Hi guys I own 96 Accord and I'm thinking about to buy this body kit for it.
http://www.wingswest.com/products_detail.asp?page=1&id=289
I want to know your opinion if itll look good on my Accord which by the way is DX. Even better if somebody have this body jit installed on his car and can post pictures.
Now to the question. I'm thinking about instaling it myself to save some $$$. Does anyone know, or did it before? I think i'll have problems removing my rear and front bumper does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks in Advance

shit man i have that kit on my car (well i have the type W side/rear pieces, and my front piece isn't wings west but it's called invader, and it looks almost exactly like that). i'll see what i can do about getting some pics, but i don't have my own camera. the front piece is easy to take off, but i know i had trouble getting the stock piece back on by myself, it seemed like more of a 2 person job; whenever i got one side in place the other side would move, but you're only interested in taking it off. the stock front bumper is connected by three screws/bolts that are under the factory grill, then one bolt on each side under the corners, and then there's a connection at each end, at the farthest back piece of the bumper, connecting it to the fender. if you got any more Q's you can pm me as i have to take off my side/front piece constantly cuz my car can't get on a lift w/o doing that. oh and my car is black and i think the kit looks bad ass on it. as for the side pieces, they're kind of a pain in the ass. i don't remember how the stock ones come off, but i'm sure you'll be able to figure that out. putting the side ones, you just hold them in place and drill through, i don't konw if the holes in mine were pre drilled or if the original owner drilled them in, but a side piece on mine has 5 areas that it connects with the car: one area is connected to the front door jamb and another to the rear door jamb, each w/ 3 screws to secure it. then there is one area that connects to the underside of my car- this has 3 screws, and this is where it is tedious without a lift you can get under. then the very front back have 1 hole on them to further secure it. if your car's a coupe i'd assume it's the same w/ just 1 door jamb
