The shop I went to is called:

HA Motorsports
4836 Stratos Way Suite G
Modesto, CA 95356
209-577-3980

They are an official Tein dealer and if you plan to get the 1 year warranty, you must have the suspension installed by a dealer. Their price was cheaper then dealers in sac, even enough for it to be worth it to drive down there.

Here's a list to all the dealers in cali, you might wanna give the local dealers a call too, to see how much they charge now: http://www.tein.com/dealer_list/Shop...A&category=all

And lastly if you a need a cheap shop, let me know. I've gotten quotes from this one shop thats the cheapest in all of sac.

Let me know if you need help kevin. It could seem intimidating at first and a little guidance would help you a lot. I would find out the part number for the bulb you need and then call EG Acura to see if they have it. Chances are they dont have you will have to order it like I did. I just dont want you driving around without your dash for a week.

what do you mean it doesnt work? Like when you push it, it doesnt turn on your fogs? or the light bulbs are burnt out for the switch?

The instrument cluster for our car isn't hard to take apart...Just the 2 screws and then you get a panel popper so it won't mess up the edges and slowly pop it out.
