Will the 90-93 accord body kits work???

Someone has to know, or know someone that has tried to aput a 90-93 accord kit on our cars. Has it been done? Of course it won't fit perfect, but it looks wicked close.

Is it a bad thing or a good thing when the rest of us don't know if you are actually serious or not?

Apparently a VQ30 just drops right in also Yo

I love my maxima, and if it looked more like a skyline it would awesome.
There are 2 maxima owners.
1. Owns a max feels complete.
2. Owns a max and can't help but try to do everything to make it as bad@ss as possible.

i will say, as the self proclaimed custom body guru of the 3rd gen forums, that if any kit is to fit , the closest one would be the 89-94 accord. it's as square in shape as our car. it will need plenty of massaging, but it's more realistic than anything else.


now that i've sounded like a cocky bastard, go on with the rice bashing

OMG shaved Your sig!!!!! WTF!!!

A VQ might be able to fit. Of course with the right money anything's possible. It's like everyone saying the VG30DET won't fit. Now look at MTcookson. Next in line is the TT version. SOmeone is gonna do it some day and everyone will finally be like damn. Until it get attempted then don't say it wont. Try for yourself first. Hopefully I don't embarass myself with these comments.

it's the VG30ET like DA-MAX pointed out and Mtcookson is not the first one to do it at all. There are many others who have done it before him

if by dash you mean house, then yes, i had put the stock stuff back into it for the winter to make it easier to drive, and i put the glass dash in to go to a show that i lost to a stock civic.
there's just way too many other things to do and not enough time. i miss my car........................................

having a honda part on a nissan is a step backwards, but I intended to work this kit into it. The front bumper is a r33.

It bolts right up, after you're done you can throw a VG30DETT in it too w/o a problem. Post pics when you're done.

my current setup is a vg30et with a relocated turbo. the work is pretty easy to get it in and such if you are good with mechanics and such.

if you want to learn more about the swap you can take a look at my cardomain page http://members.cardomain.com/mtcookson
