How will my car look? (pictures)
Well guys... I got big 17" rims like you all suggested
Current:
Full Kombat Body Kit w/ Cheap (very cheap) Single Stage Paint
It's been rough, transitioning from a CR-V with 8" ground clearance to a BB2 with 4".
The Original
Front bumper is pretty ****ed up, and it is the only reason why I'm not lowered (due to the current 4" clearance... it will be 2" if I do).
Future:
Honda Factory Style Bumper - Primered
Honda 94-95 Accord Front Lip - Primered
Front OEM Bumper w/ 94-95 Accord Lip
What do you guys think? Will it flow? I will lower it with Sport Lines & HPs.
Should I keep the front Kombat bumper or go OEM style - primered?
I will not remove the whole kit... the skirts are moulded and is costly to return to normal.

Re: How will my car look? (Azxster)
Don't ask us what you should do it's your car bud, do with it as you wish. I personally like the OEM look, I plan on just getting a CF lip for my car for the front and no more. Obviously if you get a OEM front bumper paint it, don't leave it primered. They are also fairly cheap, I ordered one from ebay and it was a PERFECT fit. I hd to modify it a lil bit to install my OEM fog lights, but it was good and only costed like 80 shipped I think. It comes black and ready to paint. Or they will paint it for you for an extra 100 I think it was.

Who suggested that??
I know I'm a jerk, but it looks like your car needs some de-ricing. Get good quality OEM bumpers and paint them to match the rest of the car and loose the sideskirts. Something like 15" or 16" wheels will help your car's performence more than 17"...

Accord OEM side skirts fit perfectly fine on 4th Gen Preludes? If so, I would get them too!
My ideal setup would be 94-95 Accord Type R lip, 94-95 OEM sideskirts, and 96-97 rear lip.

Roger, do you have any pics? Do you know if the rear lip fits without too much modification/or any modification at all?
Are 94-95 Accord Sedan and coupe sideskirts the same length?
If you have pics of his car, please post them!!

The 96-97 Accord has a piece that is uniform in height throughout the length of the bumper.

Seems like most people like the 94-95 rear lip. I definitely don't. The 96-97 looks more complete, uniform, and it hides some of the parts under the car better. Cleaner IMO.

No pics I see the car all the time when I am working. Hopefully I'll catch him on lunch break again and take some pics with my phone. Its a sweet very clean car all black carbon fiber hood, trunk, and sunroof insert. Gunmetal 18's with a polished lip

Re: (md23vtec)
I have the 3 peice rear lip and the accord front lip...not sure the year. I have been looking at these side skirts from the same accord that I got my rear lip from and I am not sure if they would fit...They are from a 4door and I think they might be tooo long. But I am half tempted to see....
