Thanks but the WW kit is Urathane while the Honda kit is a harder crackable polymer. Had 2 sets of Handa-Accessories Side skirts cracked in the mail via UPS.

I have the WWest front and rear and honda-acc. sides. The honda sides fit better then the WWest units. But I like the flaring the WW kit provided. Your body shop can do a way better job of painting anything then Honda did. Niether body kit adds resale value period.

Get either kit, you can get a Wings West kit painted for relatively cheap if you plan to install it yourself.

New Way Autosports sells WW kits cheap.

 

I meant urethane, not fiberglass. Sorry :doh:

I think the OEM kit adds resale value actually. It's so subtle that it cannot offend anyone and there's a possibility that someone will buy your car over another similiar car because of that minor detail.

 

Anyone? Does the oem kit fit the sedan?

 

No, since the Coupe and Sedan are completely different.

 

crap.

 

I felt the same way, but there IS an OEM front piece for the Sedan, also available at the usual suspects: handaaccessories and collegehillshonds, etc.

 

i have seen the OEM lip kit on the sedan, this was wayyyy back in 98. i got my 1998 accord within the first 3 months it came out, when it was summertime. and the salesman who sold me my car, he bought a V6 sedan at the same time for his wife, i saw it in the garage where i saw my car for the first time when i picked it up. and the honda dealership there installed the oem lip front he told me, so i kno, cuz it was sooo early in the stages of the car being sold, it was not aftermarket, plus, my honda dealer is so gay and anal they wouldnt install anything aftermarket and my salesman wouldnt do anything for his wife except oem brand, so i kno, it was honda oem brand. so yes, u can install the oem lip front meant for the 2 door on the 4 door. i looked at it personally, and saw nothing different today in terms of bolt screwing, as my car. i had the OEM lip front for my 2 door. and let me tell u, i cracked mines easily. its not that sturdy. my gf at the time drove my car, and helped put the first major crack to it. over time, it got bigger, cuz it rains like crazy over here in maryland, and fogs up during fall/winter time so u can hit curbs at night. my friends WW kit on his 98 sedan on the other hand never had a crack, and he drives no better than me, if not drives worse than me. i never hit anything except those damn small cement parking structures so u wont go too far into the next space in front or back of u that they put in open parking spaces. i never hit an actually road curve or wall inside a parking garage, never cracked it due to going down a steep driveway at my house or a gas station, or other places. and btw, i think the WIngs west kit RAPES the OEM kit in terms of looks. i think the oem lip kit looks like nothing. i only like the front. thats why im gonna rebuy the oem lip front, WW sides and back. WW side is amazing lookin and the rear looks so damn sexy, like the CLK 430 sides, subtle but looks like something curvy. well, actually, the kaminari sides look(but that kit is just ok overall) more like the old model clk 430 benz look or new CLK 500 look. but anyway, u get what i mean. the oem lip only looks good, if ur car is dropped. u might as well, pay a little more and get something that looks like a body kit. i feel the oem accents almost NOTHING.

 

The kind of urethane that "cracks easily"?


I think both kits are nice, just depends on taste. MrChad's looks great with a bit of both kits.

Just remember when considering price that OEM kit doesn't require paint, that's a big factor in final price.

 

You're talking about the EX painted side skirts, right? (On the 2003, which I see you have, the side moldings are body color on the LX, aren't they?) I'm planning on getting the EX side skirts too, but haven't gotten around to it yet. You can get them at Majestic Honda - hondaautomotiveparts.com - for a little less than from your dealer. They're called "GARNISH ASSEMBLY" and you find them under "PROTECTOR". There is someone here who found them even cheaper somewhere else - you can probably find out where with a search.
