ground effects, body kit

Does any company make a body kit/ground effects/front lip/skirts anything for our CLs. I have seen a front lip, but it was not a drastic change and i couldnt even tell them apart. I have seen a bumper on a CL, it was very open mouth looking. I have no idea what it is called.

Anything that will fit our cars out there.

Also, what do you guys recommend for performance parts for our cars. Intake, exhuast?

I havent seen anything made for the CL except for that small front lip and believe me i have looked for stuff. You can use the side skirts off a 94-97 accord coupe i believe. The bumper you saw on a CL was probably a custom accord bumper. Was it silver by any chance?

Nope...the wings west kit is the only one that we have for body kits. Sorry..I think some accord model kits fit, but I am not too sure.

As for mods, if you had the money, you could go with headers, springs, exhaust, intake..Im sure there are others out there.

I figured i would post this to give you an idea of how a custom accord bumper would look.

Someone over on another message board (Mods, can i give out a link to another site w/a message board? I heard someone got kicked off H/A.net for this and i dont want to get kicked off here) said just to get a front off a 94-97 Accord and have it molded to your front. He said it is usually only like 100-150 dollars more. Im not sure if that is true or not, it sounds kinda low to me so make sure you check it out before ordering.

They are 17" right??? How much would something like these rims cost?

Its the same car. But the bumper in the first picture looks a lot better. I guess, it looks better just with the bumper not with all that other crap.

do you like it.

If you're giving out a link to help someone out, feel free, what we don't want is promotion of a website. Since you'll be posting it as a resource....definately feel post it!

I guess it looks pretty good in the first pic but im not liking the other one, RuskiBusiness. It is def. different but it looks like you loose your turn signals so that cant be good.

-Thanks for your answer juniorbean

Yeah I remember that guy. He was selling all his things because he has a family now of his own...he was going to go with a minivan. It was ugly, but he had a lot of custom things done to it, ie: custom turbo.

Well acutlly I was planning on getting clear bumper lights, and having all the bulbs going when the parking lights are on. SO not turn signals.

The thing is, i wire the parking lights next to the headlight to be the blinkers.

Think this will work, will they be bright enough.

Also, since that is prob. a 95-97 accord bumper remolded, doesnt that mean i can get any accord bumper and just remold it. NOt just that one.
