just wondering guys which do u like more 94-95 or 96-97 im planning on geitng a new stock bumper shave the bumper lences and put a lip on... but which bumper looks better

 

definitely the 96-97 style. 94-95 looks like the new Si front bumper and i think it looks a lot better with a lip on it than the other.

 

anyone cool enough to post pics of the diffrence


im too lazy and too dumb to look

 

This is a 96 97 above.

And this one is for a 94 95.

Notice the difference of the bumper lenses sizes and the bumper opening in the middle. The 94/95 opens and brings the opening down all the way to its lip while the 96/97 is more like a whole in the middle of the front bumper.

 

does a 96-97 even have a lip ???


so u guys would say the 96 bumper is nicer then the 95

 

Yes, it does have a lip, but it does not stick down the bumper.
It is common to see 96/97 bumpers with the OEM 94/95 bumper lip.

I think that the 94/95 bumper looks really nice with a greddy lip.

 

how would a 96-97 bumper look any diffrent then the 95 if it had the gready lip as well

 

I'll get a pic for you.... gimme 5 minutes...

 

k buddy

 

This a greddy lip on a 96 97.... (above)
Below, is a 94 95 with a greddy lip.


Look at them and you will see that the greddy lip for 94 95 has a design that flows better with the bumper opening at 94 95 accord.

 

BTW>>> I only posted these pics to show the example, I do not own any of these cars... I just took the pics from the accord pics thread!

 

k yeah ur right the 95 does look better with that lip but i dont really like it because it has those holes its like another set of bumper lenses spots on the lip it looks wierd


any other lips u can show me example of ?

 

This one below is a Seibon, some are carbon fiber and can cost up to 300 bucks, and some are plastic.

This one below is a "mugen" style, can cost 100 and looks pretty good too.

This is a "type R" style, that can also cost 100 bucks.

This white car (..nice one ah?!) is a 96/97 with a 94/95 OEM bumper lip.

The last one is a "wings west" lip


All of the photos above were taken from the accord/pics thread!!!!

 

wats that lip that sticks out like an hmm like that '' L ''

the bottom sticks out like its sharp will cut ppls feet if u hit them lol u know wat i mean

also ones that have lil sticks on them that make it look like its a reinforcment to hold the lip with the bumper i think those r sick looking

 

Dawg... just go to https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1448427 and look at the cars....
The "mugen" and "type R" can be found at http://www.ebaymotors.com and aren't expensive.
The one that is like "L" is a Wings West one, and you can find that one as well at ebaymotors.
It's late... and I'm tired.....
after posting all these pics to you... i think you can send me a check to my house...lol
Peace out bro'... i'm gonna sleep...

i have a 96 accord and this summer i plan on doing a 94-95 front bumper conversion, i like the way the 94-95 bumpers look, i already have the 94 grill so might as well complete the front end i think the 96-97 bumper looks funny. i painted my stock lip and it still looks weird. i dunno could be just me.

 

quick question since we on the lip topic.. if i have a 95 with the oem lip and i want to put .. say a seibon or mugen lip on, does the oem lip need to be taken off? i believe yes but just need a confirmation

goodjob on posting all those pics and labeling each one..

 

Don't know the exact lip in that picture but Wings West made a lip they called the Touring Style and it sorta looked like that. Here's a picture I found on a quick Google search.



Also, do what you think looks best. Don't let others opinions sway your decision of what going on your car.

 

yeah thats the lip i like uts the same lip i posted of that blue accord obove at least i think its the same lip

 

I can't thank you enough for posting those pics. I'm in the middle of figuring out exactly what lip to go with.

 

so where woiuld i find this Touring Style lip its not on the wings west site

 

try a google search for "Wing West Touring Style Lip". I forgot which site I clicked on but it was like $219.

edit:
Actually try searching for "Wing West Touring Lip for Accord" seemed to turn up better results.

Bodykits Northwest is where I found that picture though.

Yes, the OEM lip must come off, otherwise the new lip won't fit properfly.

This model is a little different from the models found in the US, so... don't even worry about that lip... you won't find it and it won't fit your car! That blue car is a accord type R (the real deal)....
