Default Replica OEM FP lips for 98-00 Accords

Does anyone make these? They seem so hard to find used. New is a bit too expensive for me. Does anyone make an exact replica of these? I bought an ebay front lip for my 02 and want to finish off the look. I really don't want to pay $600 to do it if i don't have to.

No one makes a replica.

One of the main reasons that the OEM kit is so costly is because it comes painted already.

There is a replica kit on ebay if you are talking about the OEM kit for the 98-00's.

Link?

The replica kit that I remember seeing not too long ago looked nothing like the OEM kit.

I'd love a link to a perfect replica. I've seen alot of lip kits with little vents and stuff, nothing that is an exact copy. I understand that getting the kit through honda is a pretty good deal if you want an oem quality paint job. But i've found a body shop that can mix aresol for about $10 a can and it looks great. It's only slightly lighter but it actually looks really good and i'd like my whole bottom end to match. Almost like a very very light fade on the bottom.

I'm guessing you're just looking for the sideskirts, and rear lip because you've got a front lip already.

I know that the rear lip won't work on your current bumper, but I'm not too sure about the sideskirts.

eh.....I cant find the ebay link anymore. I dont remember what I searched under to find it.

The only difference seems to be the front lip. No one has one yet so we cant really tell how off it really is. The rest of the kit seems almost perfect though.

As for the rear fitting his year, it will fit but just wont flow as smoothly.

Exactly.

There's already a slight lip on the rear bumper straight from the factory, so that's what will throw it off a bit.

Yeah, the rear won't be perfect but it will work. I've seen it accouple of times. My front lip doesn't flow as smoothly as it could have anyway because of the same little "lip" on the front. It will fit though as will the sides. I don't know how easily but that doesn't concern me as much as getting this stuff for a reasonable price.
