my garage.

if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, grab a friend who does and install it together.

you can get it installed for free, all it will cost you is your time.

^you don't need equipment. just a standard socket set, tape, drill/bits, etc.

just follow the instructions that come with the kit, it took me about 5 hours but i took my time. get a friend who can help you, it really is not that hard. if i thought you and a buddy couldn't do it, i wouldn't suggest it.

i've never installed any kind of kit on any car and i did mine no problem.

if you REALLY dont want to do it yourself, just ask a friend who knows a little about cars to do it for you and just pay him a little for his time or buy him some food. trust me it will be WAY cheaper than taking it to the dealer for installation.

I paid $120 to my favorite local body shop. Money well spent, after 2.5 years still looks professional, no gaps.

you can easily installed the kit by following the instruction which can be found by searching the forum. it is pretty straight forward.

^ I agree 100%. I installed mine myself too, and had 0 experience doing anything like it before. Just set aside a day, follow the instructions and save yourself some $$$. Use that cash for another mod!

Ok so back to the original question asked being that OP clearly doesn't want to do it himself, I would bring it to a reputable body shop that isn't going to grab you by the nuts pertaining to the price.

Everywhere will charge you an arm and a leg. Most shops have not installed a "add-on" kit.

Go in your regions forums and ask for help. Do it yourself.

Acura dealer quoted me $700+ to install it. Local body shop wanted around $500. Insane. That's the reason why I'll never get an A-Spec. Do it yourself is pretty much the only option, and I don't have the time or patience to do this.

Holy shit!!! lol. Where are you located in SoCal? Installing a A-Spec kit isn't that hard at all. Pretty much just common sense in my opinion. Its almost as easy as installing an exhaust.

Do it yourself! Once you do this, then you will have confidence to install other things and do your own maintenance.

before you know it, over time you will be saving thousands on labor fees.
