I regret not having taken more pix when I did the ground effects install a few months ago but maybe someone else can add to these?

Here are Acura instructions on the side skirts install. I'll add the pix that I have from when I did mine showing the panels off so you can see all the clips.

The sides are really the easiest to install and don't take more than about 40 min to an hour/side to do.

Side Aero Install Pix

Here are the pix with the rocker panels removed, from the front looking back.

From the right, rear wheel well looking forward.

Another view from the rear looking to the front.

A closeup of the rear retaining clips.

This black clip is replaced with one that is included with the kit, along with new square washers for all the others.

Also included are new tailpipe extensions to help move the rear pipes out further and clear the new bumper extension.

Try this out, help her spruce up the house and then ask if you can just add this one little thing more to the car...

Since you've put them on yourself maybe you can help me. I got the kit installed when I got the car (free install so why not).

I went over a very small parking lot curb one night that we couldn't see and knocked the skirt half off. I had the skirt put back on without a problem at the dealership but now theres a small gap on the front part where it attaches to the wheel weel. I also noticed one on the passanger side(hadn't noticed the passenger side yet). I had them fix the drivers side when I got my oil changed but it's slid back again.

Do you think I broke something where they attach right there so it won't hold anymore. I haven't had a chance to stop at the dealership and ask them yet. I'll take a pic tomorrow after I stop at the carwash.

Anyone know where I can get ONLY the side skirts and not the whole kit?

thanks,

Each of the clips are constucted with a square shape, a molded X design at the rear (if I remember correctly). They all plug into corresponding square holes. So to insert one, you rotate the clip 45 degrees, insert and rotate another 45 degrees to lock in.

It's possible during your mishap that you either damaged or broke one or more of the clips at the mounting end or the attaching end, where it connects to the skirt.

That would be my guess, but someone is going to have to remove it and inspect to see where the damage actaully is.

If you check hondacuraworld.com (or any dealer) I believe you can buy the sides (both), the front and the rear as seperate items.

thanks!

I understand how you feel. They appear to be legitimate Acura dealer and as far as my order went, there were no issues.

I've just received an email from Norm Reeves Honda in Temecula CA and they have agreed to a rear wing spoiler deal for $426.65 including shipping. Thats very close to Hondacuraworld.com's group buy price of ~$423 ($466.50 - 10% + $3.95 processing). I purchased my wheels from them and had good luck there so you might want to contact them as well to see how they would do?

hey thanks man...i appreciate it...ill check that dealer...the dealer i got my car from told me he can get it for me at cost but he told me that was for $1350 without the rear wing spoiler, just the underbody...and that is pretty much the acura offical website's quote so i dont want to deal with him no more. thanks again
