I agree

Awful bodykit IMHO :(
I hate with a passion Vielside kits and this reminds me of them :evil:

As other have said Ludes look best subtle 8-)

Cheers ;)

It's YOUR car and as others have said, you have to do what YOU want, but you asked for opinions on what to do with your body kit, so mine is:

The best kits are unfortunately quite hard to get hold of, but to continue with my list, there's Wings West that has 2 optional fronts. The RS lip (What I have) and the big mouth bumper, (which is a tad chav, but not as bad as some. 3 types of ValueSports lip kits. An Azect lip kit (including rear spats) and a Hiro lip kit (also including rear spats).

All of the above are quite to very to impossible to get hold of and will hold their price accordingly.

Jebb4 does have a replica Chargespeed front lip for sale which is also rather special ;)

For the front lip, Euro magic or a teg type r looks good.
For the skirts, stock or mugen.
For the rear, Hondas Euro kit lip.

yeah times have moved on and bodykits dont seem as popular these days as they used to ;)
the 4th gen can look great with the right kit
for the front lip - wings west rs lip, prelude type r lip, or what vtecmec says
side skirts - euro bubble, mugen or wings west
rear lip - wings west, accord lip (usa i think), or spats
just my tupenceworth :)
