Accord 2001 Coupe - Rear Lip Question & Advice

[sonni_kuba]

Hello,

Just got my "Mugen Style" front lip installed on my 01 Accord and am feeling the need to complete the skirt/lip combo around the car.
Attached are some recent pics of my car.

For the side skirts, I was thinking of going with the BaysonR OE replica

For the rear lip, I was going to go with the OE replica from Bayson as well

However, as you can see from my pics, I've got two Vibrant mufflers that are tucked in to the rear valence cutouts, so I am thinking I will have to perform similar cutouts on the rear lip too.

Alternatively, was thinking of going with this one ...

... but I may have to widen these cutouts as well.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts.

The BaysonR lips should be fine without having to mod the lip.

Since you are having burn issues with your exhaust, you may want to look in to extending the hangers so that the exhaust sits a little lower.

As for the 'JDM' lip you posted, that actually looks very close to the Xenon sedan rear lip, and if you were so inclined to put that full kit on your car, that would actually look pretty good. There is one person who has the Xenon kit on their coupe, Xenon Coupe

If you are considering, I have the full Xenon kit and I am local to you.

Thanks for the reply, actually it's not burning, it's just black film that can be wiped off.
I looked at the Xenon kit, looks like a little extreme for the look that I am going for. But, I hear what you are saying about dropping the hangers, that way I would not have to do any cutting ...
The problem is that it would have to be cut and re-welded since I've gone 2.5 inch custom bend cat back

go with the oem reps for sides and rear

also Lower it.

Thanks, it's already lowered 1.4 front and 1.1 rear via Tanabee springs, but looking to go with coilovers before the end of the summer.

good choice

I would get the full OEM replica kit from BaysonR.

You should be able to sell that Mugen front easily enough, and I don't think you would have any worries about the rear lip.

the height your coupe is at, is pretty much identical to where i want to be

Ha Ha ... that's what I thought, but once you lower, you wanna go even lower

Plus, I need to drive the car in the Canadian winter (snow), hence the coilovers.
