I would like to do the whole kit but don't have the cash to do it all at once so I thought starting with the front wouldn't be that bad. But your right about gettin it all painted at once. Oakland Acura will install and paint match them to your car. $484 for just the front lip painted and installed. Not sure how good of a price that is considering I just started looking into it. But I know Dealerships aren't always the best places to buy from.

Front kit: $264 or $383 installed
Sides: $286 or $422 installed
Back: $264 or $434 installed
I dont know how hard it is to install these myself. It would save me around $425 to install them myself but not sure if i trust myself to do it. haha.
Oh and about the paint, I can't message you since i'm still new but I do want to have my rear bumper re-painted. I bought my car used and the guy that had it before me had some scratches on it so repainted it but the paint is kinda foggy looking. I tried to wax it but didnt really help. If you can email me with some details about your paint shop or hookup that would be sweet. hruiz14@sbcglobal.net Thanks.

Let me know what make, model, year, color for the kit and ill see what he can do for you. He has helped a few people here already do a TL-S Aspec Coversion on Base Model TL and Install Aspec kits on both base TL and TL-S. Tuneups, exhaust, precat, CT Supercharger, Suspension, Kits, etc he can do. Other memebers here can speak upon his behalf. WDP415 posted a lot of pictures you can "search" for his thread if you like.

I wouldnt mind finding a decent shop/tech to take my car to for the more technical jobs.
I ordered the body kit and much like my intake & Exhaust I am going to install that myself. However, I was considering outsourcing the labor for the suspension install that I have planned as I dont have the special tools/alignment rack that might be required for that job.
If not interested, do you know of other decent places with acura savvy people ?
Thanks for your insight !

Nice TL-S
Just curious what are your alignment price's for us Acurazine Memebers ??? I like the fact you have a alignment machine built into the ground There is only a few shops who were able to get my car on the rack w/out scrapping it. My side skirts, front and rear are basically on the ground almost going up

Here is my 03 NBP TL-S. Just snapped a few camera phone pics the other day, so I figured I'd post em.
I know I know, I need a drop, it'll come soon.
I'm in San Jose btw. I see some nice TLs around here from time to time!
