I emailed the guys at Ronjon Wheels about a bodykit for the 1st Gen crew. They have a nice one for the 2nd Gen and are willing to create one for the 1st Gen, here is their response.

if you want, arrange a group buy for 25 kits, and we can produce them with deposits, but 2 generations behind is kinda risky to build them without demand.

 

Great, so 25 people on this forum will have the same body kit! That's what I call originality

 

How many people on this forum have the Wing West Lip on this forum . I'd say a large amount have those too.

 

dont really like bodykit cars, but if it looks nice..then... Well look at it this way, only 25 people will look the same.

 

Here is what the 2nd Gen kit looks like..

I think its a good idea. Who cares if 25 people have the same kit. Most CL's have 18's, a pro-kit drop, and the Lip. We all look the same anyways. And this way, more than likely, you ll be the only CL in town with a kit.

 

id like to see what it would look like before i decide id like to buy it, it has to be tasteful, not ricey, and defently not somthing that would make our car look like trash.

 

kinda like that TL front end. IMO that is some hot steamy vomit.
CL looks awesome tho. and look at it this way, 25 people out of maybe a million CL owners will have this kit. that makes it pretty damn original in my book.

 

i would be interested but would have to see what it looks like first

 

agreed. I would be interested but maybe a photochop or something would help sway me (plus, Id need to start saving !)

if it looked like that 2nd gen kit, even i'd be interested, it looks pretty damn sweet.

 

no way to get 25 ppl... lol

couldn't even find 10 ppl for the c/f hood.. and u want 25 ppl for the kits??

 

25 same kit VS 9,999,999,999 ww lips

 

well from the look of the 2nd gen kit...ronjon will probably make a nice kit for 1st gen as well

 

What's the estimated cost? I'll be in if it's really clean looking. And I want a rear lip, not like that 2nd gen one.

 

how much is this thing gonna cost??

..i'd be in if it doesn't cost to much and if it looks good..

 

I agree.... who cares if 25 people have the same kit? I make my car look nice for me and the ladies NOT the GUYS on the board.

That kit is so freakin sweet but ill have to see how it looks on the 1st gen and how much its gonna cost....

If it looks good, the price is right and the guy takes credit card or paypal im 100% in!

 

wow, that rear lip for the 2nd gen is pretty sweet

 

i say they should sketch it first...then take a vote...and then we'll see what happens...but i'm down with a kit if it looks tough!

 

There won't be 25 people who actually buy it.

 

This is how much it might cost:

Guys Guys, If I were to do one, I would design it specifically for the 1st Gen CL with input from the boards. this thread alone soundsm like interest alone. When I have free time, i will come up with a concept bodykit for the 1st Gen. Gimme a week, I'm real busy with whats out already. If it's an add on lip spoiler like the one for the 2nd gen CL, the prices would be the same, but if you guys really want to cut costs, I can do a front lip only and you can mix and match the sides and rear.

 

it would be nice if you can design one specifically for the 1st Gen CL for us. But i think CL Platano ideal is great too.

 

He just said that you doof.

Hey Rondog, I like the design of the 2nd gen, but I don't like the part that goes above the body. If you make one for the 1st gen, can you make it attach to just the lower parts of the car? I like the looks of the TSX kit...or even the Mugen TSX kit. Can you design something that looks similar?

 

Here's a Euro R lip...well it's more than the lip, buy you get the idea. I know the foglight portion is not going to happen, but I liked it for my photoshop.

By the way. Does anyone know how to change the color? Any way to get it to match?

 

PSSSSSSSST PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST ok ready? 97 accord front and skirts, it has to be shaved. 04 accord 2 DOOR rear bumper. the results? look at my www ;x

 

C'mon let's be optimistic hopefully when they draw it all up it will come out like something the majority of us wants.

 

Something like what you already have for the 2nd Gen CL with a option of a Veilside type rear or an add on and M3 Type side skirts. Just a thought.

Thanks

 

I think a front and rear lip would be a good idea, being that their are some people on this forum like me with a front and side's already, that could use a rear lip that had exact fitment with no molding/cutting to get it to fit.

 

well.. i'm also the one who wants a lip kit..

just get the quote first.. it really depends on the price..

dont forget to get the shipping cost too

 

im interested...cant wait to see it though..

 

In regards to a quote, if it was a lip kit, just use the 2nd gen CL lip kit for pricing here:

And don't forget that we had wheels especially made for the 1st Gen CL:


And Grilles:

too late to edit my last post?

 

I really like the design of the second gen lip kit. If you could do something similar for the 1st gen's that be awsome. We been longing for a nice clean lip kit for awhile, but the aftermarket won't support us at all. When do you expect to have the preliminary drawings up?

I was also wondering if the grilles came in all black mesh/trim?

 

Play with the "Levels" but you have to select only the portion you want the color changed, using the lasso tool.

 

I'd buy the kit if looks SWEET. Photoshop first to get an idea before production.


QUESTION:

If the kit looks sweet, how many of us in here would buy it ( wave )?
