Yeah, I seen the quote up there, but no response:doh:
Since the kit is molded on, looks like im gonna have to go custom. I'm not using the stock Type R lip on my ITR so im gonna see if I can mold it on to the front bumper of the Accord after I cut off that fugly lip. I'll make it happen somehow.
I been looking for a BMW M3 so I can use it's wing, prolly gonna be as close as I can get to replicate my wing.
As far as lowering, im gonna prolly have to raise it up a bit, my car isn't slammed so I gotta make sure the model isn't either. Those rims that come w/the kit, are they 17's or 18's?
From the sounds of it so far, this is gonna be quite the project

Hobby store close to you or places like wal-mart, k-mart, fred myers if you have one has a ok selection. Remeber its not hard to build these things. when you open it up you will be like oh shit but it really is easy if you follow the directions. I recomend you start off with the revell integra type r. It is easy and fun.

Also the exhaust is horribly small on it and it comes out in the center so your going to have to build a little custom one like i did!

h:I think raising it is a must not only for the "replica" look im going for, but also I think the rims that come w/the kit are a lil bigger than the Type R rims im gonna use so it'll look kinda :ghey: slammed like that IMO. Raising it up shouldn't be a problem, If I can lower em, I can raise em too
Check out this kit I found, the front bumper looks close enough to stock, and I think it's a 5th gen too so I may have to come up on that kit. (See pic below)
Yeah man, this kit sounds like it's gonna test my skillz.

yeah. i almost bought that kit but i bought a rx-7 instead. :happysad: I can take some pictures of the accord with the itr rims if ya want. remeber that the itr rims will not fit the accord tires. If I was you i would go buy the itr revell kit one more time and use the wheels/tires, seats, and maybe the dash because the accord kit has a rhd driver steering wheel and only has one seat.

Since im gonna buy the kit I pictured earlier, as well as the PIAA kit, I can use alot of parts off of it.
