be able to provide one?

Thanks!

Matt

Yeah, they sell the kit seperately. You can look on ebay. Probably be around 320 i'm guessing for just the front lip.

It was $500, but I almost got screwed on some hail damage, luckily I have a friend in PDR that is hooking me up, or I'd be out a lot of money...

I switched it to $50, I plan on making claims every 3-6 months to keep my car perfect. The hail here in TX is random and happend at least 3-5 times a year, sometimes more. In 2003 we had two huge storms in a week, so when stuff like that happens, I'll be going to the bank, instead of to the poor house. The cost in deductibles only rasied my insurance about $18 bucks ever 6 months... My dad calculated it out to needing to make a claim every 4 years or something to make the difference up, and I already had hail damage the second week I had my car.

Do you mind posting a pic of your car? I'm curious to see how it looks with just the lip. Thanks.

Damn that looks perfect, did you just have window tiny put over the tail lights and the rear side markers? I thought about doing that, but my car is red, so it doesn't look too bad with red lights...

How dark of tint did you have put on it? does it not look funny when you wash it? Also how hard was it for the clears, that looks so damn awesome, that is the one MAJOR mod I want to do next, is the clear front lenses...

the front clears just took a lot of guts to put it in the oven...i did it on a civic before so i kinda had the idea

the tailight tints arent window tints..theyre roadblockers rear tailight tint...you can find it in the sponsored sale section of this forum

Does the front lip from the aspec stick out a lot? The front shot makes it look like it bulges out quite a bit...
