I just thought of something!! I was thinking about what kind of body kit I could slap on my accord, and I happened to notice my mom's van, a 93 Town and Country... at a glance, the curves of the front bumpers look the same on both vehicles, so I took a measuring tape and went around the van's bumper, and then my car... sure enough, there was only like, a half inch difference!! I think you could easily take off like, a quarter inch on each end of the t&c bumper, and it would fit! but then, I started thinking "what about the width?".. there's like a half inch difference there too...I think... it was a quick measurement, so I could be off.... so, after a half inch out of the middle, and a quarted inch off each side, it would fit! the only problem I can think of is the height! just cut off the bottom end of it, and you could stick it to the rear, maybe.....I just now thought of that much! Anyway, could someone else look into this, to see if I'm accurate? Like I said, it was a quick, like, not even 2 minutes to check it out.....I think you could make an awesome looking widebody conversion if you're good with molding and fiberglass and stuff like that!

okay here is what you do. late at night when your mom is asleep you sneak out there and rip the bumper off her car and see if it fits. then take pics and let us see. also you might wanna put the bumper back on your moms van.

that front bumper might actually look pretty tight

I think it would look kind of odd. You would have fog lights though!
