Guys, I'm doing a TL-s lip kit install tomorrow and would like to know if the Acura instructions are all I need to follow? I thought I saw a tips thread but can't find it anymore. I did buy 3 rolls of the 3M heavy duty weatherproof and plan to use that in various areas.

Thanks,

That's funny, I'm doing mine Saturday as well. Just got mine from Kaleb yesterday. Good luck!

Here's some links that might help you out for the finer details for the install.

I'm only doing the front and back so I only have these two links.

I ran into the same issue when I did the install this past weekend. I wish I knew it wasn't for anything because now I have a random hole on each side of the lip.

I did the side skirts this weekend. Reminder when you go to slide the skirt towards the wheel to get them off make sure you pop the top clip. There are 2 on the rear skirt and 1 for the front skirt. Before you can slide the skirt you have to do this or you will break the top clip holder in the skirt.

Bump.
Didn't realize you had to install the sideskirts as one whole piece...
I did it as two separate things while it was getting dark.
I was left with a ridiculous gap. It really annoyed me.

I pulled the sideskirt off as suggested on both old and new sidesskirt. The clips that hold the skirt by the wheel-well broke off. Now it's useless.
So just a warning to others--but you guys probably all know that by now

A couple of small screws will fix that

You would never decide to take the aspec kit off IMO, but if you do, then you would need to swap/buy a new rear bumper.

I'm trying to install my rear a-spec kit, but I don't understand step 4. What do I use to cut out the inside of the rear bumper?

I don't have the Aspec kit, but have a question on the side skirts. Do they completly replace the stock ones or are they also just a lip kit like the front & rear?

Just curious if the OP could repost the photos? They show up as no longer existing now, and I feel like photos would really help me in the future and other people now. Thanks!
