Body Kits

Has anyone tried to use a Accord body kit (either 96-97 or 98-01) on their car. I did my research and it looks like our dimensions fit closest to the 98-02 models except the length of the CL is just a little longer than the Accord. Should I be looking at Accord body kits or does anyone have a link to 1997 Acura CL body kits. The feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Also, looking at hoods. (carbon fiber, etc) Any size similar to Accord or does anyone know where I can find CL carbon fiber hoods or other hood types.

There are no kits for our cl's yet except the wings west front lip. Theres a pic of that in my sig if you want to see it. There is one company that makes a hood, but it doesn't fit too great. A few people have it, hopefully they can tell you the brand. There are a few CL's on this site with accord kits, but it takes alot of professional cutting and fiberglassing to make them fit on a CL.
Got any pics of your car? I want to check it out.

They make a Carbon Fiber hood for our car, search around for it. As for body kits, its been done bro! VeilsideCL, Casper and pimpin2.2cl all have them. If i forgot anyone, sorry! They are from a 94-97 accord and need some heavy molding, but come out great if done correctly. Rmstoico molded the kits for casper and pimpin, pm him if you are interested. It will cost you a preatty penny though!

so let me get this right. side skirts 96-97 Accord. Front bumper and back bumper 98-02? I might just become the forum guinea pig for this and just go for the kit. Wish me luck!

Sorry man but the bumpers off the 98-02 accord wont fit ... kits off the 96-97 accord will fit our cars WITH some modifications but as it was posted before it will cost a pretty penny to do. The side skits though bolt on without too much trouble. Hate to say this but if you wanted to kit your car a CL wasn’t the way to go unless you don’t mind forking out some serious cash … But if you do end up kitting your CL you’ll become one of the CL greats

I keep hearing that the side skirts aren't to much trouble...If they bolt on, they bolt on and work great...If they don't then they don't fit and need to be modified to fit...so what is it

I have the Xenon Sides, the urethane are amazing and look good, dont post your stupid "this thread is worthless without pics" either you fags because I am trying to get some pics up for you all. I recomend the WW type W sides though, match better with the front lip.
