What would you do?
Alright guys, here's the situation..
I have a 2002 Accord EX Sedan and have been thinking about getting a body kit. I want something simple and clean. I think the sideskirts on my car look pretty good but what should I do?
1. Does anybody know if Wings West will come out with a body kit for the 01-02 Sedan?
2. The Xenon body kit is another option. The only think I really like is the rear. The sideskirts are decent but I don't like the front at all. From certain angles it doesn't look good. Plus since I have an 02, I have an extra bar going across the front bumper. I think with a Xenon front, it will look like there's too much going on in the front.
3. Are there any other combos or possibilities? I'm not really feeling any of the body kits where I'd have to replace the whole bumper. Black Widow is played out and I don't have dual exhaust.. just a Greddy Evo. I'd hate to get another muffler. Or should I just leave it stock? Pics are in my sig.
What do you guys think? Any help would be appreciated.

You can swap out to the 98-00 front bumper.
I don't think the rear needs changed.
Use the search I have posted about this topic several times.
Grand total swapping out the 98+ nose will add a huge total of 200bucks (w/ paint) to the grand WW-type W kit purchase. Which, IMO really isn't that bad.

I was going to do that but I poke to an auto body guy who called the dealer and they said it won't fit. the 2002 is wider than the 98-00. let me know if they were wrong.

All holes mount up the same. Most dealerships have no clue. My dealer told me 6th gen Coupes 4cyl-Vs. 6cyl had different sized front clips? I think he means gen5.

Yeah but that's the problem. Since 2000 is different from 2001 and 2002 the bumper won't fit. Because the Type W only goes up to 2000 then it can't work. A little confusing yes but think about it.

The car is the same car. Just the grills are different in the bumpers. Yes, the lower cut-out is wider but the bumper itself will swap right over, then you can use the WW kit.

under the skin all gen 6 cars look like this for their respective styles. (coupe-sedan)
sorry about blur...
The bumper mounts and brackets are the same 98-02. No matter what the bumper cover looks like they all mount ontop of this structure.
(Schmiddy I have no clue why my Yahoo Homepage links don't work for you.) I moved the picture to Suck cardomain for now.
