Those are stock painted. The '97s don't have painted lips/skirts.

^Easier to paint/swap a grill then skirts. Those are just stock painted skirts though. You should look into getting them painted if you're getting a lip.

you will NOT find ANY better handling car for the money.

i miss it so much. mine was the FWD and it handled like no other FWD.. the lotus designed suspension is amazing.. it takes corners almost as fast as my buddies E30 M3..

i blew my head after a long battle with over heating..else id probably be driving it still..

Check the n00b guide, accord rears are best, but they have to be custom fitted a little bit. Years '94-'97.

"As for sides and rear, you can custom fit 94-97 accord sides and rears. Keep in mind that if you go Wings West, there are three different looking rears, the 94-95, 96-97, and then the wagon rear."

The two white ones look good..
Which fits / looks better.. any pics on a CL?
How much custom work is required?

the type R lip sits lower than the wings west lip just to let you know, might not line up perfect with the stock sides cuz of that. M3 sideskirts would look better, or whatever it is klepto had on his CL

I thought the Type-R lip was the WW lip.

He's refering to the ebay lip, which is also refered to as a "type R" lip... god I hate that term, I remember back when it used to just refer to integras not every rice mod for a honda

Hmm... I searched "cl type r lip" and came up with this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CL-96...ayphotohosting
It shows the type r lip but it also says 100% Wings West authentic.
So.. are they different or did this guy just smack on a WW authentic seal on the page? or vise versa?
