Build your own P10 front kit

[str8maxn]

First of all thanks for all the help. I got very close to matching the fender lines yesterday. But I still have a few questions:


1. How are you attaching\securing the bumper?

2. Could you provide more details about attaching the grill.

3. Did you have to cut away the small lip on top of the accord
bumper to aline the grill?

4. Did you consider molding the small plastic inserts under the
headlights?

5. Any recommendations on modifying the rear bumper?

6. I could also use your input on how to modify and attach M3 style side
skirts from a 90-93 Accord.

Thanks

1. Look at my original post, check the list of parts. If that doesn't help, tell me. I'm trying to edit some pic's with pointers.

2. 1st work on getting the kit to fit right. If the kit fits right, then the stock grill can be snapped in without any molding.

3. I did have to cut the tabs.

4. No, copying the stock bodyline was easier.

5. I'm unemployed right now, and trying to do a major engine swap with no cash. So I don't have time to work on the rear, but I really want to start on one.

6. How much are you spending on making the skirts? There are some pretty nice ones on the market.

Keep the questions coming, I'll answer them the best I can.

Cool thanks for the reply and I hope you find a job soon....


I decided not the mold the grill to the bumper. I have a few ideas of how to secure it know but pics would help.

I am in the process of getting the rear splitters from AreoTech in NZ thru GRUNTER. I am looking at about $100.

I ended up pruchasing a set of M3 style side skirts for an Accord. (used M3 Style Skirts were a $115) They will not be a perfect match but close enough.

I should be able to install them with little to not trouble. All I need to do is cut about 3" off the rear end and re-install the cap.

I plan to secure them by scewing them to the inner door sill. I'll post pic's when I am done..

Good job, as long as you don't cut the attachment tabs on the grill, you should be fine with installing it.

hey primera i need to do you split the front accord bumper down middle or will fit with no moddy just on the sides. will the rear bumper work with no moddy or what?

[p_r_i_m_e_r_a]

All you have to worry about is the top edge (under the grill), and how deep any vents are in the Accord kit.

If you go out and buy the copycat corner-store knockoff kit all bets are off. These kits hardly ever fit the car they were intended for.

Rear bumper is still uknown, maybe the guy with the mismatched custom kit G20 will know.

(Accord rear is as good of a guess as any)

My big mouth bumper seems to flare out a little more then the stock bumper. If I heat the fiberglass bumper up a little will it bend or will it burn?

If anyone know the question please let me know.

Juan

[p_r_i_m_e_r_a]

Fiberglass can be heated, I've been told even a hair dryer can sometimes heat it enough to bend.

I suggest a good working heat gun.

COOL thanks for the answer. Did you have to do this with you installed you PW kit?

Juan

[p_r_i_m_e_r_a]

No, but different kits=different fits.

Can U send me a pic?

It might take a little work, but fiberglass is easy to manipulate.
