Well, after suffering a decent size scrath on my rear bumper, I was learning towars getting the kit for me Si. I was ready and willing to get the kit. I got a great price for the kit installed from the local Honda Dealer.This mourning I was on the phone with the Parts Manager, asking how long will the kit arrive before I placed the order. After asking him a couple of questions, he informed me that the kit is NOT a replacement front or rear bumper. They are just pieces that are attached to the stock factory body on top. After hearing this I told him politely that I was under the impression that it was a full body kit, not just pieces of fiber glass or what ever, and that i was not interested anymore. The guy wasn't upset, which was cool of him.

Know Im not sure how manypeople, who dont have this kit, are aware that the kit is just add on pieces, not a full kit. But for the price that some people are paying and some dealers are quoting, this kit is seriously overpriced. Most aftermarket kits from top manufacturers, like from C-West, are complete body kits, which mean that they replace the factory bumpers completely, are higher quality and around the same price. I was disappointed to say the least. I gues my plans will change again unfortunately.

Just thought I should let you guys know.
