optimumautodesign.com *Designing Body Kit for CL*
CL'ers
Currenly we have BW Kit for your car and looking to start making more kits for CL. and i was wondering if you guys could help me to choose which style of kits i should start making kits for all of the CL'ers. Currently we and only we make the BW kit for CL and ship it to other bodykit sellers. If you could give us some ideas that will be appreciated and it will help both of us on long run.
if you have any questions, you can contact us @ info@optimumautodesign.com

a nice suttle lip kit, you could make more money selling alot of inexpesive lip kits than selling a few extreme expensive kits...look at VXCL. he has a ww front lip for our car molded on, and a accord ww rear lip cut and molded.... thats perfect...and alot of people agree with that. also look at veilsidecl, he has a veilside kit molded on, also very nice and suttle......maybe you guys should make a rear lip that matches a ww front lip...im sure alot of people would buy that...this car does not need shit like the BW kit.....this car was pushed at people with style, class, and designed to be something a little edgy at the time..sure it may just be an accord underneath, but we all know looks count......consider all this when youre doin you R&D for your next kit....cause if you guys bring out more shit and i see cl's runnin with it.ima be pissed!
ps, how bout you design something that actually lives up to your name!

He makes a good point. Our cars don't need extreme body kits like the BW kit thats out. We need something flashy, noticable, but not too out there. Like others have said the WW front lip is excellent, but i would want something a little more noticable, but along those lines. Same for the rear end, something suttle but noticable...ya know?

ENGAGE MY VTEC BABY!!!!!!
I think the whole BW kit is overrated, everyone and their mother has put that kit on an accord or civic and its getting old, i would go with what d5c5b said and do a subtle and not too agressive lip kit, i have the kombat side skirts in my sig at the bottom that you can see, those sides are too bad and they are nice
anyone else like the sides i have? they are currently being redone and remade so they are brand new
i would take the ww lip and add a little flare to the side but not too much, and then get the lip to the rear molded
ill work on some photoshop stuff
gqracin13: email me and i have some pics of cl's over the years and some possiblities that might be possible or can work pics are the best way to find a new kit for our car

as was said: subtle = good. classy is the way to go. Front and rear lips (creases in the middle would be best, goes with the hood and trunk) and some tasteful side skirts.
i'm guessing you work with urethane.

I agree with the idea of a nice, subtle lip kit. It would be fairly inexpensive to produce and to purchase, which would benefit both the buyer and seller. Plus you could come up with different styles of lip kits, each with its own flare so that not everyone has the same kit.
BTW-stay away from fiberglass.

Take a look at the kits made for Mercedes and BMW, usually these flow with the car well and aren't too extreme. They don't "change" the look of the car, just improve on it....
A lot of them keep the car looking stock.
Thanks, MY

my perfect kit would be VeilsideCL's rear bumper and side skirts, and the WW front lip, thats it. I like the simple look of the lip, nothing too crazy, if i could just get Veilsides rear bumper, i'd be in heaven

molding the kit is the way to go.. im in just for some smooth lips and a thick sideskirt that matches perfectly with front and back... thats it. nothing fancy nothing extreme. just smoothness. and make the line in the bumpers to match the stock lines int eh car. IMO. i think everyone would agree. thanx.

man just make one simple and clean (all lips), u say itll cost more for urethane and professionally putting a lip on but i believe that if you spend the extra money your outcome will be better in selling these kits to the ppl...look at the wingswest lip, i bet theyve sold hundreds and hundreds of those, because its simple and clean, (plus its the only one made for our cars)...but take this advice becuz i know others agree with me on this one

well what if the sides were fiberglass and the back and front was urethane? ah i gess theres stil a cance of it cracking from various reasons... yea all urethane would be good, but yea i agree with everyone, nothin too extreme, just something nice that gives it the class it deserves. Hell if there were something for around 700 or 800 for a full kit i'd buy it. Too bad you guys are in cali, i'd give ya my car to demo it on
