(plus, someone asked for a paintable fiberglass wing, isn't it possible to paint the cf one, plus it will be lighter?)

Nice ride. The only price i have seen on the Mugen CF wing is $980.00. If this is what you paid(which i doubt) then your a baller for sure. haha playing but serious. A grand for a wing. hell no.

Thanks for all the good comments doods! There aren't any fiberglass wings out yet, but you can always paint the carbon fiber one. I got the J-spec kit on there, so both of the re-bars are toast! Now I'm gonna start workin on my engine and suspension. I got a Rotora big brake kit sitting in the back waiting to be installed, and I'm planning on: Black Injen intake, Custom piping or Tanabe RM, Progress F and R sway bars, and possibly Hondata. Not too much, so stay tuned!

Hey rocky,

I'm noticing something weird about my buddy club kit that i picked up from showstoppers... the front end looks different from all the other buddy club kits out there. the space between the top grill and bottom grill is very very thin.

Do I have a different kit? I noticed even your front end has more space between the bottom grill and top grill... looks like you have at least 2" mine is only 1/2"!!!

Is mine a defect???

Mine
http://hisurf.com/~scott/civic/buddyfront.jpg

notice how narrow the space is between the top and bottom?

Yours
http://www.ephatch.com/forum/attachment.php?s=&postid=197842

seems like you have 2" or so...

im just concerned more about the JDM rebar not fitting because there is no clearance?

hmmm i just noticed that even the grill is different!

Si Death
08-10-2003, 08:52 PM
wow it is different, ur grille still got the dip, if i remember right, the buddy club kit has sort of a flat bottom to it without a dip.

(like what u did with the shiny stuff :p :p )

Have any of you ever seen this front end before? I have searched all the photos of ep'ers with buddy club kits and all of them look like Rocky's....

fsugatorbait
08-13-2003, 08:49 AM
I wonder if the kit he has is the JDM style. I think I remember that showstoppers had both JDM and USDM styles available, one being lower to the ground than the other. Just my .02

beansbear
08-13-2003, 09:13 AM
im pretty sure my kit is JDM because the USDM front end is longer and the USDM rebar would fit with the kit on. This kit does not...

Rocky? Chuck? Whats the word????

Si Death
08-14-2003, 12:12 AM
two questions:

So what style kit does rocky have on his ep?? (USDM or JDM??)

and 2nd which kit is lower to the ground???

beansbear
08-14-2003, 01:16 AM
i am pretty sure I have a JDM style kit.. but just the front bumper is different.

the USDM rebars needed to come off the car in order for the new bumpers to fit. They would not fit at ALL with the USDM rebar attached to the car.

What i want to know is WHAT BUMPER IS THIS BECAUSE ITS NOT A BUDDY CLUB FRONT. It is something that LOOKS SIMILAR but it isnt the same thing.

What Rocky and every single other Buddy Club replica kit has is different from what I have.

I feel kinda bummed because I ordered a buddy club kit and what I got is something else... well at least the front bumper.

Suk02Si
08-14-2003, 02:51 AM
Rocky has the jdm one, the USDM one hangs waaay too low.

Where did you get your bc kit from? The manufacturer probably added a couple of their own touches to the mold which they felt were lacking in the original.

beansbear
08-14-2003, 09:31 AM
i got it direct from Showstoppers USA.

So I just dont get it.
