Default Places to look?

I'm looking around to replace the front and rear bumper (as both ends were involved in small collisions) and I figured sice I'm replacing it I will go ahead and get a nicer than OEM set. My question is that I found what looks like a good deal on www.aerotrends.com but I was wondering if anyone has had interaction with them. Also, if anyone has any other sites I would be much appreciative. The kit I'm looking at is the Black Widow 2 body kit, FYI. Thanks folks!

Get a Wings West or OEM lip kit and call it a day.

Body kits are rice, and I'm not trying to be a jerk, you WILL get laughed at.

Oh, and browse through the "Member's Rides" section on 6thgenaccord.com, you will see no body kits and some VERY sexy cars.

I was hoping to avoid getting laughed at by using a subtle paint scheme, lol. Anyone have a good site for OEM bumpers?

To be honest, for the best fitment and non cracking, I'd go with the dealer, it's worth it.

Try hondapartscheap.com or majestichonda.com, both legit sites.

Yes! You're learning quickly! haha, his car was runner up in the april/may ride of the month.

And if you look at the april/may ROTM of iHazSnail, his car is pretty good looking too, you might even recognize the name in the corners of his pictures! (sorry had to spam myself in somewhere)

Thats a sweet ride Finch!

Not trying to botch the thread, but why do lip kits cost so much? Seems that since it is less material that they would be lower in cost than a full body kit...

The large supply and demand for body kits, there are tons of junk kits being sold by fly-by-night companies trying to make a quick buck.Resulting in badly designed and miss fitting,and horrible looking kits.It would be best for you to stay away from any body kit made from fiberglass sold at around $100-$200 from Ebay or any online store distributor. The cheaper the price, the higher chances you have of having a body kit that won’t fit properly on your car.

Edit:Lip kits are usually more expensive because,1.Good ones are made from Polyurethane,as oppose to fiberglass,or ABS.2.Made by top companies,such as wings west.3.Simply because a lip kit is pure sweetness.

I would rather pay for a lip kit than have someone give me a body kit for free.

Ah, okay. That makes sense then. Well, whenever I decide what I'm going to do, I'll post pics after the product is finished. :-)
