You already have a front spoiler, it's designed into the bumper. However, you can increase downforce on the front end by fitting a deeper spoiler with a more agressive forward facing bottom lip. A splitter is generally a flat (ish) pice of material, bolted or otherwise attached to the bottom of the spoiler/spoiler lip with a gap in between the two. That said it can also be integral with the spoiler and a diffuser I've never been too sure of the function of a splitter, i heard once the function of them was to disrupt the frontal airflow to reduce downforce on the front ends (remember they were developed from F1) because some cars had too much downforce. Looking up the definition on Wikipedia, it appears they are used to multiply the downforce by creating an extra pocket of pressure creating downforce on the area the spoiler is already creating downforce in. Given the speeds of F1 cars, i'd suggest the splitter would only make a difference to a road car at licence losing speeds so apart from the aesthetics, it's just extra weight to carry most of the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(automotive)#Splitters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the current exchange rate but probably ~£120 but check to see if they pay the Customs/Import Duty or you may find another 20% added on for Import VAT and possibly other duties that i'm not aware of.

Site Subscriber’s Kieran Posted July 4, 2021 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 Hi guys, I've managed to find a company in America that have a full ground effects package. Its specifying 2001 coupe, which has me second guessing. https://www.carid.com/2001-honda-accord-body-kits/razzi-body-kit-180352389.html Any suggestions guys? Thanks Kieran 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted July 4, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 The big question mark for me is that i believe the US models had minor changes over the years so would be worth checking if they have a kit for the same year car as yours. After that research to find out if there were any major changes to the panels the kit fits to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a dive into it and I'm going to stay away from it anyway, I'm going to keep looking around, just finding it so hard to find any sort of bumper splitters/lips. I love the car as it is, but I just want to make it look a bit meaner to go with the mean engine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different thought processes and tastes - i prefer the sleeper look so people don't suspect/expect it to be able to give them a clean pair of heels. Then enjoy their look of amazement when i leave them standing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I've been starting to think more of lately, I let my dad drive it for the first time yesterday, he wasn't massively keen until he got behind the wheel then he was instantly sold 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s Kieran Posted October 16, 2021 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Hi peeps, It's probably a long shot but has anybody on here purchased a lip/bumper kit on their honda? I know a few on here have the kit already on. I've found a supplier after months of trying £300 for front, rear, and side skirts and shipping. Seems a decent price to me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted October 16, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Have you had a look on USA websites? The Accord Coupe is still well supported over there for bodykits and such, you may be able to get a better deal and/or a nicer kit even factoring in the cost of S&H from there to here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s Kieran Posted October 16, 2021 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 I'm only wanting lip kit which attaches underneath the factory body, I asked lot of suppliers over there but because of covid they either refused to ship or were offering stupid prices! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s Kieran Posted January 2, 2022 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Happy with the results of my recent kit purchase! Ordered from fullcartuning, the customer service was amazing, took to a local paint shop who sprayed and installed for me! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
