Just installed my kit!...

Sup guys! I just installed my kit yesterday. Aero sides, OEM front and rear. I did the front a week ago, but I did the rest yesterday. The sides I did by myself, but I had my bro help me with the front and rear. I also got my tint about 2 weeks ago. 20% all around. Let me know what you guys think. Here's the link to the pics. It's the pics with the name "kit#".

Now I know what you're going to say... "you need RIMS!!!" Well, that's the next step. I'm planning on getting these rims: Velox VX8 (18" gunmetal)

Very nice Azure I really like the OEM kit on ebp, looks awesome, yet very subtle too. I think those Velox rims will go great with your ride, congrats on your kit install. Hey, check mine out too and let me know what you think.

Well, the cheapest I've seen is Handa-Accessories.com. $717.60. Hondawerx.com is $750.00. But that's not with the Aero sides. It'll cost a little extra if you want the Aero sides instead of the OEM sides. Other than that, I have no idea where else to get them for cheap. Unless you buy it from someone here that is willing to sell their kit.

MugenRacerX (Greg) had a group buy for Hondawerx.com. That's how I got my kit.

NorrinRadd - Thanks! I see you put up new pics. Niiiice! Looks sweet man! I think our next step should be the 'Altezza' looking grill. I just ordered mine. Thinking about getting those too?

Oh, and I'll let you guys in on a little secret. There's about a 2mm gap between the body and the left Aero side just under the door part. It's like that because I installed the plates just a liiittle too high. But it's not that noticeable. You'd have to be really close to the car in order to see it.

That shouldn't be a problem right? Only that rain/water and get in and possibly rust the plates that the Aero sides clip on. Maybe I'll post a pic of that so that you guys know what I'm talking about.

LiLaSiiAn8 - Sweet!!! Keep us updated and post up pics!

I'm curious... did anybody ever ask for a quote from your Honda dealership for the cost of installing the kit? I asked, and they quoted me $262.40!!! WTF?! Then I asked how much it would cost just to install the Aero sides... they quoted e $140.20!!! Huh?!

Wow! I didn't realize it was $750.00 SHIPPED. That's a real good deal! Sorry man! Didn't know. But to anyone who is reading this... I strongly recommend going thru Greg at Hondawerx.com. He has helped me out so much with any problems or questions I had. And he'll do anything he can to help you the best way he can.
