Default how difficult is oem body kit install on a 98 gsr

I just got one of the last of the OEM body kits for the 98 Integra. I was wondering how difficult and what exactly the install entails. Please let me know. Thank you.

Overall very easy..
Only part that requires real attention is drilling 6 holes in the rear bumper, and 2 in the front.(The fronts pretty easy though).

Just take your time, and double check all your measurements *Before* drilling.

its easy - rear is semi challenging, but just take your time and its fine. search ht for Radley Acura -- they had a great deal going on.

they didn't have my color but, radleys is where you NEED to get it fromt. Whole kit shipped for $350, even though I have to paint, that's a hell of a good idea. And I think it's one of the only full kits I like on tegs. just my opinion though,

just so you all know i ended up getting the kit from my local dealer for 350 dollars plus tax. Best thing is they had the WHOLE thing in my color. It's now installed and for anyone wondering its very simple and the dealer WILL print out instructions for you.

Should be pretty easy.....well at least the sides are. I just got mine from Radley Acura yesterday and I spent some time in the evening putting it on.

Looks nice....but my 97 color has faded the tiniest bit. I hope I won't see it in the daylight. $200 shipped....very nice.....painted too.

For some reason, my left side rear part doesn't clip in all the way. The clip goes in, but it doesn't snap in. Just kinda hangs there.....hmph.

$200 bucks!!!! You got it for that cheep? I thought it was $350 or somthin.

Is it true that these kits will no longer be produced? I may have to buy one before I can't find it any more.

What is Radley Acuras web address or phone number?

Can someone tell me if the OEM front lip replaces the whole lower bumper, or just replaces it?

$200 was for the 94-01 side skirts only...and painted.

It was originally $180, but shipped to NJ, it was another $20...then you have tax and all. It came out to $210 exactly.

And BKL94RS, the OEM front lip doesn't really replace anything, it's just a lip that attaches to the bottom of the bumper. Your stock bumper stays put.

Just got mine today from Radley... The skirts have a black rubber trim, did any of you take it off before installing it. Kinda looks ugly cause my car is championship white and with the black trim on the kit, doesn't look that great. Looks like some have taken it off and I was wondering if it would be wise or will the fitting be altered....

Thanks

That's funny, I have the exact same problem with my rear right skirt. It's not really noticeable until you get close. I haven't bothered to look at it.. and it's been a while. Have you fixed this problem?
