How much did you guys spend to get your lip kit painted? Or if you painted it yourself, how hard was it? I'm planning to install my lip kit, but dunno if the 400$ paint and install deal is a good deal. And i'm scared the lip kit would not match up with the car so well if I painted it myself using the sand, primer, paint, gloss method ahah. Any pointers would be appreciated.

 

if you color match it you should be fine, the color numbers are inside the drivers side door. really depends on if you trust yourself to do it or not.

 

I have the same color car and painted my lip recently. The color matched great but the clear coat just didn't come out shiny enough.

 

get it done professionally..its worth the money

 

i did mine myself, it hasnt chipped yet and it looks great so we'll see.
but i would get yours painted since its not an easy color like mine was.

 

Did it myself rattle can style. Did all the sanding and body work myself to. Total expense wit all sand paper/paint/clear/primer/tape/etc., was like around $60.00.
Looks good. Nothing high shine or gloss as would a professional job. But good enough for now til I get a spray gun.

 

unpainted ftw.

 

...yeahhh like your mirror...right?

 

sick burn.......

 

thanks for the info everyone. I tried to install the kit today and it wasn't so hard to catch on. The ABS front fit perfectly. The 94 accord mugen rear lip fit with a minor cutting. But the side skirt was a problem. It seems to be 1/2 inches too short, and it blocks the door from opening. Is there a way to solve this problem? I knew i should've ordered the side skirts made for the CL. 88$ shipped just sounded really cheap lol.

 

mine was $250 paint and install.

 

yup!

 

Shouldn't be more than $250-300

 

I got mine for like $170 looks good

 

mine was $free.99

 

you're lucky it came with the car.

 

Which accord side skirts did you end up getting

 

I got the 94-97 Honda Accord JDM Mugen Side Skirt FRP from ebay. turned out to be a mistake cuss it came up 1/4 inch short, I had to cut a lot of it so the door can open out. i'll have to figure our how to custom fit it to the car. Does anyone know how to remove the stock sideskirts?

 

^^ should have read more on this site, you would have learned that they were too short

 

actually I did. This came from the NOOB guide: "For some, they claim the sides fit right on, for others, some minor cutting is done so that the door can open up regularly". no mentioning of it being too short. But im not trying to complain about that.

 

Just cuz it's not in the n00b guide doesn't mean the info isn't on here
