put the type w skirts on yesterday. i think they look awesome. still keeps the car with a classy look, not much design to them, and really makes it lower! now i am going to take my spare airdam and cut it apart to extend the one on my car to even out the sides. now the rear, that is different.

i also posted a pic of the airdam for those who want to see it on another car besides the wings west one. enjoy!

Arent those "Type W" side skirts just the factory ones painted? I had my car repainted along with the factory body molding/side skirts and it looks EXACTLY like yours....

acuradan69

actually, it looks a little diffrent from stock. But for someone who doesnt own acl, they probably wont be able to tell a difference=)

rmstoico

the type w skirts are nothing like the factory ones! they are twice as low as the factory, and have a different mold to them. they make the car look at least 2 inches lower on the sides.

Are those skirts from a 97 accord application (TL maybe?)? 2 or 4 door? Any rigging required for applying to a CL?

Got any pics with the skirts and the air dam in the same view. Trying to see how they look together.

Hey what did you use to paint your air damn? Dont know if its just me or what but the air damn doesn't look like it matches the car. Looks like it is a flat black instead of a glossy black.

acuradan69

Do you have your car lowered too?? Any problems with scraping and all with the lowered side skirts??

damn...that looks pretty low on your car...how much are they in all that stuff...what did you lower your car with also...but looks sweet...almost like stock...but it is def lower....cuz its low as hell haha...nice...i want some now too hehe...

Looks like the sides are not even with the rest of the car. The back is way to high compared with the sides. I think the stock ones look better IMO. But then again that is just my opinion. Overall I dont like!

It will def look better when you get da shit all da way around 'cause right now its looks way wack wit long shit hangin off da sides only........good start though

niedejb

Dont listen to em. At least your out there customizing while everyone else is just yappin.

Still like to see a side shot with the air dam and the skirts

Repo1234

No disrespect meant. Just saying that it looks uneven from the back!

rmstoico

well, everything is uneven right now... it is in the building stage.

the airdam and the side skirts are both unpainted, they will be painted next spring when the entire car gets painted.

the airdam is about 1-2 inches higher than the skirts. i have another airdam that is getting modified to fit underneath the one on the car to even out with the skirts.

as far a as evening out the rear bumper, that be a huge mod job, with a concerted effort from everyone in the neighborhood, but it will be original and nobody else will have it, just like the front bumper mod we are doing.

thanks for all the input, i appreciate it.

Looks good, don't see any 1st gen's with body kits.

How hard was it to get the skirts to fit? I assuming they are from the 94-97 2 door accord...

rmstoico

actually, i pulled factory side skirts from an accord for a 4 door out of a junkyard. i took them home to see how they matched... exactly the same.

this way i new the 4 doors were the same as ours, and i figured the 2 doors were as well, but when i ordered them i just got the 4 doors to be safe because i new they were the same.

however, the type w side skirts fit over the factory skirts, like the airdam, which my dumbass didnt realize when i ordered them.

so i had to mod the skirts a little to fit, but no harm done. if anyone uses the 2 doors let me know if they fit perfectly. thanks!

I like the front but the sides just dont look right on our car for some reason but to each his own.

CL SLeePeR

Do post some pics when it's done. So the factory side skirts from an accord did or did not fit?

ROoosta

my skirts r the 2dr.....i had to take my OE skirts off in order to put on the WW.....my rear lip is the one 4 the wagon.....so cleaner look to it than the sedans...(dont have the lil slots or grill thing on the bottom)....i know u have the same problem with the front bein higher....post sum pics when ur done......i wanna get sum ideas on how to make it look rite.....

rmstoico

YOU ROOOSTER...

you have the type w on the rear? how much work was involved getting that thing to fit???

got any pics?

moforose3.0

nice ride- thats all I got to say

NBP TL

Just a heads up, the airdam doesnt hold up well unpainted after a long period of time. I did the same thing on mine, put it on sept and didnt get it painted til late spring. It actually started to fade in spots and the guy at the body shop had to do alot of prep work on it to get the paint to adhere well. Good luck.

ROoosta

mine went on pretty easy....i dont have a digi cam....but ill try to get a snapshot of it....its a lil shorter so i had to put it down a lil lower but it look ok so i kept it like that.....now im waiting for my friend to fill in the gaps to make it a full bumper......o...i had to cut out a section on the muffler side for the tips...thats all the cuttin i did....

rmstoico

one more question roooster...

where does the top of the rear bumper connect to the car? i want the new bumper piece to start at the bottom of the factory bumper that sticks out the farthest from the car... know what i mean? i dont want to put the type w bumper on if it attaches on the very bottom of the bumper where it starts to go back in. get it?? let me know, and thanks!

ThreePointZeroCL

ROoosta
