Default 1996 body kits

I had just recently gotten into an accident in my 1996 accord EX sedan. The front bumper was torn from my car and now I'm looking into some new body kits. One of my concerns is the front blinkers. Do all body kits that are compatible with my type of car have inserts for the front blinkers?

Also, does anyone know if it is illegal to be missing front blinkers and a front license plate in SoCal? Cause Mine will be gone for a week or two...

Most body kits for the 5g accord do not have a place for the blinkers, you could make it so the corner lenses blink.

Body kits are old news though, quite frankly they are out of style.

I do not live in so-cal, however I am going to say it is illegal.

True body kits are tacky IMO,and overly priced sometimes.

And from what i know,you have to have a front license plate present on a vehicle.

not in every state, but i'm guessing cali is one of them, and you always have to have directionals.

I actually just got scorned for wanting to get a body kit for my car... IMO If you just purchased the OEM bumper, dropped it a little, and just added a lip kit it would look much better than a body kit.

Here is a link for and OEM bumper replacement for pretty cheap.
