Default Aftermarket OEM Replica Underbody Kit

Has anyone purchased and installed the OEM replica body kit on their Integra? If so, please post some pics and offer some feedback on how it fits. I'm thinking of getting the aftermarket replica's ...Thanks

Would that be an "OEM replica", or an aftermarket reproduction of an OEM replica?

Who makes one?

Wings West makes a copy of the Mugen sideskirts - but I haven't seen a copy of the OEM sides and rear valance pieces yet.

I want the rear piece but its soooo damn hard to find the OEM part(s). I dunno how well the fibreglass replica peices will fit either.

dont believe the hype. yes, the oem sides and rears are "hard to find", but definitely not impossible. if you're patient, the right deal will come along for you, and it sure beats regreting having spent $300 on a replica kit that fits like crap

just the last couple of months alone, i think i found atleast 4 or 5 sets of real acura sides and a couple sets of rears in HT's own classifieds forum....and one or two of those kits were brand-new. if you're a cheapskate, dont expect to find a "deal", unless you get lucky and find an owner who just wants to dump it. otherwise, if you love the look, its out there, just gotta pay the price.

this will make some of you out there sick, but i met an older woman a couple years back who "hated" the way the kit looked on her integra. the car came with it when she bought it used, and the kit was in MINT condition. she wanted me to have it, FREE of charge. all i had to do was remove it. unfortunately, i passed when i realized the kit left holes in her rear bumper, and i had no cash to pay for a new paintjob or bumper. the kit had the itr front lip, sides, and rears...free. too bad.

You're right...I hope to find one from someone honest though. Spending that much money via mail makes me worry. I'd rather pick them up....

I found a set local, in Jersey, then the guy tried hustling me for flat screen plasma TV's and I threatened his life before I could get them.

I ask my DPS just about every week he comes to the dealership if Honda would make some more OEM kits just for me.

i can't believe how expensive the OEM kit is now. I still remember when they were $299 shipped for lip, sides, and rear in any color you want. Talk about demand killing the supply

They won't...........since it was never a hot seller to begin with when it 1st indrotuction it will never be made.

A prime examples are the EG ('92-'95) Honda accessory "armrest" and "center console".

These were hot accessories from over 10 years ago and its still is. Honda won't discontinued them. There's like over 300 sitting at the warehouse and still a fast moving item from Honda.

My thoughts are this:

If people starting buying **** from the dealerships rather than wait for a ******* fake replica from someone, Honda wouldn't discontinued them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,******* cheap asses
