While you did post in the Accord forum, you're in the wrong gen of the Accord forum as that is an 03+ Accord

I don't see what the big deal with carbon fiber is ... just stick to stock parts and repaint it or something for that kind of money

The problem, if you insist on going that way - is this.

For whatever reason you choose, the car will NOT have the same fit & Finish tolerances of the factory pieces without a LOT of additional body work. That being said, you might as well choose either fibreglass or urthane pieces since the CarbonFibre effect will be lost.
Unless you enjoy driving a car which looks like it was assembled by a blind man.

LOL!

Personally, I like the fit & finish of OEM parts. Just my $.02
