Aspec Kit install
hey Azine,
Well I've been on the pc all day looking for a DIY to install my Type S Aspec kit that i recently ordered from Tim over at Peoria Acura. I have searched hi and low , Google and Azine and cant seem to find it. If someone could help me out with a DIY link for this install i'd greatly appreciate it thanks guys in advance.

Truthfully the provided instructions were pretty straightforward and you should have no difficulty following just those.

You can find instructions on Acura.com. Find the link for "Acura Store" Parts& Accessories (eStore). Click Accessories & put in your make/ model. Select a dealer,etc. When you land on the accessory page it has a link to the "Accessory Installation Instructions".

You should be fine with the included instructions but if you'd like to keep the lower fog light grill mesh assembly, you will have to perform a little customization. Some of prefer to keep it as it matches perfectly with the larger front grill. I was able to figure it out but not before posting a desperate newbie thread. I'll dig up a link if I can find it or you can search around.

I should be tackling this project tomorrow(weather permitting).... Figured I'd start with the front then rear then sides... :-)
The instructions are actually pretty self explanatory. I just went to Home Depot and got some 3M 5lb adhesive tape. Should be better than what's provided.

^good idea. i had to add a little extra for the front bumper. the rear bumper matched up fine.
just remember, once you press it on...it's on. there is no turning back at that point, so make sure everything is lined up properly.
good luck tomorrow. post some pics when you finish it. be prepared to dedicate a few hours for this.

Install went great. Had some much needed help from proimport(member on here)... Lined up everything and took our time. Weather was perfect.
Loving the look! Strange, just a piece of plastic can make such a difference to the stance and feel of the car!

yup.. extra hand is always helpful.
and double check the sport where u drill into the bumper before doing it.... one of mine didnt align for some weird reason.. and I drilled exactly where the "X" was.. so I have 3 holes that line up properly and 1 way off haha

Also do not take the tape off until the very end of each install. You can also add some more heavier duty 3M Double sided tape for additional support to close up the gaps. :-)

Looks good, but is the rear skirt just a bit off above the exhaust tips? It looks to me like you didn't completely cover up the seam with the under spoiler - either that or it's a shadow...I don't mean to be nit-picking, but I did the same thing, and it pissed me off. A few days later I removed the rear bumper again, removed the under spoiler, redid some of the 3M tape, and pushed the under spoiler up properly, and then refastened and reassembled everything. I did it in Feb though, and it was pretty cold, so I didnt have too much trouble with the 3M tape being too sticky.
If I'm wrong, I apologize.
Everything else looks good!!!

looks really good ... kinda off topic, but jw when u take the front bumper off, whats the deal with the fogs, do they just come off with the bumper? is there a connnection u have to disconnect or something??

There is a plug you have to unplug on the foglight housing to release the bumper completely.
