Damn you guys, nobody wants to reply? :squint:

First off, the 2002 bumper will fit on your Accord. While it may be cosmetically different, it still uses the same clip and screw mounting positions. It's likely that way in order to save money, given that it's the same dimensions. I'd do it to my car if it weren't for the cost factor...I think the 2002 bumpers look better than the 1998-2001's.

Secondly, I'd skip the bra. They always end up messing up your paint in the end, with uneven fading and the rubber (if it's a cheap bra) can bake into the paint, staining it. It also ruins the lines of the car. 3M makes clear tape that you can apply to the nose of your car that will prevent chips and sandblasting from road grime. It will save you money, plus it's invisible. Works great.

As for foglights, PIAA, no question. OEM foglights aren't that bright, they're more cosmetic than anything else, and Honda wants a bundle of money for them ($260.00 around here). PIAA's are a great brand, I hope to get them on my car shortly (see signature, I just installed superwhites for my low-beams). If you still want the OEM's though, go to www.hparts.com. Much cheaper.

Happy motoring.
