Default Look what UPS brought today

So, I finally got my hands on a brand new set of OEM Optional sides and a front lip (original packaging from Acura) today from UPS. It was shipped from Florida and the shipping costs were ridiculous to say the least. Took a while to find but im glad I did. I took some pics right after I opened them. Enjoy!

Nice, good find if your car is already silver. So did the UPS man tell you to bend over for the charges?

But please dont put that hideous wing on...

Don't bother. You can only order a front lip and it's something crazy like $800. The rest is discontinued.

Ya, the sides are discontinued. I found a guy who had bought the full optional kit from acura when it was still available. He never installed it, never took it out (maybe once to take pics), but its been stored ever since. I think i really lucked out on this one.
