Where to purchase the body kit for my 2012?

We use to on the 3rd gen use a dealer with a guy named Tim that sold us stuff much cheaper than other dealers. Do we have a new connection to use to order the kits from fairly reasonable? Also extended warranty's? Please let me know as I am having a hard time figuring it out with the search.

Nowadays, most vendors sell for around the same discounted price; not only Tim.

AckTL05 just gave me a price of $860 shipped for the kit. So that looks to be the best deal so far.

If you are asking me, I haven't yet. I am in the middle of switching jobs, so I have to put that off right now.

I actually did do a search but just came up with tons of post that he was mentioned in. If he doesn't actually have a website or anything I think I may go with Curry. I don't really like sending almost a grand to just some guy. Thanks for the info though.

I can vouch for Tim. I've known him for years and he is a great guy with great prices.

SGT, let me set you straight here.

First, AckTL is a vendor here (not a user). My taillights came from him. Bruce is a good guy to work with. I had a good experience working with him. He made my taillights to my specifications. He gave me a good value at a fair price.

Second, Tim is also a vendor here on Acurazine. I recently tried to purchase a full Aspec Kit for my Type S. Since the kit is being discontinued in my color, Tim discovered that he only had one of the three Aspec Kit pieces I needed.

But, Tim was nice enough to search the entire country to find the 2 other "difficult to find" pieces I needed to complete my Aspec Kit. He made no money off of the other 2 Aspec Kit purchases I made, but was a good enough guy to help me out-even though he got nothing but my thanks and undying personal appreciation for what he does.

So the best way for me to thank him is to write a post like this to help another friend on Acurazine.

Mr. Bell,

That's good enough for me. I will be contacting them if I decide to make the purchase.

On a side note, the Vendor search should be made a little easier on this site. I clicked on "Vendors" on the top of the page and still can't seem to find them.
