Hi, i'm about to buy a full A spec kit for my 08 type-S and i want to know have anyone on here ever get it installed by the dealer if so for how much? I called two of my local dealers and they both wanted $400ish for installation which cost more than half of the A spec kit itself. I know there are DIY out there to do it but let just say I'm not the best when it come to cars. All i know is rotate tires not even oil change. please help me! Thanks

Dragon, go to the SE Regions section of Acurazine to see if there's any Acurazine member in Orlando that might help you with the install.

steven got any pics of your ride ?

Just take it to a collision center, they will be able to install it for probably less than 400. mine installed my front aspec lip for free while the car was in for something else...

PS is there a vendor that i can purchase just the rear aspec for type s?

dragonsking91

K, i will try that now. Hopefully someone out there will help me. I'm not paying $400 plus tax for installation

Do it yourself, get a friend to help you, it's not that hard.

You need to remove some 10mm bolts, clips, screws, take that sucker off. Drill some holes where it is marked, and bam bam!

You're done, and you can use that $400 for a J-pipe.

dragonsking91

I would love to save the $400 but i'm afraid to mess it up. I will order it soon and "will try" to install, hopefully it will go smooth and no mountain to climb lol

Seriously, brother...break that modification hymen and join the big leagues. If you have ANY questions there's a small army here at your disposal to help, and it's...well, it's almost hard to eff it up. You'll be seriously happy you did.

dragonsking91

i feel you man, i feel you but i don't want to be the fool that at on top of a cliff and his friends all yelling him to jump. I know my limit man but i will give it a shot. Time to man up and grow a bigger pairs i guess

I consider that to be more of an invitation than a warning.

Honestly Dragonsking, like almost everyone has said...try it. $400 is a lot of money to spend on something you can do yourself. Every Acura manual has that same disclaimer btw..their way of avoiding law suits and the like. Find a buddy or just take your time - even do it over the course of a weekend if you want/need to. I'd never done anything like it before, and I hammered mine out myself in one day.

dragonsking91

i know there are manual like that out there but is there any videos on actual install of the kit? thanks

dragonsking91

ok, just ordered. hopefully i can install next weekend.

Kakarotx

I'm sure there are a ton of members in Fl that would be willing to help for a little bit of change. If you was in Tn I would help for free.

dragonsking91

thank and i was you were here i don't mind paying for the help but as long they get the job done. I called one of my friends that work on his GTI all the time and he said he will help me next week on the install of the kit

Just do it yourself. Its really not that difficult. If you not really good at working on your car its a great place to start learning.

What is the most complicated thing you have taken apart and put back together.

To me, I think installing the aspec kit requires similar skill level as putting together a computer desk.

dragonsking91

yea but i was hoping to "learn" on somethin that is a little bit cheaper at 700ish for the kit i dont want to screws it up. haha
Thank man i'm going to need it
I will post pics when im done with it, next week or so.
I change my license plate lights to HID but that's about it lol

Anakalia

Good luck! Don't worry you're not gonna screw it up. Just make sure to have a buddy with you then. You're gonna love it..

I bought mine from Ack05TL. Here's my album: https://acurazine.com/forums/members/anakalia-265519-albums-07-asm-acura-tl-type-s-7654/

Anakalia

Thanks! And just to clarify, I'm a wo-man..

dragonsking91

Anakalia

^lol thanks?

Make sure to post some pics after your install.

Nice car Anakalia! Do the kits come pre-painted from Ack? Any Canucks get it? Do customs kill the savings?

Anakalia

Hey thanks!
Yes it comes painted. It is OEM so the paint match was perfect.

dragonsking91
