not sure what to go with

[EyesofFreedom]

^^^ I agree!

Body kits are for show cars and ricers...(I know I am gonna make someone mad with that for sure!)

Now give me a nice seat of front and rear lips and some not too extreme side skirts and tint the windows and you take the car from stock to stock but not stock...plus it does not drastically reduce ground clearance or affect resale as a body kit does..

Like the old saying...

sometimes less is more!

i agree now someone is gunna get really mad but i personally hate big body kits. ive only seen like 1 or 2 that i've liked i think that they are a waste of money and make some cars look ricey.. i like the stock but not stock look with a nice set of lips and side skirts as well. but i do like the body kit i posted bcuz it does change the look of your car but, not much at all it still kinda has a stock look to it. it didnt change many of the major curves that make the 94-97 accord look so nice.. but the color can go lol i dont like yellow cars.

yea that's one i was thinking about....i think i'm pretty convinced that i'm just going to go with a lip kit, only thing is with all the lip kits i found, the side skirts are super ugly, at least i think so

It depends on the kit. I like one of the Wings West kits b/c it's got a bigger grille opening for more cooling. And it's urethane. But I agree that most kits are for ricers. The 'shogun' kits sure are.

Well you dont always have to buy a full kit...

Find the front lip you like, then the rear, and then the side skirts...as long as the have the same style of curves or angles it will flow together...they dont have to be by the same manufacturer...

You can also buy a piece at a time making it easier than buying a whole kit!

[dre5491]

but to make it look nicer i would buy the front lip, side skirts, then rear lip just cuz i think if you had just a front and rear lip on it it would look kinda stupid lol i kno it would be temporary but still thats how i'd do it.

Edit: that or just not put any of it on until you have all of the pieces.

I am a fan of the Buddy Club 1 and 2 kits. I have got the Buddy Club 2 on my 01 Accord coupe with 2" drop springs and I love it. I have got about 4 or 5 inches of ground clearance and I love it.
So I guess Dre and Eyes don't like the kit on my baby...lol

Well, I never said that I haven't really seen your car wit the full kit on it.

Body kits are fine as long as they are not the big show offy ones. They are what all the muscle car freaks stereotype all import tuners ricey/rice. This kid as school as a mid to late 90's eclipse with a massive body kit and a wing you could use as a diving bored. Its white with blue racing stripes. And I think that it is one of the ugliest eclipses I have ever seen in my life. And I'm a pretty big fan of DSM I mean cuz I do own a Dodge. I think some of them look okay. A select few look awsome. But the majority are too big and ugly. I like the ones that don't really change the natural curves of the car that the manufacturer originally intended for the car.

so primetime...when you got your accord lowered 2 inches, what other mods did you have to do? or did the springs just go straight on without having to do any other work

Right after I lowered the car I took it for a ride around the block and learned that I had to change my struts as well. Three of the four blew out with only a few turns. I went with the Tokico Blues and they are a great choice if you like a stiff controlled ride.
Also something that should be done (even though I haven't) you should also get an alignment.
