How much does the dealer charge for getting the complete OEM Kit? - Honda Prelude Forum

user604 · 02-02-2002, 04:11 PM

FOr the 2001 Prelude

like the front, rear, and side skirts
how much would it cost?

i went to www.handaccessories.com and it totaled about $700US
and i went to wingswest.com and the RS Kit for the 2001 prelude cost $700US too!!

so OEM or Wings west both cost the same....

how much does would it cost at the dealer when buying the car?

cuz if its that price, i mind as well get the RS instead cuz it looks better

but does the Wings West RS kit the same material as the OEM one from honda? Does it fit really good?? I want good quality and dont want it to like go out of shape or crack if its suckier quality than the genuine honda one...

any opinions , answers?

Dealers charge like $1300

For install too

The wingswest site is NOT the cheapest place to buy it. There are sites that sell them for $500 shipped but don't forget u have to paint it

if you're going to get WWRS.......get it from newwayautosports or you can go to ebay and search for spetzna1.......they're the same person

its $510 shipped to your door there

as for looks.......its ur opinion

materials.......OEM kit is hard plastic, the best material a kit can be made out of

wwrs on the other hand is made of urethane......which is better than fiberglass in that it won't crack or break when hit......but will warp under **intense** heat and pressure, but should be fine under normal conditions

the strength and quality of both kits are good, way better than a lot of kits out there.....price wise, WWRS is definitely less expensive than OEM....just get whichever one fits your style

don't forget if you get the WWRS for $510.....you still need to pay to get it painted and installed.....if you get OEM kit.....its $700 for an already painted and matched, perfect fit guaranteed body kit

the end price result is the same or about the same.....just depends which one you like better

one last thing here's a list:

for WWRS:

www.newwayautosports.com
www.ebay.com <=== and search for "spetzna1" OR type in "Prelude Kit" in the search box and look for the wings west kit and a gallery picture of a red lude ( i believe they used vooboo13's picture)

(spetzna1 and newway are the same person, just at ebay you can skip the quoting process if there's no one bidding on the kit at the time, just buy it now for $510 free shipping)

for OEM:

www.handaaccessories.com
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
www.hparts.com
www.majestichonda.com
www.manhonda.com

Oh, another thing, handaccessories.com doesn't ship to Canada.

user604 · 02-02-2002, 06:43 PM

1.) It ain't anything special. It was one of Vancouver Honda's perks/gifts for buying a vehicle from them. All new vehicles purchased from them got one. 2000 was the last year they offered it though. With it, you basically get 15% off parts and servicing.

2.) Yeah, I think we PMed each other a while ago. You live near Robson don't you?

3.) Yup

4.) 14% sales tax on all cars below $35000. Anything higher, you get charged luxury tax. (I think luxury tax is something like 3% but I am unsure

)

Good deal, for $35/year...luckily mine was free

Too bad it's only offered in the US though.

install is easy......you can do it yourself in like 30 minutes

SML · 02-03-2002, 02:41 AM

mr_lude2000, which dealer is that in Calgary? The cheapest I could get it quoted was $1200+tax at Contemporary. Where did you get it for so cheap???

SML · 02-03-2002, 02:43 AM

btw, i just installed the front lip in about 15 min. The sides took about 30 min for both. but i heard the back is a bit tougher since you have to remove the rear bumper first. It's quite easy, just make sure that your car is clean and it's not -30C outside!!! have fun!

ice1cube · 02-03-2002, 02:32 PM

rear bumper....easy to take off.......much easier than the front bumper......my brother and I took off the rear bumper and put it back on (because i had to refit it) in about 10 minutes
