The bad luck bug bit me this week. I should've already had the lip kit on but the paint guy(first and last time) didn't have my front bumper and RJ lip finished until today. They were suppose to be done last Fri or Sat. I'm going to pick up the parts in a couple of hours. 
Only one of my Borla ProXS mufflers came in yesterday. The other should be here today. Sooooo...Sun the lip kit should be installed and Mon the mufflers and new tips should be installed.

I'm anxious and mad right now. Bad paint guy with no remorse so I gotta go back to my regular guy tomorrow and get him to fix my bumper and lip. I'll never go with a hook up again. It's not worth the headaches, migraines, and nightmares. Lesson learned! So hopefully, Sunday rear and side skirts installed. Monday I can get those parts repainted. And Wednesday or Thursday I can get exhaust done.

I gotta wait til the 22nd to get my front bumper and RonJon front lip repainted properly. Well, here are the few updated pics of everything.
Very noticeable and horrible paint job of my front bumper
OEM side underbody spoilers
Rear OEM underbody spoilers and new tips/Borla mufflers
I'm sure y'all see the holes! I will eventually be installingthe backup sensors. Lol

The shop will need your car for a couple of days to blend in the paint with your fenders. It can't just be painted seperately. The color will never match. I was thinking about installing backup sensors on my car as well. Let me know your impressions of it once you get it on and working. The install doesn't seem too hard from reading the DIY instructions.

My original paint shop did really good on repainting my new rear bumper after be rear ended last year. I've already got my rental car reserved. Lol Once I order the sensors, I'll keep you updated on how the install goes. You're right. The DIY doesn't seem too difficult.

Sorry to see that ActRight. Brian is right-WDP might be the most difficult color to match on an Acura.

One week until I can get the front bumper and RonJon lip repainted. Anyways, Cdavis1 still took a few nice pics this past weekend of my car and his.

The one shot does look good. More pics are definitely needed.

The whole RonJon grill/lip works SO well.

This is just me but I think the RJ frontlip is too agressive compared to the OEM kit. You can clearly see it has a much lower ground clearance. Replacing the RJ side skirts will help a lot. The rear kit you can get away with OEM. It still looks great as is though but only my observation.

Thanks, Steven! I've been loving the look since both have been installed.
Thanks! Again and again thanks for selling the lip to me. Yeah. Coilovers are definitely coming up. BC Forged is at the top of my list after the coilovers. Hopefully, a local shop will give me a discounted price on the wheels.
I agree with you. The RJ front lip is more aggressive compared to the OEM sides and rear. I'm hoping a drop and wheels will help out the look. Thanks.

Keen observation, I noticed that too. Overall It looks good. I wish more people would try the blank straight bar, I think it looks better than the "A" bar.

Nothing special. I got bored this morning when I got off work and decided to take some quick pics since we finally got almost 3" of snow last night in central Arkansas. We usually only get ice or sleet.
