Default Ideas for my 96 Accord LX

I wanted to get a Lip Kit for my Accord but have no luck finding one and do not want to go to Ebay being that I'm skeptical. I was looking at this body kit.. Shogun Kit. looks pretty clean and converting the tail lights to the Altezza (Lexus is300) i plan to do the tail lights myself. Any suggestions/websites i could refer to for more information. I am also going to purchase some suspension parts from TEIN. The car is in perfect running condition, flawless on the outside/inside, garage kept/paint intact. Any help would be appreciated.

ok i went to the CD thread and i saw really nice accords there, with the exception of one.. I think it was that copper looking accord with the holes in the back bumper (what are they for? are they called diffusers? i heard that from somewhere) but none the less it looks really ricey.. i see all the people around my way with them... does not look clean but anyway i could post on there being that it said i did not have permission too so i guess i have to do something in order to post. Anyway i just wanted to know where i could get a walkthough on installing the Altezza tailights on my accord..they'd look sexy. Searched through pages and could not find anything. Has anyone attempted it.. it looks really nice and clean with them on.

Yes, they are called a "diffuser". The theory behind them is that when the car is fast enough in the 1/4 mile, it reduces drag helping a bit with ET's.

The whole converting to an IS 300 is "ricey" to me. But, it should be kinda awkward fitting the trunk lights, IMO, it isn't worth it. The tails themselves should just plug right in though

How is Altezza Lights ricey on an accord? They look beautiful. They look exactly the same as the stocks ones being that they bolt right in.. It would be ricey if i had to do modifications to the back end.

I said IMO. I wasn't telling you not to, I was just saying what I thought. If you think they look beautiful, go ahead

And to get the IS 300 lights how would you not modify to get trunk lights?

Please... don't ruin your car... body kit is rice, m3 mirrors are rice, altezza tail lights are great, as long as they are on a stock IS300.
Just put a 94/95 lip on your car (mod, which you could do yourself), keep everything the way it is and drop.
I'm sure your car ain' fast nor furious.... so, i think you should stay away from that kind of "show" look....
