How about a new grill? eBay has them for about $35 w/ shipping and they come w/ a Type-R badge if you decide to put it on. I've got on and its held up fine! As far as tail lights, TYC has some that resemble a Jaguar which are what i'm wanting instead of my current altezzas. Those are about 130 w/ shipping. Just type in "94-97 Honda Accord" on eBay and you'll find a million accesories. Good luck!

I have a 97 aswell and got a "Type R Grille" from ebay for around 20 bucks and it looks great. You can also colour match your OEM side skirts and get a front lipkit to give it a clean look. Ive also thought of getting the M3 Spoiler but have never seen it on another accord. Also window tint makes a HUGE difference in looks.



*ps* My sideskirts look like **POOP** but if you take them to a Paint and body shop they will look just as good as the car.

Nice Accord Jm. So how exactly do your front turn signals work? I noticed they are all white....or is it transparent when you signal?

wheel selection and ride hight are some of the most important visual mods u can do. down here in atlanta ( porb. the same other places) most 4 lug cars get 16"-17" rims and i am lowering my car an 1.5"

well i got 17" BSA black 8 spoke rims on Kuhmo ASX tires ... droppin it appears to be a problem cuz of a control arm or something above the rear tires ... i removed the front bumper lenses and moved the blinkers up to the corner lenses ... it gives it a lil sleeker look ...

yeah well i would just go with the other good ideas from the other posts, and i would take all the badges off, and this isn't a shot at you 19Accord97 but i wouldn't put any fake badges on or car cuz it take away from how clean of a car you really have.

What you are talking about adjusts the camber. That does not make any differecne with lowering your car.

fair enough then ... any good recommendations for lowering it , i.e just springs - coilovers , the grille is replaced with a mesh type r no badge and i took off the badges from the rear except for the h cuz it leaves 2 holes
