Not bad...though it looks strange with the lip up front and no skirts or anything in the back.

My car always looks like a 4x4 whenever I'm parked near you Hondas :/

I think the lip is fine! Just need some different wheels and the drop is perfect.

The lip does sit out a little more than I thought it would. I attached it over top of the old bumper, as it is double sided taped on, so it sticks out a little but that was the best it would fit. The fitment is pretty good around all the corners but I just have to figure out a way to permenantly attach it to the lower valance instead of the tape so it's not stolen if I ever park it somewhere besides work and home. The color is slightly off from the car, barely noticeable but I CAN tell so it will have to be repainted eventually. I used Fusion paint and it is VERY close but not Duplicolor so I will prolly wet sand it and respray it. It's nice and shiny and looks professional cause I would paint a coat, wet sand it, paint another wet sand it and then finally clear coat over it. It turned out really smooth and shiny, just the wrong shade of red. Not exactly Milano Red. But VERY durable paint. Not easily scratched like the Duplicolor will be when I re-paint.


The wheels- well I have another set that look REALLY good on it but I got to get tires for the wheels.
Here is a pic of them
I beleive they are Mugen replica's, but not sure.

Can't drop it anymore, they are 2.5" front and 2.25" R Skunk2 springs. Also that is the absolute lowest I can go because my driveway is gravel past the house so I am already scraping the road like a train with a plow. :eek:

I did find that when I dropped it that the rear driverside strut is blown and slightly bent :thinking: so that is the next thing is to replace the rear struts with some nicer ones and cut the bump stops for more travel.:goodjob: i did also break the bolt off that attaches the reear strut to the LCA on the driverside Gonna have to cut it off when I replace them. :(
Oh, after i get an alignment of course.

Nah, I like it the way it sits. I can't fit any more tire under there than what I have now. I'm just glad it doesn't scrub now:goodjob:

You really should lower that thing.

I agree, it doesn't look right, but from the front looks nice. A nice side of skirts would make it look even lower. But then once you do that, comes the rear lip. Looks good though so far.

No doubt. i wasn't sayingit doesn't look good. I'm saying the front lip LOOKS big b/c you have the factory black sideskirts. It wouldnt look as bad with new sideskirts or even painted sideskirts.

Also, it will look like it's dropped more with different tires, the tires are 45 series. The 50 series will look a little more tucked since they are taller. :goodjob: Also fix my speedometer calibration

I kinda agree. After I put the lip on, it took a little time for it to grow on me. It looked MUCH better after it was lowered.I'm still not sure it will stay or I will swap it for a Type R or something. I think it is a little large but who knows. Right now it is very removeable so I might take it off and see it without it. I haven't looked at it withouht the lip since it's been lowered. :???:

Yea, It's 3 cars wide and about 3 deep. We have had 9 cars on it for a party all side by side and 3 deep. But that's where the concrete ends. Since we love about 3-4 acres off the street, the rest of the driveway is gravel. the main reason I can't go any lower. :goodjob:

It's true.

Sorry you guys don't like the lip. I'm still on the fence about it. The rims, wheel, I have that other set that might end up on the car anyways. I like variety. I am a wheel whore anyways. Everything I have owned in the past ten years has had wheels on it except the Conquest Tsi which already has sweet OEM's on it. :goodjob:
