That's going to be the only option for the coupe currently.

Do you think something like this would work? If it did I would still have to go get it painted, and by the time I get it painted it would probably be around the same price as college hills. Also this same kit at college hills is around $1000 including shipping, and from Honda its at least $350 more. Do you think there's a difference in the two kits? Does anyone have this kit that can post some pictures, I'm undecided right now just wonder if its worth the money and how much better the car would look.

I only know what I've gathered from all the different threads that involved College Hills parts, and have yet to see any negatives.......
As for as Honda parts I think they're quality as well.
So I'd say just decide from the looks and value and pick the best option for you...... I'm pretty sure CHS's stuff is no mod's required for the most part.

"We want all consumers to know that there will always be minor sanding, shaving, cutting, and/or filling prior to installing Extreme Dimensions parts. Also, the black primer finish must be sanded and other prep work will be required prior to painting."
This ^ is the kicker with that carid stuff. The honda kit is painted with honda factory paint and ready to be installed. Some of those aftermarket pieces will cost more in labor/cutting/priming/paint/ than the actual oem stuff. HFP stuff also has a 3yr/36k mile warranty on the parts, so if you ever have a paint issue or whatever, it's covered.

So if I go get the kit from Honda I'll the warranty which could come in handy. If I go with college hills I won't have the warranty, so I know going with Honda I'll pay at least $350 more, you think it's worth paying Honda the more money?

I'd buy it and install it yourself. I don't think I've ever seen a single person having to warranty a honda body kit for paint issues.

i have a 2013 coupe and my side skirt mount fell off twice in two years (installed by honda) same thing happened to my brother. So warranty would be nice
wait just read paint issue... So no
