OEM Kit
They had some guy selling it on ebay and it was already black.. I think. The auction might be over by now. I posted something like this last week, and somebody gave me a website, to a place where they sell it, but I don't remember the link.
The OEM kit is made by Honda/Acura, therefore ANY Acura dealer could have got it for you from their warehouses - <u>when they were available!</u> I got mine earlier this year in the FBP color for my car. IF there are any left around, you'll most likely have to get it repainted, as the most common colors sold out when the price dropped to $299. Good luck in finding one.
I own a flamenco black pearl 99 LS.. here's my experience:
Acura discontinued the OEM body kit 2 years ago, and the only dealer i know of that sells it wholesale is Radley Acura. Jim Graf, parts manager of Radley, explained that he buys the kits from other dealerships at a wholesale price and sells them to us. He's the only one selling them since the retail on the whole kit is actually $1000+.. who would pay that much? Front and rear lips are no longer existant in black. However when i was interested in the kit, Jim had 4 Sideskirt kits in black left, and i jumped on that right away ($210 shipped)...
Later i had decided to purchase the front and rear lips, however they were going to come in white and i would have to repaint them.. purchased my lips ($169 shipped) and i'm supposed to get them back from the body shop today ($200 professionally painted).
Anyway.. go for the kit, you'll spend a little extra money getting it painted, but compared to most of the other poorly-fitting, out-of-place looking aftermarket body kits that you'd spend $600+ for, its a bargain... up to you!
