Well, like I said, my mind is made up; Im not trading in my coupe for a new coupe, so I would stick with it; but Im wondering if going with a skirted out, rear spoilered four door sedan is going to portray enough of a "youthful image" because I just feel like I have grown out of the two door coupe thing but yet dont want a stodgy, boring family looking sedan, ya know?

Well, keep in mind with that, that Honda only has a lip and trunk lid spoiler (2) for the sedans. Only the coupe has a full OEM lip kit.

just look at jschmids ride? that does not look stodgy to me. throw a lip kit on a sedan, give it a mild drop and you'll instantly make the car look sporty.

I KNOW this, thats why Im leaning towards the Camry SE with the factory body kit.....

UNLESS Honda is planning on releasing the 08s with some kind of kit for the sedans, but thats unlikely......

Yeah, his sedan looks phat no doubt; but when you say "Lip Kit" you mean an all-around ground effects package, or just the front lip like Honda offers OEM? I really didnt wanna do anything aftermarket, and thats why I was leaning towards the Camry because they DO offer that OEM body kit direct from Toyota; the car is pretty stodgy inside, and the Accord's interior is MUCH nicer, but I just like the EXTERIOR of the Camry better I think, especially with the ground effects......

yeah, I mean an aftermarket ground effect kit that includes a front lip, rear lip, and side rocker covers. the Wings West kit is high quality kit, and the Xenon kit looks sweet too. they are made of eurathane so they fit very nice and they are really touch so they won't crack like fiberglass. I think they look as close to OEM as you can get.

The Mugen kit is the one I showed you in a thread a few days ago...but I haven't seen anyone get it yet...if they did make it, it's going to be expensive.

Skabone, do you have a link for purchase?

DJ...I really wouldn't make your car decision based on a lip kit. If you like the Camry better, then get it, but I wouldn't get it over the Accord just because they offer optional sideskirts and rear lip.
