Curry Acura FTW

Nice customer service. Fast turn around time. Ordered on Fri afternoon. (They had to get the stuff from their warehouse then ship it to me.) Arrived Wednesday morning. Excellent price!! And the best part, they had the exact parts I needed w/ the rather uncommon car I have.

Installing the front was a piece of cake, other than the passenger sides screw that holds on the bumper. It was stripped! Gah!! The sides were a royal PITA. Harder than installing coilovers. It probably didn't help that I was doing this in the street w/ the car flat on the ground and about 2.5 inches off the ground, lol. But my gosh, does it look sexy. The WW rear needs to be painted, I don't know when I'll get to that though...

I snapped a quick pic, nothing special, car's dirty. I'll wash it tomorrow, but you've all seen a lip kit, so it's no big deal. It makes me smile though


Oh, and while I was at it, I added this goofy looking mod...

omg jayuns, were gonna be like twins! I have the same setup, OEM front + sides and WW rear. My stuffs is getting painted as we speak, I should have everything by the next week or two. But im not gonna take pics till i get my new FX retros on.

Yeah the sideskirts are a pain to install. I installed mine in my cramped garage over the winter in like -10C weather last year.

Did you really have to take off the bumper to install the front tho? I didnt.

(Had to put the front plate on to drive down to the beach for a car show this weekend.)

Like I said, I didn't jack the car up. I could barley get my hand underneath there, let alone a drill. Had that one screw not been stripped, taking the bumper off and putting it back on only took like 15 minutes.

While it was off, I really got excited about the possibility of changing grilles... All black mesh to replace the "flying chrome" w/ the "A" might look kinda mean...

<3. I've actually been eyeing up projectors recently... It seems more doable now than I thought a year or so ago... I have 3 headlights, so I'd only need to find 1 at a junkyard for the time my headlights would be shipped out. But we'll see. I have some other things I want to take care of first.

I took it off to clean it. Figured since the bumper was off I might as well.

BTW, I think something is loose, because when I drive over 30mph, the drivers side sideskirt groands/creaks... Very annoying.

^^ looking great!

As for the front lip, I just have the 2 selftapping screws on both driver and passenger sides of the bumper to hold on the lip. I didnt have the double sided tape, nor the screws/hardware that go along underneath of the bumper.

Nice job finding the OEM front lip + side skirts.

Installing the side skirts were tough? Who said that? They were the easiest part of the install! A 2x4, a towel (to prevent scratching), and some elbow grease and they popped right off and snap right on. 5 minutes, tops to do that job.

Thumbs up

Great car bro, im lovin those rims (color included) and that color, its different. Good shit on getting the front and the sides, car is DEF looking good, reminds me of myself, before when i only had my front and sides with out the rear. Man when you get the REAR forget it, boy is it gonna look sweet.

Ya, I did that eventually... It was just getting over the fear of snapping the side-sill. The 2x4 didn't really help. In the end, I just manned up and pulled it off w/ my hands.


Debaged the rest of the rear tonight.... and washed all the bugs, sand, and dirt off the car from the beach...

SWEEEET! Car is looking better and better everyday. Curry acura was able to get an NGM lip kit? I may order one, but my next priority is a DROP. I bet Acura has tons of NGM lip kits still sittin around now that I think about it... Nice spoiler too btw. Did you have to have it painted too?

My original standard side skirts were a bitch to get off! I had to lay down next to and almost underneath the car to pull the damn things off. I was pushing off the tire with my feet to get some more leverage and I still had a hard time!

Thanks. Yes, Curry had it in their warehouse.
I didn't want the OEM rear. And you should definitely get coil overs before a lip kit. The lip kit was very low on my list of things to do. I actually would have liked to wait a little longer, but things just fell into place and I wanted to snatch this up before it was too late. Very soon, you're not going to be able to buy brand new authentic OEM kits...
The spoiler was "custom" made for my car and painted as part of the deal. They actually made it for a 3G TL... I had to send it back and get it remade (48in) for the 2G. The 2G's trunk deck is about 4in wider than the 3G's... It was a cheap mod that adds a nice touch to the rear. I really like the OEM w/ LED spoiler though... but not for $400.
