Front skirt/Lip spoiler
After seeing how nice the front skirt look on ImpressInk CBP, I finally bite the bullet and ordered one myself. Here's a few quick pics after the installation yesterday.

Very nice, I love the "executive feel" of your car.

Thanks MrOto, I do like the subtle look of the front skirt plus I like the look of the OEM front bumper.
ran183- Whole install took 30 minutes. 4 self tapping screws in the fenders (wheel well), eight bolts in the front with clip nuts supplied (fits perfectly in existing slots) and double sided tape provided.

I got it from Lings in the UK. www.lings.com
Thanks.
Thanks, I have the Euro Sports suspension, 1" drop. I am thinking about the side skirt (may not need it) just look at the side shot. The TSX rear looks good as is, in my opinion, so I probably won't add any wing.
They are 19" Rage wheel from Europe, OEM accessories rims for the Civic Type R., made by Speedline of Italy for Honda.

The car is coming along nicely, tech.
I'm actually thinking of getting the front lip myself so your pictures are really helpful, especially since I don't have the side skirts either.
Personally, I'd vote to get the sides. Since you have the front and rear already the lines don't flow as well without them. I think impressink had the front and sides but didn't have the rear?
Do you know if there's any difference between the euro and north american aero side skirts?
I think the trunklid lip spoiler might look good on your car but not the wing.

Congrats on the new mod! The front looks complete now - like how an OEM sports version should look 
Ever considered adding some spacers to flush out the rear wheels a bit more?

Oh and please clean your exhaust tips - they need some luvin, esp. on a black car

I happened to like the look of the stock front bumper which is why I went with the lip spoiler.

The Rage rim has an offset of ET55, same as the stock 17". I have already installed 15mm spacers front and rear, may try on 20mm to 25mm later.

Yes, I will clean the tips off tomorrow. With 2 young kids, time is a precious commodity.

Thanks Darren, which side skirt should I go for, the Aero Sport/Modulo like yours or the Euro GT/Type S ones.

where can you get the front lip spoiler? I have the side skirts, but want to add the fronts as well. Since I don't like the look of the factory sport front bumper, I just want to add the lips. I think that will looks clean and classy. Does it come pre paintedd? how diffficult is it to install?

It doesn't really matter since they're very similar in style, either would look great to complete the look. I personally would probably just go with whatever will cost you the least.

You do need the part number, just go to Honda Access site in Europe, select Car Accessories, select Accord 4dr, then 2.4 Exe, then click on Exterior. You then look for the front skirt with corresponding colour part # copy and paste to Lings site.

They come pre-painted and installation took me 30 minutes.
Good Luck.

I think Darren still has the best looking CBP TSX around, follow close behind will be ImpressInk. I think your PWP is one of the nicest white TSX around town. Hopefully we will cross path soon, is there a meet in Lynnwood with Rob in September?

Ive seen this guys car driving around town a couple of times...it looks stunning...that front grille and now the lip definately makes it look one of a kind
This is how they could've made the car look when they brought it to North America, instead they threw that damn ugly shield grille on the front. Damn it Acura.

Thanks, I am not a fan of the 8G Accord either (also too big to fit in my garage).
Thanks Shift, I drive to/from downtown everyday from the Fraser Valley on Hwy 1, what colour is your ride.
My local Acura dealer loves my car, the service manager thinks the front Modulo grille makes it look more aggressive.

Speedstar in Toronto, Canada has the Euro lip for $550:

BTW that $550.86 is in US$, which is around C$600 plus HST (12% in BC) plus shipping. That's why I ordered it from the UK.

Looking so good Ed. If I can sneak one past the shipping department at Ling's I'll join the club of 2 so far in north america. IMHO, it looks so much cleaner than the front sport bumber.

normally they ship Freight, thats why they quote you $150-200 to ship it, but just tell them you want standard parcel through UPS Ground... its like $60-70 to ship it, not bad at all. Also ask them that you were referred by someone else and request a discount, they will gladly give you 10% off.

When I tried to ordered from Lings last year, they sent me an email asking for additional £650 s/h. I canceled that order right away.
When I ordered again last month, they charged me the standard international rate of £40 and I got delivered via UPS Savers without any additional charge, may be it's a mistake or they got a great deal with UPS. BTW, I thought UPS Ground is only available in North America.
