It's not gonna look good. Many members buy the eBay lip kits, better quality and unpainted so you can pick your own color.





Google 'aspec unofficial thread acurazine'. That should help give you an idea. Also go to off topic threads and go into the black market. Might be a group buy going on


Good luck

look for the group buy...OEM whole kit for like $715. of course it looks good otherwise we all wouldn't be looking to put them on our cars. if you're handy with basic tools and have a friend that can help...install isn't too complicated.

AckTL05 charges $750 shipped to your door if you don't feel like waiting on a group buy. Good luck.

OEM Whole kit is front lip, side skirts, and rear lip. I'm guessing you only want the OEM A Spec kit. BeezleTL65 is just giving you a hard time lol.

Bee85 gave you the info and trigirl is correct. Goolge acrua 3g for newbies and you can get more info. Also, there is a DIY thread and its not hard to install have a friend help you if need be.

i just did it this week, not to hard. just take your time, remove bumpers and it will take the better part of an afternoon. I got mine from AckTL05 on the group buy. just search "group buy a spec under $750 , and you will see it. its legit and it looks great. to put an 04 lip on the 08 it will require some additional modding, trimmimg, etc...iy works but its not the exact same size, GL

You can buy the cheap eBay kit, it's up to you. OEM " style " isn't OEM from acura. Contact AckTL05 for the OEM kit. Wouldn't buy the kit from anyone else.

Order from a vendor here. I had a great experience using OEMacurapartsTim. Total price was $734, and no group buy hassle to deal with. You will absolutely regret going the eBay route.

OEM style ebay stuff....is junk. fitment isn't that good and they are made of fiberglass which will crack.

did you even click on the first link i provided? the one that gets you to the group buy?

You do gotta consider its these people's jobs, and they may not be working weekends. Try giving Tim a call in the morning, it'll probably be $15 cheaper than Ack.

Please. Get. Off. Ebay.

Even if the initial price is lower, consider that paint will run you $300 at the bare minimum, plus most likely you'll have to pay a body shop to install because it won't fit right because it is aftermarket crap.

But hey, if $1,000+ for a shitty product seems better to you than $750 for OEM quality, paint, and fit, then knock yourself out.
