Do a search I posted a link on how to aquire the bumpers needed to do the 98+ conversion to install body kits to 01-02 cars.
Then go online and search for honda accessories and get a kit, this is not a difficult thing to do. If you can install a kit you can swap the bumpers.
I already have the OEM kit, and I know searching is not a difficult thing to do...I was just asking with regard to the original guy who posted this question about kits; being that Honda themselves told me at SEMA Las Vegas 2000 that the body curvatures are different and so the 98-00 kits would not fit their then-up-and-coming 2001 Accord---but I guess, like you said, sides are removed when installing any kit...
