Default Body Kits

I am thinking of putting this body kit on my 97 accord because it is made by Xenon and it is urethane. Does anyone have any opinions on this body kit?

I like it. It's not too crazy and seems to fit the lines of the car. Just don't go yellow, ok? :happysad:

I think it looks pretty good in terms of body kits. Just make sure you paint it after you install it.

I usually don't like body kits but that one doesn't look that bad. It's clean, doesn't have a huge gap in the front, overall nice. Go for it, but like Josh said don't go yellow. Go for a nice gunmetal, blue, maybe burgandy color and it would look really good. :thumbup:

My car is already a reddish burgundy color. Now I just need to know what rims would look good and what size wheels to put on it. I think that the rims that is on the car in the picture looks pretty good so I am trying to look for some like those but I am also kind of leaning towards forged wheels because they are stronger. These are the wheels I had in mind. They are made by Blitz.

I'm not a big fan. WCS is right, the kit doesn't match the lines of the Accord. This looks like something that would be perfect for a 1st gen Tiberon.

just a thought to consider:

How much is the kit? how much will it cost to get mounted/painted? since your car is a 97 are you going to repaint the entire car so that the paint all matches (fade) or are you going to get the car wetsanded so that the paint comes back?

now how much is your car worth?

is it really worth the cost to you to have that body kit on your car?

wcs said that the body kit does seem to match the lines of the car. Also the paint that is on my car is in excellent condition and still glossy. The body kit costs about $600 at Andys Auto Sport.[/FONT]
