Honda Aero Kit for Accord Coupes.

I think i might have to go this route but maybe with a different front


I haven't looked up the specs but I would bet my left ball sac that any Accord's dimensions are narrower and shorter than a Gen 2 Solara. If it IS the Honda kit I would think there HAS to be major modifications that involve more fiberglass/ABS being added. I'd like to see that Solara from all four sides before I make judgement though.

i dont know if i would buy a kit i think id look for something more attractive , that honda aero kit looks too subtle.. wish the fangs on the solara sport were easily accessible though i would definitely get those.

100% not off an accord. It reminds me of the S-10 Extreme's. But for the life of me I cannot figure out what car that is off of. It is driving me nuts.

The side skirt is Wingswest. I am just not sure which vehicle. It looks the same as on this malibu:

i suppose that by attractive, i mean noticeable. Noticeable, unless done tastefully (which is all too delicate of a skill), is probably ricey. In any case, it's a question of HOW noticeable.

but i digress. let's just say i said noticeable.

Not a fan. And definitely not a typical "Dubai Custom" - paint does come close to matching and it totally ruins the smooth lines of the Gen 2 IMO.

I like the big round booty on the Gen 2 and I think most lip kits destroy that unless they are blended in.
