just trying to help a brotha out, $400 is a bit much wouldn't ya say?

whoaitslen2 12-06-2003 11:56 AM

$400 is a good price with the bumper. It has fogs and jdm bumper signals too. Ive only seen one other J's lip for the accord and that was a few years ago at a show.

dhave3 12-06-2003 10:40 PM

first of all i don't think they make jdm lip like that for a 5th gen. that actual lip style was originally made for civic just lkie VRGNCD5 said.

Im with VRGNCD5 $400 is too much, get one on ebay for cheap.:rolleyes:

dhave3 12-06-2003 10:41 PM

oh yeah, i have one on and spray painted it myself and the sh!t looks nice.

No. Do your research. Its not a civic replica. J's Racing made that lip for the CD5. Its was widely available in Japan when CD5s were popular. Its very similar to the 96/97 CD5 Greddy. And for $400 its a good deal. Research on how much a J's lip, oem bumper, oem fog lights, and jdm bumper signals cost. Comes out to more than $400 but considering its used, its a fair price.

Click on Products, Accord/Torneo, then in the drop down box, select the second link.

Yes the J's Racing Lip looks just like the Greddy, and they also have a Type-A which is a bit bigger, looks cool too.

If it would let me save pics from their site i would post em up but can't :(

Those arent J's lips or even replicas. Theyre Mugen and Type R replicas from 6th gen Civics.

I think they have them for Accords too.

93accordEX 12-08-2003 06:16 AM

yea they are for accords, but the design is a copy of a mugen lip for a civic. and it is similar enough that Im sure most people wouldn't want to buy that, but considering what everything on that bumper is worth, if I was looking for that lip I would pick it up at that price.

VRGNCD5 12-08-2003 07:46 AM

jdm this, jdm that. I can get a front bumper cover for $60 all day, the lip for $59, I could care less about the "jdm" bumper lenses cause ur just paying for the "jdm-ness" when in fact the only difference between those and the euro clear bumper lenses I have now is a little oragne reflector inside the housing. OEM fogs, they flow nicely on the bumper, but are they really better than CATZ or PIAA or other aftermarket fogs? Doubt it.

I know people are jdm crazed so if you wanna pay $400 for that, more power to you, but I think you can get better for less. But what am I thinking, it won't be "jdm" :rolleyes:

AKUFC 12-08-2003 07:53 AM

PIAA foglights aren't cheap either, they are overpriced crap if you ask me, I wish I would have spent my money elsewhere, since the number of times you need foglights is low, there is no point, if you don't like JDM than good for you, people like getting it, and some people don't, so grab a cookie and stop complaining how people spend there money.

I don't remember giving you permission to talk:nono:

Excuse me for having an opinion, im not complaining about how you guys spend ur money, just showing how overpriced "jdm" is.

93accordEX 12-08-2003 07:54 PM

and hes just showing you how overpriced piaa is. sure you can always get non-quality parts cheaper, like a $40 set of fogs, just like you can get cheap bumper covers and whatnot. get the price of a bumper and bumper lights and fog lights from honda, basically it would come out to getting the lip free if you wanted to replace those parts with oem honda parts.

BlueFang08 12-08-2003 09:01 PM

I think its a good deal. I could care less if its "JDM" to tell you the truth. J's racing is damn good stuff they put a lot of time into their products so its not a cheap lip. As for the bumper fogs and turn signals I could really care less, I really just want the lip. But again if you add how much the bumper is, fogs, and everything else it would come out to be much more than $400. Yeah its "JDM" bling but more importantly its high quality stuff.

And the lip goes for $430 online and thats if you can find it.

How did he show me how overpriced PIAA is, I don't recall him showing or telling about an equal product for less than half the price. So it's his opinion on PIAA. Not that I disagree w/him.

I get OEM body parts all day for cheap. When I got in my accident, I got my hood for $65, fender for $25, radiator support for $25 and front bumper cover for $60. OEM fogs are a waste of money to me cause not often are they needed so I can't justify the cost.

What difference is there between the J's lip and a Mugen civic style lip?

BlueFang08 12-08-2003 09:25 PM

Well you also have to realize not all of use have hookups.

And the "Mugen" Civic style lip is a POS. From all i have read it never fits perfect, people have to re-dill holes. Its just made cheap. Also I know a number of people that have had them and have cracked them.

And the J's racing lip is made out of urethane. Not abs. And its made to fit the CD accord perfectly not have to worry about re-drilling holes or it being to long or short like you have to with the "mugen" lip.

I don't care what you guys do w/your money, doesn't affect me a bit. It's just my opinion that all this "jdm" crap is way overpriced. I mean, why spend $300-$400 on some "jdm" headlights when you can open up ur oem's, paint em black and add some blackhousing corner lenses and it's the same damn thing, all for the cost of the corners, spray paint and a couple hours of your time? Why spend $300 on a Mugen flush mount wing when you can get a WW replica for half that price? I just don't get it.

BlueFang08 12-08-2003 11:34 PM

Well mugen puts R&D into their products and they acutaly do stuff for your areo dynamics, some more than others. And i do think wings west is a good company. But all i am saying is that stuff like the "mugen" lip isn't.

nevets 12-09-2003 12:37 AM

:blah:

newsflash: JDM parts are overpriced :eek::shocked::eek3:
