500 bucks...what are they smoking? Crack rock? Well, if you have any common sense at all, it should take you no more than a couple of hours. Certainly not worth 500 bucks. Better yet, why do you just let me come do if for you for 100. How bout that

wow 500... thats f'in ridiculous. Yea, installation is pretty easy from what ive heard (ive only installed the OEM lip on mine though), just allow yourself a couple hours if youve never done it before, but you can find instructions online if it doesnt come with it.

I just put mine on about a month ago, it took me about an hour and a half to do. I actually lost the instructions and was still able to do it. Although my set came w/ four pieces of double sided tape that is sitting here on my desk?!?! I have no idea where that goes. But anyway, you shouldn't have any problems. Oh yea, the directions will tell you to take off the back bumper, don't do it! It's totally unnecessary. There are some bolts in tight places, but not so tight that you can't get to them, just have patience!! Good luck and let me know if I can help...

OMG WHATTA RIP 500 bux

I wish i can make 500 dollars in 3 hours which was how long it took me to install my OEM body kit. That was my first ever body kit install, I have never did one before. Go to www.handa-accessories.com and go to the prelude exterior section they have instructions for each installation of the OEM kit parts. The side skirts are the easiest part, the rear bumper is the hardest. Get a friend to help you out. You might need a jack to lift up the front to install the front lip, dont need to raise it that high.
