I know I don't have an Accord, but I brought this up a while back about putting an Accord front lip on my Vigor. Well, I did it and here is what I have to say about it.
I have a 92 Vigor GS. Didn't want to have the poor, pathetic excuse of a lip (see picture below) that comes on the Vigor. I wanted something more aggressive, bigger, etc. So I said hey...why not go with a CD5 (94-97 Accord) lip?? Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the process to get the CD5 lip to fit, but I do have pictures of the end results. The lip was too long so it hit the wheels and protruded from the front, so I had to dremel the ends off. Some other dremeling here and there. Nothing with the width though....width is perfect. There were some fitment issues - ie: I put in two bolts in the front middle of the lip to hold it to the bumper and the amount of space you have to work with under there is very limited. Pair of vice grips to put the bolt through the top while you fasten a nut from below, etc. etc. And 6 self tapping screws were used. End result is satisfying but I'm probably going to go back in a few days and clean it up some....started to rain on me so I called it good for today. As far as I know, nobody has done this before....at least I haven't read about it, so yea there you have it....might be useless info but at least it's out there.
Very tiny, thin, pathetic front lip
My car without the lip
