Um, wow, you're definetly not going to find one in a junkyard. Why would you think that? First of all, it's a pain in the ass to unbolt off of the car. Second of all, I'd say chances are about 0% that you'll even find one, ignoring the condition it may be in.
Now to be realistic: www.handaaccessories.com generally has the best prices. I got my kit there for under $500 on sale. Unfortuanetly, they haven't had a sale in almost a year. You can also do a search on www.parts.com.
I'd advice against getting the wings west kit. You can install both yourself easily, so that isn't an issue. But the WW kit will cost like $600, then you have to get it painted. That paint will not be the quality that Honda uses to paint their underbody kit. Then there's the fact that the WW kit is fiberglass and cracks easily and the Honda kit is plastic. Plus, IMO, the OEM kit looks a lot better and more subtle. OEM kit resale value > WW kit resale value.
Thanks but the WW kit is Urathane while the Honda kit is a harder crackable polymer. Had 2 sets of Handa-Accessories Side skirts cracked in the mail via UPS.
I have the WWest front and rear and honda-acc. sides. The honda sides fit better then the WWest units. But I like the flaring the WW kit provided. Your body shop can do a way better job of painting anything then Honda did. Niether body kit adds resale value period.
Get either kit, you can get a Wings West kit painted for relatively cheap if you plan to install it yourself.
New Way Autosports sells WW kits cheap.
