Exclamation does anybody know of any other front bumper lips for the 96-99 cl besides the ww one?

if anybody knows of a different lip spoiler other than the wings west one, and the spoon looking one, please let me know!, it saddens me how little aftermarket support there is for the first gen. when the body style is so bad ass.

the abs is the only other option, unless you get a 94-97 accord one and modify it

I wouldn't get the abs lip if you're lowered. I had it, looked sick but it went bye bye =[ Haven't had one problem with the wings west though!

I am guessing with some extra bracing it should stay on pretty good, especially I have never heard of his falling off or anything

It's not him, he isn't selling them, we've had a number of members' pictures stolen from here and used by ebay vendors without permission

He's thinking of rear accord lips, I don't know of any one that really fit an accord front lip, we have no choice with the rears

if you have the money you can always get body kit pieces from other cars and get them modified to fit like this guy did



I have been thinking about doing this but this is always the best looking one I have seen from any other cars and I don't want to completely copy him but may end up doing it anyway because I don't like the side skirts sitting way lower than the front and rear

I couldn't remember his nick. I do remember him saying it was a prelude rear lip, not sure about the sides (kind of looks like accord). As far as the look I would like to have on my car this it pretty much it or something very close

Yeah, I remember that car. I love it, but I think the front is a bit overkill for my tastes. The skirts and rear flow n line up perfectly though. I wonder how it'd flow with the WW front lip.

I've always wanted to get projectors and color match them too

the WW lip is made to be used with the stock side skirts so the WW would line up just like it does with the accord side skirts (not worth a crap)

I have talked to some old timer body men in my area that I know real well about urethane body kits and modifying one from an accord to fit the CL. They told me that you can not modify urethane like you can fiberglass to make it fit on other cars, but I do not think all these kits like the one I posted above is made of fiberglass is it? what are the steps to modify urethane to make like an accord kit for the CL if its close but not quite perfect fit? Are these guys just to old to even bother messing with it (they usually fix up show cars and are really good at body work) or is my understanding way off on these kits?

when you say cut do you mean it was cit and molded back together or trimmed to fit? This is what I am trying to figure out, if urethane can be like cut in half and a piece cut out if its to long and molded back together somehow

damn i havent been on the boards in a little bit. lots of new faces. but i like most of you know i was lucky enough to pick up klepto's kit. its on there but ive gone through a series of really bad paint jobs which is why i dont have any recent pictures up. anyway his kit was definitely pieced together and moded. the rear lip was cut an bonded (a very good job might i add).

i dunno. i know a lot of you guys arent into that "body kit" style front bumper like the one white car with all the pictures (a few posts before me) but i think it looks clean. there arent a lot of stuff for our cars so a lot of it is custom, and i have to say that custom shit always looks good...unless its those body kits offa ebay. garbage. imo
