Thought I'd share the results of my accord rear lip/ prelude mudflaps install.
I saw someone else on the forum with the same setup but didn't like the way the mudflaps were mounted.. it didn't look quite right and the cut was too rough.

So I just popped the mudflaps under the lip and drilled some new holes to accommodate the now lowered mudflaps.

All in all, took 30 minutes, 4 new holes drilled for the lips, 2 holes drilled for each mudflap, as well as a couple of zip ties to secure them firmly. :]


Sorry for camera phone pix!







EDIT - Oh and wheel wet spray is GREAT for making black plastic trim look like new!

EDIT EDIT - Also, you can kinda see where the mudflap used to sit in the first picture, where the dirt outline is. Need to wash car.

 

WOW it looks clean...almost factory looking

 

looks good. Nice job

 

looking good im thinking of doing it if i wont find WWRS rear lip, hope it looks good with the rest of the kit

 

It looks pretty good. I need to find me some rear splash guards and put my front ones on as welll. Good job

good job bro, i agree that looks factory right there. definately the best accord lip job ive seen on here yet

to u

 

Haha .. cleared out your plate in 1 pic, but left the other open.

Where did you get your Accord rear lip at ? Also, I don't see any cuts in the middle piece .. did you just bolt up the whole lip to your rear bumper without any problems ?

 

Trucks have mudflaps. Cars have splash guards.

do the "splash gaurds" cover where you have to cut the accord lip?

....mud flaps


also, where did you find the rear flaps at?

(looks good)

 

that tire shine stuff prolly gonna gonna make your "mudflaps" and lip a dirt magnet after a few days

 

very nice, I was looking around for a black 4th gen that has this done and it finally popped up lol. very clean looking, I was thinking of using the accord rear guards but this looks perfect with the lowered prelude guards. now the only thing I'm torn between is what front lip to get, but I'll worry about all that stuff after I fix my oil-pissing problem friday finally

ps. did u flat-black/bumper coat the rear lip, or is that the original finish?

ps2. hmm, I wonder what the oem accord front lip looks like, off to the search button!

-l8r

 

man that lip looks great

 

Thanks for all the compliments!

AmauryR: It's the original finish. It looked pretty old and dusty because I took them off my bro's beat up 95 accord. A hose and some tire shine fixed that up nicely :]

joinerneal: I've been driving for a few days and it still looks fine. I think it's because I didn't just spray the tire shine on directly; I sprayed onto a rag and wiped on a thin layer.

shaylude: I got the flaps from honda dealership. $35 :]

JDM.Brown: *shrug*

street_ride14: Yeah I know, I forgot to clear out the plate. But eh, too lazy to open up photoshop again. I got the lip off my bro's beat up 95 accord. Honda wanted $120 for all 3 pieces!!

Zip ties were used because the inside bolts for the flaps didn't line up to anything in the wheel well; it was just kind of suspending. So I zip tied it to the nearest hole with heavy duty ties and it works fine.

And yes, the flaps cover up the cut that you need to make to the ends of the lips.

And here are some chops showing where new bolts were drilled and where cuts were made:






Hope this answers some questions.

 

looks good man. i did mine the exact same way about a month ago. got tired of looking at the cut piece. plus it gives the car a slightly wider look.
