Default Any body kits that actually work for 97accord?

I've looked through lots of body kits for the 97 accord but I don't seem to be able to find one that actually functions to hold the car to the road. Is there any kits availible that have aerodynamics in mind?

there are a few that were made in the past with aerodynamic function, but none that are really still on the market...i personally have an azect front lip (imported) which really does let you feel the difference...other than that, mugen's might be slightly functional, but again, good luck finding that one...unfortunately our accords weren't really ever taken as serious racecars, which means nobody ever mass produced functional aerodynamic parts...

Does anyone know the names of the kits or old vendors that sold it? Whats the mugen kit look like? What does your azect look like? With all the stuff being made for the imports these days I didn't figure I would have a problem finding one that actually works... Hrm...

I think lip kits for the front are the way to go, just check wings west they have some nice front lips, Greddy also has a very nice one imo. all poly urethane.


thats my beast, still in the works, its a sleeper car right now.

here are some lips





HEH


if you can find type R stuff it looks good too





happy hunting

As for full body kits Xenon looks alright, its one of the few which is poly urethane...to my knowledge, those are nice looking kits, unless your a ricer and want the aluminum gt wing

I think that the greddy lip is the only thing that looks good on the 5th gen.
