^ Which rear lip and side skirts are you going with? The 03-05 or 06-07?
BTW the front lip looks awesome! That's the one mod I considered but never got around to doing on mine. Changes the whole look of the car. Way more aggressive now!

after very little debate, i decided to use the 06-07 rear lip
when it comes in, if i cant get it to fit to my liking on my existing bumper, i'll just buy the 06-07 one.
sucks that i have to get it painted though, the 06-07 didnt have SSM.

after LONG debate, i decided to go with the 03-05 sides b/c i felt that they flowed better with the lines of the front and rear lip.

As far as the rear lip goes, you should be able to fit it on your bumper as is. I've seen plenty of people do it on V 6 P. It's going to look sick!!!

yea i've been exchanging messages with one member with the rear setup im looking at...
from his pictures it looked just fine, he would always say there was a tiny gap on the corners but if it looks anything like the pics he sent me, im going to be one happy camper...
so after the kit is all installed, its gonna be coilovers, wheels, and a few bolt-ons.. and DONE!
cant wait to see it all come together.

dont worry, i will NEVER black out my tail lights..
honda has been making great looking lights for a while now, there is almost never a better alternative to their stock lights.

In all honesty, I hate the taillights on the 03-05 coupes. But it looks much nice on the rear end that you posted. Well, your taillights anyways.
Have you thought about picking up the 06-07 rear bumper and taillights, if you decided to go with the 06-07 lip?

I wasn't a big fan of the stock taillights on the 03-05 coupes myself that's why I got the Eagle Eye LEDs for mine.

^^ i would buy those if the LED pattern followed the shape of the light..
i've considered it, but i like my cars to have spoilers.. and those rear ends look better without them... and the spoiler itself is pretty agressive. i like the subtleness of mine.
i do like the 06-07 tail lights better though....
possibly down the road!
there are definitely a few exceptions over the years
i pretty much hated all civic sedan tails though the 90's and early 2000's..

Have you seen 3rd gen TL wheels on these cars? I think they look fantastic, probably a little easier to find too. Black Market is probably full of them.

Even the TL-S wheels look great on the Accord. Which is funny because they look like poop on the TL-S

I love the looks of these:

IIRC the TL wheels are +45mm, not agressive at all, especially if you aren't dropped.

If the accord offset is anything like 2nd CL, which i believe it is. Then 17x8.5 with 45mm offset and 235 tires is considered semi aggressive and the tires will be sticking out from the fender, unless i lower it.
u know the look when u have aggressive wheel and not lowered ...

Only the A-Specs are 8.5" wide (and only for the 04 TL oddly enough, in 05 they went with an 8" wheel).
The base model TL wheels are either 7.5 or 8" wide. I want to say 7.5. And yes, the standard Accord wheels are +55mm.
Ive run many different offsets on my CL, and the TL wheels were the least aggressive of them all. Most of the people Ive seen with Accords and TL wheels seem to run spacers to make them seem aggressive.
Either way, Im sure you can find a relatively clean set of whichever wheels you want on CL or v 6 p.

Guess it depends on what look you're going for. Personally, I think the 9 spokes of the V6 AT is a bit much. The 6MT 5 spokes are great, so are the the 4 cylinder alloys.
