[quickdodge®]

i just got tired of looking like every other civic in the world.

That's hard to do, man, lolol. Clean car, though. Later, QD.

[rhd_civic_ej]

im in the middle...but i know one thing you def need to paint everything behind it black, and get that black rad. paint for the rad. and A/C stuff.

[Donati03gt]

i like it .. put the mesh in

[quickdodge®]

. put the mesh in

Yeah and bring back 2001 while you're at it. Later, QD.

[boostedb16]

That's hard to do, man, lolol. Clean car, though. Later, QD.yea i know. alittle change is better than pulling up to a meet/show and thinking "damn my car looks like 90% of the one's here". i am not downing anyone's car by no means. i still think the oem front looks good but i wanted to change mine up a bit.

[boostedb16]

no mesh.......but i would like some of the plactic type stuff that goes in the oem upper grill to put in it. doe's anyone know where i can get some of that in a sheet?

[Romeo]

it doesnt look too bad, i guess. I would like it better if the upper grill area was a little bigger.

[4uh8ers]

i think it looks really good. With the stuff behind it painted black, it would look perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boostedb16]

i think it looks really good. With the stuff behind it painted black, it would look perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everything behind it will be painted black this coming up weekend. i was going to do it today but it was kinda nice out so i washed it so it would match the front bumper lol.

[OneSlow5pt0]

looks real good,but would look even better with a IC

[GetFRESH!]

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Always awesome to see someone go out on a limb and try something a little outside the box. And now that there are more and more 6th gens sporting Airwalker/BYS style fronts due to Weaksauce's replica, this front is a nice breath of fresh air.

But please for the love of fuck's sake... don't put the chicken wire mesh shit in there. I'll have to slap your ass back to 1997 and buy you a Mase cd. :lmfao: jk


Fill it up with a nice big front mount.;)

...or yeah spraying the core support/rad/ac stuff black would work too.

Anyway, props to you sir :goodjob:

[d_day87]

looks good, i think it will look better with everything painted black behind it.

[Ricer]

what is outside the box about a cwest bumper? i'm not saying i dont like it... but that is still WELL inside the box if you ask me.. but that also could be my 5 years in a '99 Si talking.. where it seemed like just about every other EM1 had a cwest bumper

[The BUCKY]

i like it bro. adjust your suspension a lil and ride out. i have been trying to find a nice front for mine now. something diff

[boostedb16]

i need coilover's so i can get it alittle lower.

[JITB]

wow that looks great... about time we someone step out of the box...lol

[secondgencamaro]

i washed it so it would match the front bumper lol.

Be sure not to use soap around the front bumper for a while. When the bugs aren't so attracted to it anymore is when I'd start washing it with soap.

[LS2ner]

Maybe get the half core rad, a nice shiny header from Vteckidd, and an Oil cooler to fill up that hole. Just my opinion.

<---spent 4 years in a '99 ej8. I get it too man. :goodjob: I wasn't saying it was like something nobody's ever done... I'm very aware of the prominence of the C-West bumper. It's just that as of late, no one seems to want to try to rock anything but the oem front cause otherwise it wouldn't be "jdm" enough or would just be ricey or whatnot. Just seems to be a little tiptoe away from that. Still technically "in the box"... just off in its own little corner, you know?

[HachiDori]

Only aftermarket honda bumper that is tits :)

Looks good!

[Ricer]

[Maniacc]

[Random Hero]

[dELfONiK]

[EJ_Allmota]

[Farrow2005]

HOtness dood

[boostedb16]

im not feeling that joint at all.. The ride height and size of your wheels does not make it any better for me.. :2cents:i am working on both the wheels size and the height.

[EJ_Allmota]

[ablown95]

[boostedb16]

thanks everyone like or dislike.

To give paint time to fully cure. You'll notice bugs sitting on your bumper because they're attracted to fresh paint. When they aren't there anymore is what I've used as an indicator that the paint has cured enough to wash. Waxing is a definite no-no for 90 days.

[Sentra]

you need to take a picture some place else, a nice flat smooth road. this picture makes it look like your a chevy ridin high.

[Brian*]

It looks clean*

Waxing is a definite no-no for 90 days.i have painted about 8 car's, 20 hood's, 6 bike's, and alot of other parts and i have never had any problems washing them 1 or 2 days after i painted them. if anything needs wet sanded and buffed. i do that the next day.

[LIKEG6]

Looks clean man. Nice paint work too.

[boostedb16]

thanks man.

[PURP]

Nice, man. Finally someone is going back to what makes a car look good. It also seperates the nutswingers from the real enthusiast. Nice work

[egb18c5]

its ur car dude but i think ur car look so clean wit the 2000 front. no disrespect
x2

[Mr. Clean]

hrrrm.... i'm gonna be honest.


i really thought this was going to look a lot better. it just seems to big to me now. maybe it's just that the grill is too small or that the whole thing is just too big. maybe slam the shit out of it and find some sort of fog light covers and a grill.

keep us in touch, but right now i'm kind of up in the air.

i still love you though lol. and you could put a big flat sheet of plexi-glass and put 100 suction cup dildos on it and it would still look amazing. and be a lady catcher. but maybe for other reasons at that point.

[Scotsman]

still teh hawtness IMO

[ackrite1]

i like, i like...

[97WhYt_TeG]

i've always liked that bumper! my advice is just cut out that little lip in the back of the grill and you'll be good...as far at height goes..u know me i'm all about dumpin it! but that's just me. haha props on paintin yourself man!

[itsnotarex]

I've always loved how the JDM parts are always so tasteful, and usually set the car off very nicely. I really like the way bumper looks on the car! And props for painting it yourself. Very nice.

And your car rocks. If I were to have a honda it would no doubt be done in the same style as yours. :goodjob:

[boostedb16]

thanks again everyone.

[AnTi-PooN]
