Bonus Pic

I took pictures of the blue kit as it would show contrast on the white car. The kit was just placed on the car, so mounting may be straighter, better when properly installed. It fits all USDM EP3's, but as for getting it in the US, I am not sure. Here is the last pic.

It is a HONDA kit. I took them out of the Honda Japan boxes. It is made for US Spec cars. NOT JDM. This kit WILL be included on the new SiR's here in Canada for FREE.

How do the side skirts attach to the body? Is there a black rubber seal around the rear skirt? I hope it isn't...it would look nasty up close. Thanks for the pics though!

I wonder if it will make an appearance over here ??

07-03-2003, 03:06 AM

You Brits are spoiled...over the type-r kit??? j/k :D I like how the front splits the grill into three parts. Really subtle but makes it look sportier. Kinda like the differences between the 96-98 and 99-00 civics. The rear looks like ass though...too low. Too big and the blacked out area reminds me of a catfish when looking directly behind.

It's funny, everyone loves the kit now...before, it was ewwww! I think the kit looks okay, I really don't like the rear, from the full view I saw of the white one.

The front looks good at certain angles...maybe if I saw it in person I'd like it more.

so true, and it will already be painted.

glw

07-03-2003, 08:13 AM

i like the looks of the kit, but i dont like how it looks tacked on... i think they should have made full bumper covers with the tops like stock and the bottoms using from the crease down of the kit. surgery at the red lines sort of...

http://sourcecodegeeks.com/public/civic/images/coversurgery.jpg

maybe some aftermarket company can hack that together... hopefully in urethane...

maybe someone here with chopping skills can do it, too...

how much for the wing and skirts?

Mugen Power

07-03-2003, 08:28 AM

Yeah, I remember when EVERYONE was hating on that kit when pics of it were posted from that show.

I think it looks nice but I have to agree that it looks kinda bad cuz of the tacked on look. I wouldn't have minded a lower lip-type deal that doesn't extend so far up...

02NJHondaep3

07-03-2003, 08:32 AM

I changed my mind, I dont like it anymore. I only like the spoiler.

I would like the USDM wing and skirts, with the JDM Front and Rear Bumpers and Lips.

The nice thing is that the USDM parts are already painted.

thats a nice kit, i like that one and the type r......not sure which one i like better. like others have said, it would have to depend on price. yeah the front bumper is different, but it grows on ya.

keep us posted on $$

do you think that the kit can be molded on to the existing body to make it look like one piece?

the kit looks whack. minus the spoiler and skirts

r3p00c

07-03-2003, 11:07 AM

i can't say i'd buy that kit... the way the lip of it matches up to the front and rear bumpter look unfinished and low quality. I have to say i'm pretty disappointed... i was looking forward to a nice quality fp kit from honda. why couldn't they just make something that looks pretty much identical to the type-r lips? guess i'll just keep waiting for a decent lip kit to come out... if it ever happens... :(

on a side note, however... i would DEFINITELY buy a set of the 16" FP wheels in gunmetal or white, if they become available. :D

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... but the kits are going to be allocated, meaning they are coming with the car only and are not for sale independantley. Hopefully this will change in a couple months or so. I spoke with my parts guy and he said that they could arrange a deal with some one who was buying the car and didnt want the kit, acting in sorts as a broker. Give it time...

I would for sure be buying the wing and skirts....MAYBE the rear lip, but not the front....I don't like the way that it is molded around the license plate frame and the side marker lights....

Hopefully this won't be the case in the US. Then again, didn't the 2004 brochure say that the Si is gonna have some updates? Maybe this is it...

07-03-2003, 07:12 PM

Ok, so I called a couple Honda dealers in windsor to see what I could find out and nobody seems to know anything about a lip kit for the Si. What I find most interesting about this is that honda.ca (http://www.honda.ca/Personalise/HondaEng/Models/carconfig/carconfig.asp?ModelName=CivicSiR&c=993333&yr=2003) shows a Special GFX Edition for the Si at no additional charge as an option for the 2003 SiR.

Thanks for do that.

I wish it would just blend better into the body but I guess that can not be done because it is not a full bumper. I like the kit because I can keep my OEM fog lights but unless I could find a way for a better blend the kit I would be happy. I guess since then I would have to wait for painting I would just do a buddy club kit.

Just wondering is the kit fiberglass or poly?

07-03-2003, 08:42 PM

i think it's okay looking. the wing is the nicest thing about the kit (is it the same as the ctr wing?).

the side skirts are kinda ugly, only because they come higher up onto the fender than the ctr ones. it sorta almost looks like it needs fender flares to connect the skirts to the bumper. i think i would need to see it in person...

the front bumper is ugly period... they should've made a lip instead...

the rear is decent...

Sooky

07-03-2003, 08:48 PM

decided to photoshop the front lip since my ep's white too & wanted to see how it was like... doesnt match that well but it was only 5-10 mins of work :(

http://members.aol.com/riceracero3/private/ps.jpg

... personally not liking it besides the wing & skirt... but it sure looks a lot better having the lip white rather than blue on a white ep ;)

my pc is not photoshop equipped. Can some one please photoshop this kit in black on the car. Im having the bodyshop spray my spoiler black while their fixing the rest of my car. Ow by they way my insurance estimate was $6,100. I went back to the crash site and found that I has hit a tree, bush, pole and drove along a fence. Paradas are pretty good when there full tread and warm and sticky...but no tread and cold tires on a cold night=$6,100 greenbacks!...:rolleyes:

no it's not...

Honda is actually making this kit exclusively available to the canadian market only...

they had to do something with all the ugly ass kit's they made, so to get rid of them, they're hooking up the canadians and their SIR's with them...

they thought twice about giving us that ugly kit, so it looks like we're getting the CTR kit with 17" wheels.

Could somebody please take a second and explain to me all the craziness over the Canadian GFX/FP kit?

Is it just the looks, or what?

The EP3 USDM bodywork is completely stable at 120 miles per hour, and that's about all you're going to get out of the stock motor.

Help the old guy understand. george,

i'm with you. i like the looks of the ep stock (except for the dainty looking rear wing). it seems to perform well enough at the autocross. extra stuff hanging off the sides and front will only hit the cones easier.

don't listen to these these youngin's... your intelligent comments are welcome here, too.

I own an EP3 as my daily driver.

There's not much left to do w/the ITR w/out getting into the Stupid Zone as far as dollars per horsepower go, so the EP3 is becoming a prime candidate for modification.

Ground Controls. (A mistake...blown front shocks. LOL...)

Type S swaybars front and rear.

That's all.

I like the rates of the new Mugen suspension, and I might give that a try.

Car also needs an LSD for the track. Not sure which way to go w/that.

The kit will go to the US. It is a dead give a way because its not being offered in Red here in Canada. Since red EP's are not offered in the US and there isnt very many Red ones in Canada they wouldnt mass produce Red Kits. Think about it and it makes perfect sense.

The parts are not available for separate sale yet, I talked to my parts guy, he said in the next few weeks. I asked about prices, he told me the spoiler cost, A LOT LESS then the Type R one, and it does not need painting, unless you have a red or euro yellow. I can not post the price until it is finalized. Sorry.

bmx269

07-04-2003, 04:02 PM

The Honda Way in Abbotsford is where I took all the pictures. I live in Abbotsford. I would be able to get the kit for a better price than that, I have a friend that is the parts manager at a different dealer. He said that the part numbers for ordering the kit are not in the system yet, so there is not any retail prices.
