Default Which front end for my 6th Gen Accord?

I'll be getting a new front bumper soon. Got a few scratches near the bottom of it. Whatever, it happens. Been debating whether I should swap to the '01-'02 bumper, or not, but I need some input from you guys. Here are some pics to help you decide.

'98-'00
- Type-R style grill
- OEM front lip


'01-'02
- black mesh

The result would have been the same if I had posted a pic of your car...point for Crono.

http://www.handaaccessories.com has the OEM kit.

$254 for the front lip, $282 for the rear lip, and $411 for the sides. All parts come painted.

those taiwanese abs are not really abs, more like hard plastic for the keyboard and phone. they are somewhat flexible but if you manage to scrape them at the right angle, they will demolishes into thousand of pieces

the oem lip is made of REAL abs, like most of the honda lower front molding/lip, ultra flexible and almost unbreakable

&lt;--still debating to put on CF lip, oem(modified) or painted abs mooogen style lip on his fat lady

red housings and shaved trunk =

I think if you got an oem 01-02 bumper w/out mesh it would look nice too.. but the way you did yours, it looks fine

98-00... with black lip, black skirts... and never the thought in mind about shaving the rear trunk or getting red housed headlights


shaved trunk And you cant be rockin that license plate if you have a girlfriend...... soooooo... who wants to take a wild guess here... who's killin who here? eh eh eh ..?



this just doesn't look clean to me... red housing?? or is that just reflection?.. eck..blah





Since the wide mouth on the 98-00 bumper makes it look like the sides of the bumper are protruding down, if the LIP was black, it would compliment the black in the middle of the mouth, giving it more definition., with some Black side skirts... too much FUkin red, looks boring...............just My opinion.

do what you want, H-T members aren't going to be driving it.

00-01 bumpers look better to me imo but that pic of the 01 bumper is just terrible. Makes it look like total ***. Mugen style lip doesnt look good on it either.
