6th Gen Accord Type R style Front Lip Interests?

[SiReal]

All,

I have been trying to track down some subtle Type R Style front lips for our 6th Gen Accords for a LONG BLARDY TIME.. 98 99 00 01 02 4dr variants. Differences in 00 to 01 front bumper might mean slight modifications.

This is what I'm talking about:
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=3703&d=1166506335

For this car:
http://tech.ozhonda.com/diy/sireal/ck2loweringafter2vh.jpg

There is a trader who said that he might be able to get some in provided we have at LEAST 3 of the same lips in demand - i.e. minimum order. These lips from my knowledge are only available in teh states.

But if you commit, please be fair to everyone and don't go changing your mind. As for $$, not sure yet.

THIS IS NOT A GROUP BUY. THIS IS A MERCY BUY ;) TO MAKE UP THE NUMBERS SO WE CAN AT LEAST PUT IN THE ORDER.

So please put your name down if you are interested.

EDIT: and dont say eBay unless ur willing to pay $450USD for one.
EDIT: SEE POST 33 for update of price and what to do next if you want one!
EDIT: SAMPLE PICS POST 45

:p. . .. omgg ur a champion!!!!

Jeff as so0n as u get a price PM me and lets organise . . comon one more person!!

and chance of hunting down a rear lip??? dats wat i want more ..

[SiReal]

ur selling ur car man?! If you commit, u must buy or else I will cut your balls off with plastic scissors ;) hehe

edit: as for rear lips, they dont make them this style. remember, we have to order the SAME item. so I think we do it piece by piece. Or else we order a completely different lip kit which will cost more $$$$

this is as basic as it gets and looks nice so i wanna stickw ith this.

[vtec_jet]

doesnt look like its going to sell . .had a talk to a few ppl . . not really in tha mo0d to stuff around . .

if i commit i will pay b4 i order dw. . put ur plastic scissors away. .lol

see if u can find a nice rear lip. . that we BOTH like lol

[a.hay]

haha finally! ive also been looking for this forever....!! my only concern would be whenish, only because im taking a trip overseas in the near future... but yeah, im genuinely interested so any more info would be great


Alex

[SiReal]

Well, i'm just trying to get more numbers together so we may have a chance of getting this. thats all.

its even possible that it might not happen at all. but we'll wait for around 2 or 3 more ppl to show interest, confirm, then i'll talk to our lovely trader.

as for when, give it at least 1 to 1.5 months id say. even so, getting one to australia is friggin rare so buy them if they come!

[amato2]

yeah i am very interested i was looking for one of these for ages...

only thing is would your trader like to show us what avaliable for rear and side lips....cause i would like to get the whole car done

but count me in...Anthony

[Si1enzio]

WOOT... I'm definitely interested :thumbsup:

But before you make orders, let me know exactly how much its going to cost...

[SiReal]

Hey Anthony, well the trader hasnt offered anything. I'm actually trying to find bits from researching ebay, bodykit sites all taht and i will let him know what i'm after and he can see what he can get.

post up some pics + names of bits you like/want and we'll see what we can do in terms of numbers.

Anthony, as for Rear and Side, they aren't available in teh type R style , because this front lip is supposed to compliment the factory surroundings, hence the subtle nature. but there are other ones - Sensei knows, that might be of interest to you guys. i.e. wings west W type,.

silenzio, of cos will do before we make the order ;)

[Atjo]

Hey jeff, why don't use this bodykit:

http://www.atjo.org/teamagentz/images/past%20members/tco-364/05.jpg

[SiReal]

Its too much for me. I hate it ;)

[amato2]

well thats cool about the lip i guess i got to see it installed to really see what it looks like....


yeah still very interested in the lip......do u know when you going to get the pricing for it

[vtec_jet]

its such an "ATJO" bodykit. . haha . . front bar is scmik . . however my car iz to0 low for sumin liek dat. . i think id prefer sumin more simple . . a subtle front and rear lip . . rear is more urgency for me, the rear bumper sits way to0 high.

[SiReal]

So the list is:

silenzio

I'll send teh trader a PM and see what he can do if he has 5. then i'll let u know price.

Rear is something that I don't really need or want nor can find so I'll leave that for future for the time being. I think we should focus on what is available now and see if we can physically get it. Unless Solo, u want to do some research, post up the product and let everyone decide?

[vtec_jet]

yep for sure . . i'll see wat i can find and post up wen i do. .

[SiReal]

guys,

I'm just having a look at this. pricing is somewhat competitive. i've asked whether he can send to aus with 4 or 5 ppl wanting this. see what he says...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230068931601&rd=1,1

[EK4R]

^^ 25+60 USD posted internationally? or just demostic

[SiReal]

well its $25 + 80 USD international, but it states to USA and Canada only.

[EK4R]

i msged that guy regarding some other items he selling. ill see how much he charges me.

[amato2]

yeah is there anyway to get other things he is selling like....a front strut bar for my accord.......

could you find out the prices becuase im sure most ppl would be interested in them too

[Aco3n]

not trying to make you guys paranoid.. but try to get it from reputable ebayer, and please notice the price.. don't get the cheap one.. or fitment will be a pain in the ar5e..

[aDe]

They don't sell any for the 05 accord?

[SiReal]

not 100% sure. I wasn't actually looking out for that. But no reply = no hope so we'll see what our trader says. I think we'll have to wait at least the new year.

[Si1enzio]

SiReal, any updates ???

[SiReal]

well i'm still waiting. no reply..might be a no go after all. i've also contacted a few other traders ..will have to wait and see a little longer perhaps.

[amato2]

so is it still a no go or are we going to get some kit for our cars lol


where else can we look for such things beside importing from the states cause that way too much

[SiReal]

well at this point, unforuntalye its a no-go. i've asked a few traders and they cant get these in.

so sorry guys, we tried but we failed. pooo.

unless u go custom. which is a pain.

[SiReal]

Guys, small breakthrough, we have a trader who can get some for us.

So stay tuned for the next couple of days. Once a solid price comes to hand, i'll PM all those who said "yes".

[SiReal]

trust me man, a WW kit would be awesome but shipping would be the absolute and final show stopper.

hence i've had to opt for smaller, streamlined options. i'll awaitng to hear back, but hopefully it should be before end of the day today. fingers crossed. if not, tomorrow ;)

[SiReal]

All, I got a price back from the trader who is actually egSi , Trav from undergropund imports. Due to the size of the item, the best price he could get is $260 shipped to your door no more to pay, which I think isn't too bad considering we'd probbaly be one of only a handful in Australia to have these.

So a PM will come your way letting you know what next if you are interested ;)

Heres apic just in case u forgot what it looks like:

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=3703&d=1166506335

[SiReal]

Just an update, Trav will also be including a set of white parkers for taht price. So thats $260 for the lip + parkers shipped to your door no more to pay.

My order is going in next Friday 9th Feb fyi ;)

[Sydsyd]

sorry to budge in...just wondering if anyone interested to get the kit i'm selling?:p

/end visuals.

Hope this helped sway some people to take advantage of this fantastic deal :thumbsup:

[SiReal]

Thanks for your help Ian, they look great and are a good reference. Might i just add, that the one on the bottom has be mounted funny and that it sits on the bottom of the bumper vs 'onto' the bumper.

[Atjo]

I think he wanted the car looks very low.

[SiReal]

I think he wanted the car looks very low.

Maybe I'll do the same thing ;)

edit: ian: gotta spread rep before i can rep you again ;)

I just noticed that after you pointed it out. I think it looks rather nice that way...I also think it might be painted black since it's glossy in those pics. (jdm look ;) )

[Si1enzio]

Omg, the lip is so HOT !!!
I Cant wait for it !!!!
Thanks Jeff (SiReal) for organising it & thanks to Trav (EgSi) for getting it :D

[SiReal]

yeah it looks great! Its simple too!!

Its taken a while to get a trader but we've done it ;)

[SiReal]

We've got three confirmed :thumbsup: Awesome stuff.

Awaiting replies from hitteam1 and vtec_jet.

Pics on post 45, pricing on post 33 and 34 ;)

[Xplodin]

Jeff, are u really counting on Solo... He is Mr No Show No Go Titus mofoer.... LOL haha

Halal :wave:

[SiReal]

haha.. you really think i am counting on him? haha I'm just leaving the door open so he can get it if he fronts up thats all.

[SiReal]

Anyway all,

Some have seen it but here is how it went.

Lip was meant for a pre facelift, so that meant it no fitting at all, pretty much. IT was too short. so I softed the ends and bent them out.

So i cut, and shaved, and heatgunned, and melted, and moulded hte focker and finally this is what I got.

I used brackets, nuts, bolts, rivets, spray paint, u name it. anything i could find.
