Default Body Kit, Exhaust, Headlight, and Door Pannel/Vent questions

Ok being a new member since Im limited to 5 posts per day I thought I would try to fit as much in one as possible. I was wondering if anyone has bought a body kit from http://www.extremedimensions.com I saw a link to there on Cardomain and really like some of there kits that seem cheap. Well I probably wouldnt buy a kit as I dont want the same style front and rear but same thing. Are there kits any good? Do you guy's know how much it would cost to paint them the stock dark green the 96 Accord EX came in? Also do you know how much it would cost to paint the whole car again the same color?

Ok with exhausts I have seen a few dual exhausts on accords locally and a few in magazines. I know Greddy makes one but I cant find it anywhere for sale and really don't want to pay that much. Anyone know where I can get one for a 96 Accord EX 4cyl? Also what do you guys think about the Mozart muffler Nopi Online sells? It looks pretty nice I want a good muffler that sounds deep but still legal. I really like the look of that one I would like that in a dual better though. Is it street legal?


Ok with the headlights. I had some Eurolite Super Plasma bulbs in my accord and the first month or 2 one burnt out. I called Crutchfield which is where I bought them and they sent me a new set. Soon after I got that set the other one burnt out. Well I figured no big deal Ill just replace it with the extra one since I only needed 1 and they sent me a replacement for both. I replaced it. I thought well maybe I just got bad ones before because these seemed brighter also. Well then these also burnt out a few months later. I just gave up and bought some stock ones and put them back in . The had lasted for about 6 years or maybe 7 before and only 1 burnt out then so I think 2 months is stupid waste of money. Well I liked those a lot and they seemed a lot brighter even though some ppl say you cant see as much with these headlights. Well I thought you could see more. I would prefer a little bluer but they were fine and I like the white also. Well one of my friends put some Eurolite Fusion I think bulbs in her Dodge Caravan. They look awesome and I love the look and she has had them a few months and they havent burnt out. Well do you think if I buy these they will last atleast a year or 2? She had an extra set she said I could have but they were 9007 not 9006 so I gave them back to her. I actually thought they said Crystal something on the box but they look like the same box as the Fusions so I Think they must have been that. I see those on eBay cheap. Also it said 55W=80W and I emailed the guy and he said they are 55W is this correct. She had 80W but I don't want those as others have said they can melt your wiring so I want to keep the 55W do you think these are really 55W?


Also does anyone know where I can get cheap tan door panels or the vent on the passenger side that is in the dash? I broke the vent when my foot hit it a few years ago and my dog has chewed some holes in the side pannels. Thanks. I see mostly grey ones used so I was wondering about where to get tan ones without paying full price but I may have to.

this website isn't really into the whole body kit thing...the few who are on this board and into that are in the cosmetic and appearance forum...you generally won't get a good response from this section of honda-tech though...

again, we are more performance oriented...dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder generally is not a performance upgrade...check out mkteller8's custom exhaust kits and you should find everything you need there...

if you want good light output, and also want the HID look, check out sylvania siverstars...they are some of the few aftermarket blue tint headlights that produce more light than stock...i think these might make you happy...but if not, you may just want to upgrade to a full HID kit, as you will eventually be paying just as much with burning out your cheap ricer bulbs...
