Just got off the phone with Honda Parts, and they quoted me:
$927 for the Rear lip
$811 for the front lip
$1045 for sideskirts
These prices include paint but not installation.
So I was thinking, all I really want is the front lip - would this look weird?
Has anyone on this forum just got the lip? or seen any euros with just the front lip?
thats expensive.
ring around, you can get the OEM kit down to about $2100 bar the rear trunk spoiler.
with just a front lip the car will look weird from the side.
$2100? Thats alright... so are you talking about Honda dealers or independent places?
Any in particular? :)
Honda dealer mate.
Just at the parts department, if you haggle more, they might give you trade discount!!
I remember I got quoted
$670 front
$670 rear
$760 sides
the kit comes painted anyway, so they shouldn't say include paint..LOL
Yeah probably the dealers wanted to make it sound more sweeter by saying includes paint...
They probably think we are dumb asses... But in reality probably we know more about our cars then them...
oem body kit looks great but driving through some sydney car parks / crappy drive ways or the various speed humps does my head in
hmmm 2100....for another 700 or so bucks u can get the genuine Euro R bodykit. Front, rear and sides from IS Motorsports. Thats in sydney btw
*Drools* The Euro R bodykit looks so much sexier then the oz factory bodykit for the euro's...
Try Getting a Mugen bodykit and lower ur fronts and u will find that ur car is more of a bulldozer... The factory bodykit is not that low low, the mugen one is definetly lower and is much longer as well...
Also having just a front spoiler won't look good moite... U need the at least the side skirts in there as well...
Yeah? what I'd like is EURO R kit....one day, one day
i think it would look wierd with just front bar. maybe you can buy one piece at a time LOL
Ah, maybe you can get away with just front & sides.
ahhaha...thanks guys. Yeah I thought that just getting a front spoiler would be kinda weird..
Think I might just go the lot..if I can get it for $2100 that is..
I just got a quote of $1250 delivered from a perth based shop for the tal bodykit:
http://www.spoilershop.com.au/
but im not sure of the build quality. Looks pretty good from the photo though.
The Talon kit is just a clone of the OEM kit. is $1250 painted? probably not right?
Does anyone have a link for the Euro R kit for sale in Oz? I know you can get it from the US but its easier from Oz.
I have seen a car with just the front lip and it looks stupid. I also saw one with just the sides and it also doesnt look that good. Finally I have seen one with the front and sides and no rear and it looked fine. Obviously, full kit is best though :D
If its Spoiler shop then it won't be genuine honda parts & most probably its made out of fibre glass....
Its a talon kit.. Which means its $1250 then it won't be painted + u got to fit it...
For that kind of money u might as well get a Replica Full Mugen bodykit minus rear wing spoiler for $1200 from www.carquest.com.au
At least the front bumper is one whole piece and not an extention...
U still need to paint it and fit it as well.. In the end it all depends on how good ur panel beater is at preping the bodykit, painting it, and fitting it if u choose to get a fibre glass based bodykit...
how much are you looking at to get the front lip, sides and rear painted and fitted?
i agree with Pum[Z]. Mugen replica bodykit for 1200 is much better....
if u dont believe me, just check out PUM[Z]'s car! hahahaha BLING BLING TO DA MAX BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY :D
A rough estimation will be around $1000 for real good quality work...Quote:

Thanks Stephen.. So u decided to get the Mugen bodykit or wat?? or u going to get the Euro R kit??
Yeah good info Pum[Z], thanks. Your car looks mad mate!! 'cept I bet it must be a pain going up/down steep driveways.. :DQuote:

plust another $1200 for painting and fitting.....so that there is $2700.
Add $800 to that, its $3500 for the original mugen bodykit that is already colour coded for the euro so painting wont be necessary. this price includes fitting
Whao, $3500 is a good price, I was quoted nearly $4500 when they first came out.
I have the front lip + rear boot spoiler combination. It doesn't look too bad. But I can't deny it will look even better with the full body kits on... sigh.... not enough cash...... sigh....
If I were you blkeuro, I will get Mugen front and side and rear skirts. They are very similar to Honda ones, but they flare out more on sides, and front skirt has 2 air intakes holes just below the fog lights. I dont think Euro R's front lip will fit our front bumper as the fog light/air intake section is deffirent to Australian version bumper.
I bought a HyperRev book Vol.83 re.Accord from recent trip to Japan. it got lots of info re modification. However, I can't read Japanese, so I can only look at those nice photos.
Honda's genuine parts (skirts and spoiler) come painted anyway, as I mentioned before in other post, diffirent colour skirt has diffirent order number, so that means they are painted in Honda factory in Japan with the exactly the same colour paint as the one used on car. so colour match guaranteed.
j[88r]: hope you already found the info you need from all the above posts in this thread. Ask Q if we can offer more info.
thanks again PNR888
i have silver aswell.. from the pic just the lip looks fine and i ithnk u n me are in the same boat. Strapped for cash but wanting to modify our euros.
I'll put up a pic of these wheels that i want ppl to see if they would look good on our euros...
...however no luck, cant upload a pic at the moment. Well i want 18s konig - unknowns
If those pics of wheels are on website, just post the website, so we can visit there and check it out for you.

cheers
btw Mr_05Euro
the only kit u can get from a dealer/parts department is the OEM Honda kit.
Mugen, Talon (copy of OEM), Lucky Star, Feel's etc etc are all after market
Hi Mr 05Euro:
Just to add a few info to the previous post:
1. With the ones you get through Honda dealer, they are genuine Honda parts, and come already colour coded to your car. Come with 1 yr warranty if purchase after delivery of your car (I think)
2 Mugen, as you probably already know, is a Japanese company makes part and accesories exclusively for Honda cars. I am sure you can look up in their website http://www.mugen-power.com
3 Some local companies over here copy some big international companies's design and moulded the body kits out with fibre glass, and usually cost less.
Hey Stephan r u getting the Mugen Kit from IS Motoracing?
Fr3aKi3- Try www.ismotorracing.com ask for Chris
$3500 for the original mugen bodykit? Where can i get it? just wondering there are two different styles of mugen bodykit, Which one you guys talked about? same price for them?Quote:

LOC888 yeap. getting it from them. They seem reliable and they said that since its genuine honda/mugen part, it will already be colour coded with the current make of euros. was that the case for your Euro R kit? Probably gonna order either september of this year or jan/feb next year. we'll see how my finances goQuote:

blue euros look hot whichever way u decide to go, whether its grille/lip or front bar.
Thanks to Fr3aKi3 and PNR888 for their kind reply,
Just wondering does anybody know a place or website in sydney that i can buy the Luckystar bodykit. and roughly how much im looking at painted and fitted.
Thanks
The mugen kits got a wide opening hey, beasti. Today i saw a holden with a intercooler, im pretty sure its one of those airfilters that look like a intercooler.
However, im planning to get a mugen kit aswell. Would anyone ever put one of them fake 'intercoolers' on that kit??
I somehow still prefer not the full bumper, but the front lip only.Quote:

first pic (silver) is just the mugen lip addon to the orginial bumper than comes with euros and mugen grille change. (thats why it still has the foggies)
2nd pic (blue) is full mugen front bar replacement
my euro is black, i will probably go for full front bar conversion, but i don't wanna take off my fog lights. :(Quote:

dam stephen.... made me waste 10minutes trying to search for "IM Motor xx...."
:p
Fr3aKi3 hahahah my bad mate. me no speak engrish....
hehehe :D
The oem fog lights don't fit into the mugen front bar... So sorry to say u won't have no fog lights on the front bar.. U have HID's so whats the use of the foglights when u have HID's in normal driving...Quote:

I was actually referring to the first silver pic and the second silver pic :DQuote:

The only thing different is the size of the actual pic, like in one u see the whole car n the other the windscreen is chopped off
