94-97 Body Kit Questions and pics of my car

I got a brand new body kit off craigslist for dirt cheap ($150) It is brand new doesnt even have the holes drilled yet. Manufacturer unknown "spyder" type kit. I am an aircraft mechanic i work on jets but i have never tried paint/body work. I was wondering if there is a sight that could help me out with instructions or maybe has some step by step or pics you know. Am i in over my head trying to tackle a project like this? All the work you see in these pics i did myself, including lowering, headers, etc., etc... Any help would be great.

Have any pics of the bodykit?

For $150 what do you expect? Id take it to a body shop and let them do it professionally and paint. If the kits made really cheap and doesnt line up well, id scrap it and buy a higher quality one from a manufacturer

For the love of Goda lose the wing and the painted dash

Body kits can look ok if done right, but stay FAR AWAY from the big wings!

Um... i get more compliments on that wing then anything else i have done to my car... look at it this way... at least i didnt spend money on a 4 door lol... and your hood looks retarded yo... did you run out of paint before u did ur mirrors? Seriously wasnt looking for opinions about my taste especially not negative ones... 4 door... tisk tisk

Are you kidding me?? If you think your car looks better than man you REALLY need glasses because that wing and dash is straight RICER! Then you wanna say stuff about my paint job when my paint job and wheels cost more than you even paied for your car. Then you wanna say bad stuff about my car because its a 4 door, but atleast mines a 5 speed not a AUTO! So go put on that crappy body kit RICE that car out some more and keep wishing your car looked even half as good as mine with your cheap rims                                                            

O and saying my Vis CF hood looks bad is also funny and don't hate because you can't afford to buy it because its a $500 hood, but you spent money on those cheap ass rims and bought your body kit off craigs list...lol
 
 
Why don't you go fly off some where with that big ass wing

yeah dont make make fun of our 4doors .. cheaper insurance than two doors =)
 
and the wing is a matter of opinion..but dont bag on us .. esp if you have an auto
 
but back on topic..its better to spend the money on kits..cuz going the cheap route is not a good idea IMO..do it right the first time

No he must have a 600 HP motor running 20 LBS of boost because why else would he need a HUGE wing on a front wheel drive car like that? I mean when hes driving down the highway he needs something to keep the front end from lifting off the ground and flipping the car over....lol

Dude no more talking... you fixed up a 4 door... and ur seats are red... car is orange... your making fun of my wing saying it serves no purpose... how about those huge slots in your hood? got a supercharger under ur hood needing to pull in cool air from ur windshield? does the 30 Lbs u saved by buying a 500 dollar CF hood shave seconds off ur 1/4 mile?

Those seats your making fun off are leather racing seats out of a honda S2000 and cost more than your rims and tires on your car. Plus does it look like my car was built for speed? Trust me if i wanted my car to be fast it would already have a H22 under the hood so talking about 1/4 mile time was WEAK smack! Its ok i know you wish you could buy a nice CF hood, but your to busy painting your dash with spray on paint you bought from auto zone and your cheap body kit from crags list. When your Accord looks a 3rd as nice as mine let me know, but i bet you'll bolt that body kit up to your car before you even paint it and roll like a true RICER!

that cars looks nice ..needs some tints 

haha..this has become one of my favorite topics..its entertaining.

No this RICE BOY with his 747 wing and painted dash wants to make fun of my car because its a 4 door and what not, but he doesn't have a 3rd of the money in his car i do mine. All i was trying to tell him to do was get rid of the wing because a FWD car doesn't need a HUGE wing and the painted dash looks really bad. All hes missing is some clear tail lights and some stickers to go along with the rest of it

haha..yea i feel you..guess he took it to heart...oh well..nice ride though....

Thanks bro you car looks really nice aswell. I'm digging the rims i love the black on black look!

Looks good man!
Is it lowered?  And what size of rims do you have?
Also, did you sand down your dash pieces before you painted them?  Clear coat?
 
I dont think it really would be hard to attach the kit itself.  Now if you are wanting to mold it to the actual oem pieces so you dont see any lines, that is a whole diff. story.  Just check it out and see if it look hard or not.  Or get a haynes or w/e manual and check out what they have in there.  Good luck!
Let us know how it goes.

thanks..thats how it will remain at least for another year till next tax return.

Yea i put 2.5 in drop skunk 2 racing springs on it... those are 17in motegi racing lightweight wheels MR7s to be exact...
 
Yea i sanded he crap out of those dash peices before i painted them... i also sprayed some stuff thats supposed to make the paint cling to the oily plastic dash pieces a lil better... and yes i clearcoated it with model spray paint clear coat cuz its much more of a gloss then anything else you can buy at the store...
 
 

Nice!
 
Pictures of the bodykit would help too.
I am not familiar w/ bodywork, however I have removed the front bumper before and its not to hard.  I imagine, if the bodykit aligns up just fine you could place the oem bumper cover on top of the body kit and trace the holes and what not.

OK as soon as i can ill take some pics of the body kit and maybe someone will be able to tell me if its gona match up good...
