What's up guys? My names Jordan. Unfortunately, i do not own a 6th gen, my girlfriend does. I currently am going to be trading in my silverado for a 5th gen camaro. My girlfriend started showing interest in modifying her car, so me, happier than a schoolgirl, figured i'd take on the project. It's my first honda(first import i've ever modded), and i'm just getting started. I have a couple of questions i'd like to have answered, but i'll post up the couple of pics i have of the car so far, and list the mods and future mods to her car.
Specs:
2002 Honda Accord LX Sedan
Eternal Blue Pearl Exterior/Grey Cloth Interior
2.3l engine/auto combo

Exterior:
-smoked tails
-10% window tint
-misc. stickerzz
-debadged
-10k HID low beams

Performance:
-Short Ram Intake, Spectre filter(intakes for sound anyways imo)

Suspension/Wheels:
-Tanabe Lowering Springs
-XXR 521's in black, 18x8.5 +30 offset,225/40/18 delinte tires

Interior/Electronics:
-Radio Surround,Shifter surround painted flouresent pink

Like i said fellas/ladies, it's just a start.
Here's a to be done list:
-Front lip
-Fog Lights
-10k HID High Beams
-Cleared Headlights(wheels won't be black anymore, so no black housings :/)
-LED taillights(no more smoked :/ she wants white, so she'll get white)
-re-paint wheels white
-colormatched side pieces and mudflaps
-Koni Yellow Adjustable Struts(or D2 coilovers, unsure yet on that one)
-Eibach sway bars
-some sort of strut bar
-Megan Header
-Apexi WS2 exhaust
-leather interior swap(grey with suede throughout)
-powdercoated calipers metallic pink

That's pretty much the jist of what i have going on so far and in the future. However, i have a noobish question of me that i'd like to ask you guys with more knowledge on these cars.

Her car is a 2002. I don't seem to be able to locate a fog light kit for her car, or a lip kit for the front. The only thing i've ever seemed to find is for the 98-00 sedan or the coupe front for those mods. Can anyone shed me some info as to what i can do? The only thing i'm seeing is changing to a 98-00 front bumper and going from there? If that's the case, all i should need is the actual bumper cover itself as it should just bolt right up to the existing mounts and everything correct? Thanks for the read, i tend to type alot. Any helpful info would be great guys! Thanks!

welcome to the club! your girls accord is really clean. as for the h.i.d's I would advise you to get a lower Calvin rating to get usable light I have 4300 and I love them I had 6k before and went back to my 43k since I lost so much usable light. as for lip kits just search there are plenty of them for these cars. I'm on my phone so I cant really help you out with that. I'm sure someone else will chime in later on today with more information. BTW nice truck!

Nice truck indeed. What years does the 5thgen Camaro include? My brother had a '93 Z28, then an '01 SS.

Only 98-00 2dr Accord models were equipped with optional OEM lip kits. The 01-02 2dr and 98-02 4dr had no lip kit options. But there are other lips than OEM that you can put on this car. Just do some searching and you’ll see what I mean. A good place to start would be to browse the members rides subforum.

If you change to a coupe bumper you also need the coupe hood to avoid having an unsightly gap between them.

There are OEM foglight kits for the 01-02 sedan, just don’t get them from your dealer because they are a ripoff. Even the OEM ones sold elsewhere can be expensive, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality, etc. I bought mine from here (scroll down):

Thanks guys, i'll try and answer all the things said in this post.
cjsaccord-i know that about the hid thing man, my truck has 6k lows and fogs, but she
wanted blue for some odd reason.
RedRyder- Thanks man, but wow 240 bucks for fogs? looks legit though, i'll take that into
consideration. 5th gen is 2010 and up. I had a 2010 SS but traded for the truck,
now i miss it everyday. I'll be picking one up soon.
dfaulkner- Thank ya broski
EscoStylez- Thanks for the help. NOOOOOO her taillights aren't going to be white. I'm
justwanting red over clear led tails. Just for whenever i change the rims/headlights i change the tails too because of the color palette change(blue/white not blue/black). And na i think i'll just trade it in :p

To everybody else- thank ya!!!1
