if you don't mind me asking, what year is your accord
and how much did you spend for that kit?
I have a 02 and thinking about getting that kit. That
kit looks cool.

I think schmiddy has a 99 and got his kit from

newwayautosports.com

If you have an 02, you will need:
98-00 Front Bumper
98-00 Rear Bumper
98-00 Sedan Hood, after market or OE.


The bumpers are fairly well priced, but you may be better off finding the hood used from someone running a carbon fiber hood now.

You may want to see if anyone running a 98-00 car would want to swap you for your hood and bumpers. Someone may just want the newer look sans kit.

Is the hoods different on 98-00 and 01-02?
Do you know what the cost is on the rear and front lips.

If you do an online search for autopart, you can usually find some places selling hoods, headlight, fenders, and bumpers.

I assume these parts are aftermarket replacements used by body shops. Bumper run about $200 ea. Hoods can also be found too, I'm unsure of the quality of the sheetmetal in the hood. I wouldn't worry too much about the bumpers as painting and priming can hide most cosmetic sins. But poor metal stamping may be bad. I'd consult a local body shop that would paint your kit. They may be able to find used parts for you.

I have a thread somewhere on this topic, the non-OE 98-00 bumpers with links.

yes, but you have to make sure you get all the piece you need.
The V6's get a nice filler plate that covers up the mounting flash on the bottom. This also give the 6cylinger exhaust tip pronouncements.

I think the 98-00 bumper looks slimmer though.

I am thinking about getting the 02 bumper but not the V6 version I don't need the dual exhaust exit thing it has just the regular ex rear bumper is kool for me. Thanks for the feedback Chad btw have you seen anyone do this? I did the front conversion from 00 to 02 and that was a straight fit.

How about getting a WW rear lip for your 00 coupe like MrChads instead of the 02 bumper? I don't know how it would look with the rest of the car, just cause I don't know what you have done, but just an idea.
