Default Accord Factory Kit

Anyone have a picture of the Factory Kit for a 6th Gen Accord Coupe. My friend is telling me to get it, and I wanna see what it looks like. I have 98 Accord Coupe. I was thinking, in the long run, the Wings West Kit. Lemme know.

God the factory kit is beautiful. How much does one run for a dealer to install it? Or should I take it to a body shop?

you can easily install the kit yourself. the front lip just bolts on, the side skirts bolt on, and the rear lip ... well, that requires some drilling. when you get the kit, you'll have all sorts of templates for drilling. it'll be really hard for you to mess it up. it'll take a good 3 - 4 hours to install, but if you've removed your bumpers before, you're looking at 2 - 3.

some dealers have $70 per hour labor rates, bodyshops are around $50 - $60 ...

And you can usually pick up the oem kit for cheap online, already painted.

I installed mine and cleared the headlights in under 4 hours. very fun. You have to drill for the sides, the back and the front...what are you talking about? The kit comes with little tape-on templates that makes it impossible to screw up where to drill. The directions that are found on www.handaaccessories.com are outstanding. Very easy to take the bumpers off.

I bought mine on sale at www.handaaccessories.com for under $400 in all. It's no longer on sale though
