Nice! Love the tinted windows. Black and blue go so well together.
Agreed.
They’re 40% because the legal limit here is 35% but this specific type of tint was offered in 30% or 40% I believe in that range and I chose to keep it legal. I have the 3M Crystalline Film which blocks out somewhere around 97% of infrared heat which was a must in my eyes.
Okay, I ended up ordering the two wheels I needed from my dealership rather than risking two more damaged ones from them being shipped to my home. The price was about $110 more per wheel but the peace of mind was worth it. The wheels arrived today as promised which made it a 1 day turnaround. They’re installed and they performed an alignment which was needed from when I hit rubbed the curb. I wasn’t charged to install the wheels which was great.
Monday the car goes in for about 4-5 days at the detailer for ceramic coating on the paint and wheels along with PPF. Once that’s done my car is finished!
Side note - that box hanging out the window is what my parents call a CATio. A patio for cats where they exit the window and can be closer to the birds. This is my parents house I took the image at so pardon their dirty concrete from when they cleaned the gutters, lol.
I Paid $670 for side skirts and $340 for rear under spoilers both from local Acura dealer they price matched it from online. but looks 100x better with the spoilers
Where are you guys purchasing the side skirts from ?
Id assume OEMAcuraParts.
I went through my dealer even though it cost more though. I had ordered the HFP kit for my 08 Civic and the website sent me a black kit and another guy my gray kit. When I got my correct one it had a slight mold issue. Due to this I decided to just stick with the dealer so any issues were easy to address if necessary.
*I ordered 4 performance Y Spoke rims from OEMACURAPARTS and 2 came damaged. That’s not their fault of course but there are certain things I can’t trust UPS with.
out the door price and no tax but this might be oversized and they might charge shipping. I ordered y spoke wheels from them and got free shipping no tax
Finally got around to installing the rear pieces to go with the sides. Highly recommend it! Really ties the look together. Removing the rear bumper was easier than I thought it would be.

I agree, I purchased both right away and had them installed next day after getting car. I just ordered the illuminated door sills and Carbon interior trim.
Hi guys. I thought it might help to see some before and after photos if you're thinking about buying the OEM body kit from Acura. The car looks great on its own, but this kit makes it look more aggressive.
I installed the rear under spoiler without drilling holes & used heavy duty double sided tape. It’s lined up with the line of the bumper instead of sitting just a little below it if it was installed like it’s supposed to. I think it flares out a little more from the rear too.
I didn’t want to drill into the bumper in case another body kit comes out & I can switch without getting a new bumper.
The darker red are the pieces I added. It’s holding pretty strong. Also put double sided tape on the front edge of the bumper. It’s pretty secure.
I've found that the 3M VHB (Very High Bond) RP45 double-sided foam tape is good, but I've never used it in a place where there is a lot of weather or water.
I've found that just one screw does a long way as it keeps things from shifting (and the tape does the rest) .
In this case, it seems like the "one drilled hole" could be an an official place, and would be reused with the attachment of any future parts.

You didn’t secure the panels with anything except tape? If so, I can’t say I’d do that myself. I’ve seen the tape come loose on my HFP kit on my Civic. I wouldn’t want that to be the only thing connecting the body kit to my car.
I may be wrong but I’ve always looked at the screw as the securement to the vehicle while the tape is to hold the body kit flush.
Only time will tell… I’ve had other pieces on my previous cars held by only 3M double sided tape (CF hood scoop on WRX, CF exhaust surround, rear hatch spoiler)
I guess the rear under spoiler ‘hangs’ from the rear bumper, so it could use a couple screws to secure it.
I figured the way the piece is attached to the car, I think the wind is pushing it against the bumper at all times while driving.
It helps that the front leading edge wraps around the front of the rear bumper. I put double sided tape in that area also.
Aren’t body side moldings & rain guards only held by double sided tape?
