    Only the front of most kits will fit on the hatch. There was a group buy a while back for carbon fiberhoods. I believe the company that made them is now selling them on ebay.

    Actually its the front bumper and side skirts for a coupe that fit. THe only thing that doesn't fit the hatch is the rear bumper.

    Have you test fitted side skirts? I was told by erebuni and several members of this board tha the side skirts would need to be modified to fit and were not a direct fit.

    As far as I'm concerned until I test fit them or see them on another hatch they don't fit.

    No I never test fitted them. Just look at the similarities. there is no way it wouldn't be a direct fit.

    1- all model accords share the same front fenders.

    2-hatchbacks and coupes use the same doors

    3- all accords have the same wheelbase, which means the space from the door to the rear wheel will be the same


    Now put it all together and you see that the hatch and coupe have the same side measurements.

    These people that told you the side skirts would not fit, had they test fitted them?

    The only problem I see would be the back bumper. The hatch rear bumper is 3 inches shorter that the coupes and sedans.(which share the same bumpers)

    so the hatch bumper is shorter? like from front to back? i should get a sedan bumper and test fit it and mold it and see how tough it would be

    I was talking to Erebuni. I'm going to assume that they test fitted it. The person I talked to said without a doubt that the front would fit on and the sides would need to be modified.

    I saw a car locally that had a 90-93 integra front kit and it fit better than the 90-93 Accord one.

    I could tell it was from a teg cause they had not cut the raised part that goes in between the teg headlights.

    Is it one that you see often? I'd really appreciate it if you could get a pic.

    I saw it a couple of times but havent run into it lately. I doubt I would be able to get a picture but the guy said he didn't modify the front bumper at all just plopped it on.


    I saw the blue Accord with the 4th gen kit on it in person at nopi and let me tell you the teg front bumper fits alot better.

    That's great, you talked to him and he said no mods to get it to fit. I think I'm going to my local speedshop after work today and see if I can test fit one onto my car.

    It still needed a little bit of work to fit properly , but its less than the fourth gen accord front.
