Potmilkz: Somehow these eBay vendors keep changing their links. I already ordered the kit for $845 Total including shipping coming from New York to California and it should be here by next week Tuesday. Thanks for the response though.

My kit is on the way, but I heard several people on the forum had to drill the bumper . Can anyone tell me exactly where to drill, how big of a hole to drill, and if I need any extra installation material that I need to purchase? If there are any pictures available that would be great. Thanks a lot guys.

^ You do need to drill a few holes in the bumper (front & rear) to allow for the attachment clips to secure the spoilers. You really don't need any extra install materials, but I bought some 3M double sided adhesive tape to supplement the existing double-sided tape. I felt this would give me a bit more strength when mounting.

You should get the install instructions with the kit, but if not, you can download a copy from the Acura e-store accessible from the Acura website. They contain details on the location and size of the holes. I found it not too difficult to install, but having a friend can help when trying to remove and re-mount the rear bumper.

Great advice, I'll look into getting some 3M double sided tape. Thanks

Steven Bell: Yea the RonJon kit does look pretty good, but I lack patience. The kit should be here tomorrow and possibly on by this Sunday

potmilkz: I will hook you up with some pictures. Hope I don’t get too excited that I forget the camera.

Got my kit installed partially on January 29, 2011 because it was getting dark. The only part left is the rear and that should be installed next week Sunday. Yes there are some cuttings that need to be done. The installation is pretty much self-explanatory.

Yeah, my friend John is the man. The guy used his hands to feel for the drill spot then used a sharp tool to puncture a small hole. He suggests not drilling because it can rip the paint or something like that. He used a blade to cut the corners around the hole and hand twisted the drill bit in the hole slowly. Hopefully this Sunday we can get the rear on.

You really don’t need to take the bumper off for HID install (low beam or fog lights), but it’ll make life much easier from what people said.

The installation is pretty much self-explanatory. I highly recommend having 2 people to do all the under spoiler installations, makes life a lot easier.

i think the new 2012 looks good, but the 09-11 look bad a$$ with that oem kit.... And oem fit is what you want with body kits. Aftermarket kits SUCK!! I learned the hard way on a prior car....they look great and fit poorly....

Oem will fit great... I want one of these TLs now!

Sorry guys, my friend did not have the time this Sunday to do the rear. Schedule for the rear to go up will be Sunday the 27th of this month. As of right now, I’m driving with the front, sides, and rear mud flap setup.

you going to do wheels? the OEM wheels look too small now... that is the downside to body kits.. they tend to add more weight/mass to the car and make OEM wheels look too small... you'll need to go to 19s...

We started around 1PM and stopped about little after 4PM since it was getting dark soon. The front took the longest since we installed it by touch and feel rather than taking the bumper off. Rear not up yet.

I was debating on selecting one of the wheels set below. I also was thinking of installing Tein H-Tech since I don’t want a great drop, but I think I’m going to ride OEM a little bit and save my money till I need new tires. Any opinion or suggestion on my options?

It’s all about preference. My opinion, the 17” OEM looks pretty descent given that they are lighter than 18” and 19”. You do have a point on the 18” and 19” difference but the added weight and the extra cost is a turn off. Think I’ll drive till my OEM tires are close to bald for awhile until I change my mind, which most of the time is the case lol. What 18” are you running on now and what 19” are you thinking of getting?

Rear Underbody Spoiler Install
Here you go guys, the rear install. It took close to 4 hours for the installation (including 2 smoke breaks).

Photobucket is weird or maybe it’s the forum. Some of the links you’re able to click on and others you have to copy and paste on another web page. I used photobucket to post pictures before and it works but not sure what’s the problem now. I don’t know any other way to post them.

Actually, I have no patience at all. My friend was the one doing all the work, and I assisted him. I would’ve given up the first 15 minutes. This project takes a long time and requires at least 2 people.
