ok guys. i am about to buy a oem bodykit. i found only the front and side skirts but i need to know how to install them. should i do it on my own. please if you have any tips or advice i really would appreciate it. just let me know how hard it would be to do it my self. i dont want to have to pay someone for this mod. thanks in advance.
Installation on almost all body parts is generally very easy if you are even slightly inclined with tools. If you have a helms manual it will show you have to take off anything you need to. Although the oem kit is just lips on front and back so should be cake
front lip is easy, so are the sides. but with sides, dont try and put in the oem part with the white clips still on the car body. take them off then slide them onto the side skirt THEN clip them to the body. i learn this the hard way...

all of you have been more than helpfull. is 370 shipped a good deal for a brand new kit minus the rear skirts. the dealership only has one of the rear skirts and i dont need only one of them. let me know and also keep on with the help on the installation. thanks barry
370 isnt good, but its not bad. there are stealerships out there charging 1k for oem kits. if the front lip and sides are in your color and you dont have to have them repainted then 370 is a killer deal
EDIT: i just noticed your car is satin silver, same color as me. if you actually found a front lip and sides painted in satin silver concider yourself extremly lucky, especially for 370

yes the kit is in my color. i can order the front and sides for 370 shipped. i figured this is a good deal and it is straight from an acura dealership.

once i get it on order i will let everyone know where to get the stuff from cause i have a list of dealers that have satin silver pieces. also do i have to take off the old side skirts or do i leave them on. please still bring me the info. on how to install the body kit.

The Front Lip and Side Skirts are easy to put on, no drilling required.
When putting on the Side Skirts dont jack the car up and take the front wheel off to put in the screw. I learned this the hard way!
