Oof, good question. I kept it pretty simple with my order - only the flat front & side splitters with only the small winglets on the front that I'm still not sure if I'll install or leave flat. Plus the rear add on diffuser piece. I didn't go for the front & side extensions that run up the body. But they are prompt if you FB messenger them. Awesome customer service.
their website mentions 1-2 months before delivery. Is this case for the gloss black? I saw the color matching paint, not sure if this would look better but it’s interesting

Yeah, very interesting. I didn't ask specifically, but did notice the lead time as it's made to order & I went with gloss black as well. I will follow up with them & let ya know!

Don't mean to bud in but what exactly are you guys talking about I'm lost? Body mods?
No prob! Yes, body add on's. You can check it out on their website - Artwork Bodyshop in Canada just north of NY.

Nice I just found them. Thank you. So they already have parts for integra type s? I only see 2023 integra.

the Wrap guys didn’t like how the lines meet above the glass and roof on that little section. So they left it white, wanted me to see it and see what I thought. Im Undecided, I think I like it. I’ll just stare at it till I figure it out. 🤪

When I got the roof wrapped on my A-Spec + Tech, the installer said that little space wasn’t part of their original quote and got me for an extra $150 to wrap it—opportunists.

Only thing I see on there is the type s spoiler
I usually just type Integra in the search bar & scroll down - there's 5 options that you can also customize.

another curiosity, artwork body shop uses HDPE material, I’ve specified hdpe conduits for various projects and it’s durable. Will they tell you the weight of the splitter kits?

overall weight could influence decisions. I think the average density of hdpe and carbon fiber are comparable around 0.04-0.06 lbs/in^3. I suppose if we’re after looks and downforce over performance then it doesn’t really matter.
Let us know if you get any more information :)

You're pulling stuff right outta my brain! 😁 I don't specify HDPE, but do specs for a commercial low slope roofing manufacturer to wrap some of these pipe penetrations & try to soak up as much tech info as possible.

I asked this question to them before ordering to which they replied that the full kit is around 25 lbs. & so I figure by adding lightweight forged wheels & tacking these body pieces on that I'll get the looks & hopefully some downforce to some extent out of them & it will even out. I'm saving about 40lbs just on the wheels altogether.

Alexandre isn't on here (I believe, but could be wrong, & is the prototype guy for the kit that you see with the white ITS on the website photos) but he is on the Type S FB forum & active in the private chat & he claims that you can stand & bounce up & down on it & it won't break - just flex a little. I was curious about the rear diffuser hanging low being that I live in a small train town. Sounds like if anything should happen, the Artwork stuff might not break, but maybe any unwanted pressure could compromise the fiberglass panels. He reassured me that he also lives around train tracks & has plenty of clearance & not to be concerned at all with it. I was curious how they get the paint to adhere the best on HDPE, though.

Thank you very much for that sir
No prob! I think I was having problems navigating the site the other way, too & just tried the search bar.

this is great information. It’s great you’ve had exposure to HDPE. When I specified it, it was for burial of fiber optic cable over long distances. The advantages it has over PVC is it can withstand large amounts of load pressure, extreme temperatures so it wouldn’t crack in sub freezing temperature allowing water seepage into fiber cable.

that being said, it’s not indestructible. But to be used as splitters, it’ll withstand bumps and punches better without cracking like other plastics or carbon fiber. As far as I know I’ve seen HDPE fabricated in different colors with paint stripes on it. Doesn’t seem to be a huge issue.
if we were to have artwork body shop paint the splitter kit, they’d have to paint match it very well. Could look very nice if they’re up to that task. Hope to see some people get colored options.

25lbs isn’t bad, was afraid it’d be 50lbs+. You’d still come out ahead with lighter forged wheels as it affects driving and corner much more than just shedding weight straight up.

You may want to test on a track or straight way without the kit then with it on. See if makes a difference. Either way looks great!

They confirmed the side splitters will not fit with the splash guards.
