Default Modest Bodykit?

I was thinking about getting a bodykit, well considering it.

I have the factory rims and tires on my car though, and I dont want a problem over speed bumps.

What do you guys think?

I think the most "modest" or subtle body kit is OEM for coupe and Wing West W for sedan. (Of course I'm partial to the WW, I have it. )

I prefer the urethane lips kits like these. More durable than fiberglass, and you retain the OEM fitment of the stock bumpers.

If you aren't lowered...you should do that first.

I'd say 18's would look much better with a kit, but with something subtle like those two kits, you could pull it off with stock alloys if you wanted to.

Here's my WW to give you an idea:

I disagree AznMAC I think a spoiler would RUIN that car. I think Accords look MUCH better without---because theyre not sporty cars. Dont try to make an Accord Sedan an Accord Sport or Prelude.

jschmid: I really like your bodykit a LOT. And I think it would look very good with the factory alloys. Anyway man, how much did that run you for the bodykit? And how much for the paintjob to make it identicle to the car color?

jschmid: Few more Qs man. I have PIAA foglights on my car, would this intefere with them? I also have a front bumper plate that has the Honda 'H' on it.

Help me out man. You bodykit still makes the car look classy, like an Accord. Not a hooked up piece of sh*t like some cars look like.

you don't think an OEM "factory" spoiler wouldn't look nice on his car? I know that they're not supposed to be "sporty" but they look really good, I have one on my car...and it looks damn good

I dont think so, but hey every1 is different. What I think looks like a piece of sh*t hooked up car maybe the greatest car in the world to someone else. I like keeping it classy and non-sporty. Not going as far as a family car, LOL, even though it is. But just keeping it modest like jschmid's ride is.
