One of them is the Seibon Front Lip Spoiler. It is a very attractive looking product and once installed gives the Accord a lower and meaner or exotic looking front end. This product is made out of one sheet of carbon fiber, unlike some of the competitive products that use multiple pieces, which can crack after a while.
The finish is called "wet" look, which is a glossy type of finish. It is enhanced by a clear coating which protects the finish from normal hazards such as fading from UV exposure. The company claims that this is better than a typical Gel coating.
There are a couple of different styles for different year Accords. From a practical standpoint I don't know that any particular style will give any advantage over any other.
Front spoilers were originally designed to allow the air flow over the car to press down on the front end. This was to keep the front end from rising as your speed increased. The last thing you want at speed is to take off like an airplane.
Since when a car accelerates there is a weight transfer to the rear, a front engine car will not have as much traction on the driving wheels as a rear engine vehicle. I'm not sure, but I assume a front spoiler will increase the traction for a front drive car. Does anyone out there know for sure? If so, please let me know and I'll post it here.
