Not quite sure about the 97+ comment about fitment. I just finished mine and the fitment is perfect. If a bumper is warped (as was one of mine), it has nothing to do with the product, but most likely the storage or shipping.

My Accord is a gem too. My sister is using it now though haha.

Celsiors are pimpsauce, youll love it. I think you know that already though lol. And thank you, lots of eyecandy and inspiration here.

I was that one yes, I'm not such an *** anymore. I still stand behind my opinion, but I dont disagree with yours.. Lets not continue that convo

Hey guys, just got a question for you. I'm in Australia and i'll probably be ordering the T&E vertex aero front lip from luxurymods.com sometime soon (as I cannot find this for the 97+ front bumper locally). What I want to know is what is the difference between a standard vertex kit and the T&E lip kit? The reason being is that ideally I'd like to only order the front lip from the US and get standard vertex side skirts and rear bar from a bodykit distributor in my area. But ... does the standard vertex sides and rear match up with the vertex front lip? Or is this the reason for the complete lip kit? Basically I dont want to have to import the complete lip kit from luxurymods as this would cost too much. Any help would be appreciated.

There gotta be more kit out there. I wanted a nice widebody for the SC but it's hard to look for a decent one. I like the ones off of the Supra. Maybe I'll be creative.

I think the closest thing I have picked up for a customer is the Vertex Ridge Wide Body aero kit.

I'm def. going to have to say that the C-One is my favorite. A bit flashier than stock but still clean and classy. Now if only the site had an english button...
