Got them from Tim at hondacuraworld.com last year.
There is no drilling required but there are 72 bolts you'll have to ratchet upside down under your car.
I believe they were around $450 on a group buy. |

The Chrome Steps are the February Special at www.hondacuraworld.com for $445:1: Thanks Tim:cool: The new steps are a little different from the old ones (I previously installed them on my old '01); the rear brackets on each side are now one piece as opposed to two (the front bracket is still two pieces) thus saving 16 bolts:rolleyes: The new Step design is thus easier to install than the old one.
There are now 68 bolts to work with counting the 12 on the step itself (56 w/ brackets and 12 on the steps). By the way Acura OEM steps are very sturdy and will not give when stepped on. All that is needed is a 1/2" ratchet with an extension (both a 3" and 6" extension help) and a 1/2" wrench. |

Both are available. Acura makes two Chrome Side Steps; Bright Chrome and Satin Chrome. The Bright Chrome is very shiny/polished whereas the Satin Chrome is more like the '04 front trim and rear trim.
They also make black side steps as well. When you order from Tim's website and click on Chrome Steps there are radio buttons to select which one, Bright or Satin. |

crmsnidol,
Nice! Do you happen to have a whole side shot showing the steps by chance?

Thanks, babe!
Your rims are shiny enough to make the whole package work! With the 04s, ya got shiny door handles but not so shiny wheels. So, do you go for shiny chrome or satin chrome... :confused: The Big Question. |

I don't have the Aspen Pearl, but I do have the TW with the shiny chrome side steps. Click on my gallery and you can see 'em. Good luck. |

Yeah, baby, that's it! Clean and elegant.
One more request: White (either one), with chrome sidesteps, hood wind deflector AND fender flares AND sunroof wind deflector.
That's all I really want. Is that asking too much? Well, now I think about it, might as well go full hog and get WBSM and rear spoiler.
msu, please pay attention. |
