i called Honda Service Dept for installation and an estimate
one quoted me for $125.00 and the other quoted me for $225.00
i aint paying $100.00 bucks for drilling holes in my car

im looking for someone who has installed these before... maybe i can pay for a nice lunch or dinner

sup aaron,
these might be pretty easy to put on if you're confident in your drilling skills

here are the installation directions:

i would definately not pay $100+ someone else to do the installation. i've never done this myself cuz mine came with them. if you have the tools it shouldn't be too hard.

I had them a couple years ago and if your car is lowered they are a waste of time. Mine came off several times thus I gave them away. Its a very easy install about 20 mins if that.
Good luck!

as long as you're going to keep them lowered to an inch it should be okay.
