Ok in an attempt to somewhat de-ricify my car, I'm weighing some new options for the exterior. I'm planning on selling my front bumper (C-West fiberglass) and 3-beam projectors for the stock paintmatched bumper(maybe get the front lip that matches my side and rear skirts) and some JDM blackhousing headlights, as well as the 17's for some lightweight 16's. I may also be getting a CF hood but that's still up in the air.

My question is, with the JDM headlights and corners, and my car being a color similar to electron blue pearl, would polished silver wheels look okay? Or should I look for something more like a gunmetal?

And what about the rest of my lighting, front and rear bumper lights? Should I leave them stock, clear, smoke tinted?

Here's my car in it's current state for a better visual image:




thanks in advance for any advice

 

take it from one of the biggest rice **** on here......

i actually like that front bumper.....i would get the jdm headlights
if you do get rid of that bumper get a greddy lip for the stock bumper
DONT get a carbon hood.....keep everything the same color and clean
on the wheels i would do a nice bronze or gold wheel on that color


but those are my opinions

o yea and i see you are from louisville....do you know corey hibbs??
has a red evo on volk ce28n's?
good guy

I sure do know him, he's a real nice guy, nice car too. You wouldn't happen to be related now would you?

As far as the front bumper, I'd love to keep it, but it's becoming a huge hassle. I've had to get it repainted once already because I cracked it on a driveway, and now if I keep it I'll have to repaint it AGAIN because somebody backed into me, not to mention it has some stress cracks in the paint. Fitment was kinda iffy to begin with. And I'm tired of having to angle the car everywhere I go for fear of tearing it off

As far as front lips, I was thinking of the Wings West bottom lip that goes with the side skirts and rear lip i have. It's not extreme, I don't think it hangs very low, and I think it looks good.

Never thought about bronze wheels, blue/bronze has always seemed more of a Suby thing than a Honda thing.

That the front lip, I think it will hang a little higher than the aftermarket, but I can't remember how low the stock bumper actually sits. Do you have a pic of the Greddy lip? I can't remember what it looks like

 

there ya go bro.....its a really nice lip

 

Shoot call me crazy but I like how it looks now. But if you want to change it up I'm sure it will look hot w/ the lip and headlights. I agree w/ Hibbs on the CF hood. Bad move unless ofcourse you color match

 

 

I think that kit looks pretty damn nice. The rims and the headlights are the only parts of it I don't really like. Like hibbz0r said, those 1pc headlights would look

 

i like the kit, never seen one like it on an accord but if anything greddy lip all the way

 

nice kit, but i dont like the wing from the looks of it, the lights or the wheels. nice color too
