I'm bored so I'm making a thread about body kits. You're a noob and want to put a kit on your 3g? Well there are 3 made that bolt right on, they are made by

Those are the straight bolt on kits for the 3geez, usually fairly spendy too. Of course they are kinda outdated in looks wise I think, so there have been a few of use to try our own thing. From the past experiences it looks like the best way to go with things is the 90-93 Accord rear end, 90-93 Accord sides (have to cut about 4 inches off), and the 90-93 Integra front. This mostly goes for the sedans and coupes, the hatch rear bumpers are shorter so they're harder to find something to make fit.

The main problem with the 90-93 integra and accord bumpers is mounting them. ICEMAN707 did the smart thing and used the top of the 86-89 accord bumper and molded it to the new one so that everything ligns up perfectly and he can bolt it on. For the integra front, there's a lip that sticks up that you will have to cut off and you will have to cut out a little bit for the headlights to work. You can see it in this pic, the white is where I cut
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid81/pc70921ddf21f3ed66e73756baf0e472c/faf419df.jpg
I can't say if you will need to do any cutting on the 90-93 accord bumper because I haven't used that one, but the integra one must be cut to fit.
And last but not least is another accord with a 90-93 accord full kit.

Imagestation is down right now so you'll have to wait to see my pics.

So the 90-93 Accord has the same front bumper/read bumper and sides as an 88 accord lx? is it a direct bolt on or does it require cutting like the 90-93 tegS?

Dont forget mine! 98 civic Wings West Avenger kit....
http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/12/web/372000-372999/372215_9_full.jpg

in the above picture, the kit was only sitting on the car and was not changed whatsoever to fit. Only small modifications are needed to make it work. Under the headlights needs to be trimmed out so they can flip up/down. Some small fiberglass work could be done to help the side markers flow better with the body kit. Other then that, just a civic grill could be put in to help fill the grill gap.

This has DEFINATELY been asked of you a million times kicker, but I am, as you know, a complete n00b, how did you fsten your 90-93 teg bumper? It seems to me taht you would have to make custom brackets or someting, please write back or something, or falme me if you will, but bear in mind that I am VERY new to the 3g accord scene! :)

I used a 90-93 teg bumper, took the cover off, put the aftermarket cover on and made some mods so make it bolt up to the accord. It was fairly easy.

No more then a days work to make it fit ok. If you want it to line up perfect though your going to have to do some cutting and fiberglassing to the bumper. But it looks pretty damn good just using the teg mounting hardware and slightly modifying it.

my 4 cents:

1) try IMPORTFAN.com. their kits are high quality GTP blue class and their price is the best i've seen on the net. if you want something cheap to cut and mess around with, there's always ebay, lycos, and yahoo auctions. remember these kits are cheap and so is the quality. so expect to get what you pay for. but you can always add more layers of fiberglass yourself if you are good with fiberglassing.

2) don't get urethane kits. although they may be more durable like the factory bumpers due to their flexibility, they are not easy to mold once cut. any fiberglassing/bondoing done to urethane kits will be prone to cracking/separating due to the flexible nature of urethane.

3) use 4g accord sedan sides and rear and 90-93 teg front. the 4g accord sideskirts are too long and have to be cut about 4 inches and the door jams of the 3g are not the same as the 4g so be prepared to run into fitment issues around that area. all i can say is cut and refiberglass. also, remember to choose the kit wisely. not all kits flow with the boxy style of the 3gee, and there will be fitment issues that come up if you choose a kit that's too rounded or smaller/tight on the edges. buy a rotary cutting tool, power drill with lots of sized drill bits, and a really good orbital sander. buy lots of bondo products, tons of different grit sandpaper, epoxy glue, fiberglass matting, fiberglass resin, screws/bolts, spray primer, and metal for custom brackets. be prepared to be your own little body shop while undergoing this type of project.

4) and last and most important of all, if you do not have experience or not willing to invest the time (to learn and experiment) and money (of course) to fiberglass/mold bodykits, don't do it. remember to spend wisely. the tools are only as good as the user. make sure you know what you are doing before you splurge $500+ on a kit that sooner or later you would just give up on. we can tell you as much as we can how we did it, but it's up to you to figure out yourself. visit custom bodyshops, talk to people at car shows, read car bodywork books, etc. remember 3 things in life: "knowledge is power", "if you want something done right, do it yourself", "don't take someone else's words for granted but your own".



peace out peeps and stay cool!! :super:

Hey on the maroon accord are those stock bumpers painted over or bumpers from another car ? I am wondering if I should do a body kit for my 88 accord 3rd gen or just keep it stock and give it a fresh coat of glossy paint and tint the windows. I think as old as the car is it looks fine for body lines and up to date kits with modern looks are impossible to find without considerable expense in customising from other kits.
I'm bored so I'm making a thread about body kits. You're a noob and want to put a kit on your 3g? Well there are 3 made that bolt right on, they are made by

Those are the straight bolt on kits for the 3geez, usually fairly spendy too. Of course they are kinda outdated in looks wise I think, so there have been a few of use to try our own thing. From the past experiences it looks like the best way to go with things is the 90-93 Accord rear end, 90-93 Accord sides (have to cut about 4 inches off), and the 90-93 Integra front. This mostly goes for the sedans and coupes, the hatch rear bumpers are shorter so they're harder to find something to make fit.

I dont know what kit, or from what car this kit is, but the car just looks amazing.

Dood, Do you know where that car is from? Its looks fuckin sweet :cool2: , and i swear that the license plate on that it exactly the same as we have over here in NZ, and all cars have the white sticker down in the bottom (if looking from front)right hand corner of the front windscreen... But i cant see if that thing is a RHD... Clues anybody?

Sorta looks like it was grafted onto the stock bumper... there are odd little lines at the corners.

It looks like a lude kit... the newer ludes... 98... but thats too straight
so it could be from a teg or the 4th gen accord

I found something close... I'll continue to look though.

what would you guys think about a 2000ish impreza bumper... its the stock one, i know it would take lots of costom work, but i think it could look pretty cool on one or our cars... there are two of these down the street from my house so i see them everyday on my way to work...

http://www.nw-autopage.com/lg_pics/1770580.jpg

2000 imprezas are 67.1 inches wide, we are 66.7 inches wide... so the width should work alright i think...
and they have the slots for the bumper lights in them already, just probably some harness conversions and it would be set as far as the lights...

sporkHSP

read the thread. direct fit for 86 and 87 is only alittle more difficult than 88-89, all the 3gee kits were made for the 88-89 bumpers, which means that you can just buy one of those bumpers and the kit will go on perfectly, and the bumpers are interchangeable, so dont ask.
this is a 5 page thread and you still couldnt figure out if there are body kits for your car?

By the way, Deathrat, that kit looks awesome. especially the front

u can fit any bodykit out there. u just gotta plan out how it will line up. it takes modification but u can do any bodykit to a whole front end conversion. any 90-93 teg and 90-92 accord will fit almost perfect.

I was at a friends house last night and he had a pair of 92-95 civic sedan mugen side skirts. I fit them up on my hatch and they fit PERFECTLY. Just a little trimming needed on the front fenderwell mounting point. Other then that, the length couldnt be more perfect.

Before you new guys go out and spend money buying an Integra kit, thinking that it will just bolt right on, let me tell you, IT DOES NOT. Do not listen to these guys who tell you it does, as most of them have never tried it themselves. Some members have been able to get Integra front bumpers to fit, but IT IS NOT A DIRECT BOLT ON. It does take some modifications to get it right. I've been to a junkyard, pulled both bumpers and tried lining them up. Mounting points are different, which makes it not sit flush front to back, and leaves a gap above that would have to be compensated for. Read carefully the posts by the guys who have actually done it, and you will see they all say that modifications are required. Just a warning.

Have you actually gotten a kit from them? The pictures they show on their website are of a couple of 3Geez members cars, not anything they did themselves. There have been several requests made to them directly, and here through the forum for pics of their work, but to date, none have been posted (so far as I know). If you did get one, please be sure to post pics when you get it on, and also let us know just how good a quality it is.

Be fully aware fibrglass is very hard to work with when faced against the forces of gravity and is messy as hell.

Not as easy as some people my think...lot of fabrication to make the product look flawless....Could be a disaster, it you don't got the skill, patience, and time to finish custom fibreglass work...PERIOD!

tRY NOT TO USE A LOT OF FILLER TO FILL IN LOW SPOTS AND MISTAKES,,,SPEND THE TIME AND LAYER THE CLOTH IN THESE BAD AREAS, CUT THE SHAPE NEED, BUT MAKE SURE YOU DO IT IN LAYERS,, WHEREAS THE FISRT LAYE IS SMALLER, THEN THE NEXT LAYER SLIGHTLY LARGER,,,AND SO ON,,,,TO BUILD IT UP...

If that's the avenue you wanna go,,then go for it....Gonna be a lot of work to fabricate and fiberglass a whole bumper...just remember before you attempt the whole piece is gonna have to be blanced......left side = right side.....if you have a mold fabed right it will work....

Do NOT use a lot of filler to create you pieces....BAD IDEA! Spend the time and figure out how you are going to create your custom mold for the fibreglass work...This is your base and it's very important...if you don't have the patenice to work out imperfections,,,and the frustrations associated with the messinees of fibreglass...it will be a disaster...

#1 Tip:

Use Foam Insulation in a can to create customs molds,,,but note it is messy (sticky) as hell and it doesn't like the vertical forces of gravity...prepared to get messy....but when cured it's get to shape,,,can be cut, sanded,,,it's great!!


Damm never thought of taking any pics when I fab my customs molds,,,wish I did..sorry guys...

I actually thought of that... (Foam Idea) you mean like mono foam right? What is the importance of equal weight on both sides?

Aswell how many layers would be considered minimum? and what would be considered the maximum ammount of layers?

Any type of insulating foam in a can will work...3-4 layers min. you can use as much as you want...I wouldn't use more then 6 layers...can get pretty thick...

Yah the Spyder bumper has to be customized to fit our cars....defietly use some type of lower brackets by the fender wells..they have a tendency to bounce...

When I say balanced, I am referring to creating one area that is identical to the opposite side....this is were custom molding is time consuming....one side looks great but then you have to fabricate and duplicate the other one to match up...could be a disaster.....

I'm sorry I should have been more specific....

"As well how many layers would be considered minimum? and what would be considered the maximum amount of layers?"

(Referring to the fiberglass laying itself)

I know it's dependant on where you need the strength but is it advisable to do a minimum of 2 layers of fiberglass ?

Laying glass for strength depends on a couple of things.

1. curves add strength

2. number of layers depends strongly on weight and weave of glass.

Fiberglass comes in many different weights (this refers to thickness) and weaves that are better applied for different purposes. Thinner glass will mold more complex designs. Thicker glass will require significantly less labor. You can also get glass that is woven tightly or loosely like fabric, or you can get glass that is woven like plywood - every which way. Straight rigids lays are better done with plywood weave. They are stronger. Curvy lays are better done with fabric woven, it bends and molds more predictably.

I've only done small projects in glass, like a set of custom speaker pods in my brothers 91 civic, but so far that is all I've picked up. If somebody knows more or sees need to correct me go for it. And if you really want to know about forming glass, go to your nearest boat repair and construction shop. Nobody throws glass like a boatbuilder.

Later.

How hard it will be to make it fit all depends on how much you know and how skilled you are. If you do body work and bodykits a lot then it won't be too bad, If you have never done anything like it before then you will probably not want to buy a complete bodykit and start cutting it because there is a chance it won't work. What you should do is go to the junkyard and buy a bumper off a 90-93 accord and see how hard it will be to customize it, because then you will be able to figure out wether you think your confident enough to put out the money and try or maybe decide doing a custom kit will be too hard. There are a couple companies that sell bodykits for the 3geez if your interested in that.

Check this out...the 02-05 Civic and the 04-05 1.7 EL have the same lip, rocker (or whatever you call it) under the doors, ours just sticks out a little further, so there would be a slight gap between the skirt and the doors. Only 3 cm needs to be cut off the skirts' length to make 'em fit our cars. I'm lookin' at a set of 1.7 EL skirts - they retail for $857.00 a pair which is a little fu*kin' rediculous, but I found 'em on clearance for only $184.00!!! Apparently the 1.7 EL wasn't that popular so Acura is clearing out all of its accessories at up to 80% off.

I also managed to custom fit a 94-97 Accord Stillen Touring lip on the original 3rd gen bumper. Don't laugh, but I cut pieces off of a plastic paint tray to extend the lip on the sides, just need to mould everything together. Check out the pics and tell me what y'all think.

I want to fit my '89 Aerodeck with an '90-'93 Integra front bumper, but I'm not shure it'll fit. I noticed that there are 2 different front bumpers for the accord. The sides of the bumper are different in lenght. (don't know if that has to do with the 87-88 and 88-89 model) I already ordered a wrong bumper once (with shorter sides) and I really don't want to do that again.

Could anybody tell me if an integra bumper fit's ??(with some small modifications)

Unless the aerodeck is different all the bumpers are interchangable between the 86-89 for all body styles and models in the US.

Keep in mind those of us who did it used the bumper support and metal brackets from the inside of a stock teg bumper and mounted the skin to them. So you'll need to pickup that from the wrecker.

What kit did you order? All the body kits say direct bolt on, but they never are. I have the "spyder" bodykit, and i think it was just one off a 90-93 accord or teg because i had to cut and mold some pieces to make it fit.

roadkill
05-09-2006, 08:43 AM
i didn't order a kit, but just a cheap imitation for about $25,-. With some cutting i made it sort of fit. I know the "spyder" bumper doesn't fit properly, because thats the reason the dealer here in Holland wouldn't even import it anymore.

I can't just use the bumper supports of an integra because that model has never been sold here. I hope it isn't to hard to make my own or adapt the accord's original.

06-07-2006, 05:22 AM
From the past experiences it looks like the best way to go with things is the 90-93 Accord rear end, 90-93 Accord sides (have to cut about 4 inches off), and the 90-93 Integra front. This mostly goes for the sedans and coupes, the hatch rear bumpers are shorter so they're harder to find something to make fit.

So 90-93 Integra kits will bolt onto my 89 Accord or will i have to do some minor work? yes, i'm a n00b so let thy bashing begin! :rocket:
