2002 Honda Accord Coupe Lipkit?
I was wondering if a lip kit for my '02 accord was ever made. I have looked on many websites and asked friends, but am not getting anywhere. Does anyone else have any information? I am not looking for a body kit, just a lip kit or even just a front lip.

Re: 2002 Honda Accord Coupe Lipkit?
The problem with your coupe year is the stock front bumper cover. It's shape (while I think nice) limits where and how a lip can be attached.
The only stock lip kit that was offered from the factory can be found here:
http://www.lips-kit.com/index.php?cPath=82
However, as you can probably see, it doesn't work for your front. I don't think I've found front lips on ebay specifically for your car either.
I know there have been a few that have attached the 4dr ebay front lips to your front end, but I don't know what modification (if any) was done to make it look right. I'd keep searching around for pictures.

Re: 2002 Honda Accord Coupe Lipkit?
^ yeah, but those Replica's are made out of Fiberglass. They look good, but fragile.
Aren't many choices out there. Most peeps kinda mix and match...but , heres some choices.
HONDA OEM lip = 98-00 2 door. Polyurethane
The sides mount up, no problem. The rear can mount up to the 01-02 rear bumper, very little modification. The front lip will require Serious modification to look clean. It has been done and i've seen it, but again, very labor intensive to make that front lip look good.
WINGS WEST - Lip kits made specific to your year. Plyurethane
ebay - ABS mugen front lips and sides.

Definitely more fragile than polyurethane, though I would think it would hold up alright for most people. The front lip could be a problem especially if you're lowered, but it's the only real factory type kit and it's not like it's easy to find them in OEM material.

Problem will be finding this. If you can though, would be better than a replica.

This kit has always been too "body kit" IMO. Especially for his model. The only WW kit I like is the front piece on the Touring version for the 4dr.
ebay - ABS mugen front lips and sides.
They also can be found in polyurethane, which is recommended as the ABS doesn't really have any flex to absorb impacts. There are 3 different styles usually to choose from.

OEM Front and rears are still around. Although, they may not be the same color since they are becoming harder to find. The sides are REALLY hard to find, but they are out there.
We had a member on our V6 site that worked at a Honda Dealer and could get a full kit, colors wouldn't match though. He switched to an Acura dealer..but maybe he could snag a kit?

Otherwise it's like you said. You have to:
1)Find ALL the kit pieces (hard enough to do, especially because most people are using them).
2)Paint match and/or repair them if necessary.
3)Install them properly, and in the OP's case, modify the front to work.
Yikes...

Re: 2002 Honda Accord Coupe Lipkit?
Thank you. I found that website in my searchings as well. I really wish that my car is a little more customizable like the civics. The reason why i bought this specific one is because it only had 11300 miles on it.

Just mentioning it because you said you didn't want a body kit.
