Even if they weren't, you have to get them worked on anyways lol.

Are there side skirts?

White car, silver body kit, gold rims, silver center caps, and blue lugs don't mix too well man...

The A-Spec installation DIY is in the 3G garage. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/diy-spec-body-kit-installation-3g-garage-e-002-a-612659/

He's just joking man. Since they look to be SSM...send them this way. That'd be amazing to find it for that price and color-matched. My opinion though, when you get the lip kit painted, get everything on the grill besides the Acura "A" log painted WDP. Looks much cleaner

No need to get defensive. I was joking about the body kit being silver for now. Post pics when its WDP. The body kit transforms the car.

$300 is a real good price. Hopefully the body shop won't try to beat you over the head.

Good price, just get them colour matched soon.
It looks pretty whack.

CJ you might wanna use red text next time...things are taken too seriously sometimes

And I think you are going to end up spending near the same amount once it's painted. But good luck sir...
