I'm planning to buy this kit on Tuesday, I've already signed up to purchased the lip. My question is, will GroupBuy send it out right away after I place my order? Or is it like a real groupbuy where I have to wait until there are enough people interested to buy the item? And how fast do they ship?

I think it looks good, but you should have just went for the Mugen. Really close in looks you know. Not bad though!!

Cool --

When you get it painted and take more pics, take them in the daytime so that everyone can see what the ground clearance really is. The flash at night makes it look as close to the pavement as a vacuum cleaner. ;)

01-25-2004, 12:14 PM
just order the lip from their website instead of the groupbuy. its $5 more though.

that lip looks good on your car hatchattack. when you gettin it painted. i have a white si also so it would be nice to see yours painted.

not planing on putting the lip on till i get all four pieces of my body kit or lip kit, yes i know all these things, yes i know it looks funny wiht only a front piece, i was just simply showing how it fits and looks to everyone that wanted to see

thanks for all the heads up!

I don't think it would look bad without the sideskirts and rear. What kinda sideskirts and rear would you choose with this front lip? I hate the BC rear...

Pick up the replica type R skirts and rear lip from showstoppers for $175 a piece shipped whenever they get em in.

how on earth are you getting the hfp rear. there has been such a big deal about it not being available in pieces.

That's just an illusion caused by the camera's flash being so close to the lens. The shadow from the lip, therefore, is practically straight on the other side, while the pavement further underneath the lip is being lit by the flash, and looks like it is right below the lip instead.

I did a quick & dirty addition of perspective lines to his wide shot to illustrate that he does have enough ground clearance. The lines come from the tops of the rims, the bottom edge of the rocker panels, and where the tires meet the ground.

As you can see, the lip extends only a couple inches or so lower than the line from the rocker panels, which means that it's only a couple inches lower than stock.

Looking forward to the finished product --

I think that those are a great deal for the price, they make it look like a whole new front end.. nice and agressive, yet it keeps a clean look.....

Here you have em. I think it looks good. But, it could use something else. Maybe the lower grillcraft grill would just top it all off.

Wow, that looks hella tight!!! :D I can't wait until I get mine. Did you install it yourself? How did you go about installing it? I was thinking putting 2 screws on each side and using DS sticky tape on the front bumper..:)

02SilverSiHB
02-04-2004, 06:04 PM
yeah, imagestation is going nuts. If I right click and and copy the url then take .orig.jpg and put it on the end I can then see the pic.

Here's the pics I just put up on wetodd

yeah I installed it myself with two tap screws on each side and as of the front, its a tight fit so I didn't use double sided tape, the lip is snug tight on the bumper.

dood, now that the lip is painted, it looks great... i kinda had my doubts about it cause i thought it looked too tall, but now that it's painted, it looks so much better than it did... (obviously) i'd throw on sum skirts and a rear valance or sumpin and she'd look hot... ;)

That's exactly what I was thinking because earlier photos made it look like a snow plow, but the painted pics look a lot better. Can we get a direct side shot so we can see how low it looks compared to the skirts?

your car looks clean man. very nice for such a cheap front lip. what happen to your wheels? you think you can get some more pics of the car from the side. i'm really considering the buddy club sides for my car. thank.
