Lips (no...this is NOT NWS, nor is it racist...)

[EvasiveEF9]

Post a picture of your front end (if you've got a lip) and tell us what lip it is (if you don't mind sharing)

Or...lips from other cars. Doesn't matter... I just wanna see how some look.

[Jay12know]

This is a nice lip (not my car :( ) and those r fogs off of a prelude.....i think late 80's something.

[EvasiveEF9]

I think that's the Si lip, isn't it?

[Jay12know]

Yeah it is it just looks really good black on that fresh rio red paint.

[EvasiveEF9]

What throws me off is his paint scheme on that front bumper. That's NOT and OEM setup..

[AnTi-PooN]

my lip... home depot FTW

[Jay12know]

lol yeah but i think its pretty clean......

[EvasiveEF9]

Pretty good for a...what are those, about 12 bucks to pull off a homedepot setup? Not bad at all. I halfway wonder what a rear would look like...

[crhatchzc]

if your wanting to go with a rear lip us the si front lip and just notch for exhaust

[EvasiveEF9]

Is that what people keep doing? I've seen a couple "rear lips" and I'm like "WTF, thats' NOT JDM (on the hatches, anyways) and it's not OEM..."

[crhatchzc]

yeah people will us si lips for the rear let me try to find a pic real fast

[EvasiveEF9]

Reps if I can if you find it.

[crhatchzc]

best picture i could find this fast but you see how where they notch it for the exhaust

[EvasiveEF9]

...you would pick a dark car...in the shade...

LoL. It's alright, I'm all over the place looking at different paint setups and stuff. I think I've got a final idea of how the car's gonna be painted :)

[crhatchzc]

nice you gonna make it a surprise or you gonna tell us

[EvasiveEF9]

Kind of a surprise...

What I can tell you is it's gonna be a dark color. Which presents half my problem. I'm stuck in debate over painting with color or black on the:

Door handles
Mirrors
Side moldings
front and back bumper "moldings"
Lip (if I put one) (front and back) (if I go black, I've gotta make the body lines of the sides somehow match up)

Cuz if I paint it all...there's gonna be no contrast on the sides...jsut a painted side. The black side moldings won't do (just trust me) so those have to get painted. The door handle being the only black thing on the side won't look right...it'll stand out too much. Painted mirrors look better than black...but it's surrounded by black (weatherstripping, glass, and that top of hte door) and so that leaves me with adding a lip and "lip" down the side. So it's just a matter of how to make all of it come together...

Oh, and right now I'm debating painting the windshield squirters with color or with black. Black adds contrast and will match up with the front bumper's "mouth" which will be black...but painted squirters look good...

If you wanna see what home depot lip looks like on front and rear here are a few pics from my hatch

Black out your plates when posting pictures online... :ninja: Security reasons.

I think that rear lip is a little bigger than what I'm aiming for, though.

[EvasiveEF9]

That's the ZC front end, isn't it?

[Mad Mike]

That's the ZC front end, isn't it?

you talking to me?

[Papa_Smurf]

That's the ZC front end, isn't it?

lol it's the same lip i have, yes Ben, there's nothing Zc about it eccept i rep it and i have a ZC, if that's what you were implying.... sounds like you were naming the lip after me, hahaha

slow hatch had it before me, so i can't take credit, although i did not steal the idea from him

[Papa_Smurf]

Well, here's my MK3 lip...

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/pizzaface01/Alan3.jpg

but the only problem with the MK3 lip is that it's not a perfect fit, and that it will be the lowest part on your car, almost giving it the "snow plow" effect.... i am trying to find a way to make the side skirts lower, there's this guy who has the same lip and skirts, i'll post that in a minute...

but i's go with the integra front lip, like Guy's (bad pic, but u get the picture)
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h7/pizzaface01/Alan2.jpg

It's not like the Si lip, it has more of a design to it... looks classier IMO.

[Papa_Smurf]

MK3 lip and HX skirts, same setup as mine, but notice how much lower his skirts are.... mine almost some up to the bottom of the door, where is are soooo low....idk, i want to get another fet of HX skirts and make it look like his hatch, and ditch the front mudflaps.

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wNzYyOTQ0NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D.jpg

And for the person who said you can use the Si lip on the rear... how did you do that? like the angles are different and sh1t, i tryed to put mine up to the rear and it didn't seem like it would work on the sides cause the front and rear bumpers are shaped differently...

[Papa_Smurf]

Ben, you have a rather large message in your in box...

i'm leaving to go out of town as we speek, but i will try to get on once of twice over the next two days if i can find a computer.... hope the info helps you bro!

My vote is:
Front: DA "type r" lip....or w/e Guy has, i've read it's called a type r, but idk....w/e
Side: HX skirts
Rear: Retrofit the EF Si lip.

Lip kit FTW!!!!

LoL @ dare and alan...

Watch, now I'm gonna have like a decked out EF, JDM front, fully audio/ICE...and it'll get stolen, broken into, or slammed into a curb at the Varsity...

[Papa_Smurf]

nah, if you really go all out on a car like that, then you need a good place to store it, and i really wouldn't let it out of my sight, I.E. leaving it in parking lots @ the mall/movies... they tend to get fawked up there.
