Pardon my ignorance here, but is that a Modified Mugen or it just seems a little different. I like it a lot. Seriously,. . . Iwas tempted to purchase your R lip but I need black and its a bit cheaper to get one not painted.

02-04-2004, 06:11 AM
i agree with phatfreeza, is it the angle or do the sides on the front stick out? Thats the only thing about that kit im not gaga over.. If they are probally wouldnt be too hard to sand it down..

Alright I'll chime in here and give my pointless $.02

It looks weird to me. Sticks out too much. It probably looks better in person.

Something aint right though.

For once I agree with Dunny. I love your car Edgar but I think it looked better with just the USDM Type R kit. I cant figure it out either but it just looks...odd.

Overall though- Awesome turbo/brakes/wheels= GREAT F@ckin EP!!

it looks good but it could have hung a tiny bit lower. and i think the us spec bumper really does break the flow up. i prefered the us spec ctr kit too

But it was just put on like a regular lip would, except for making the holes on the stock bumper for the air ducts.

i like the lip goes over the grill area and make it look less of a smiley face. i think it would look way better without the i-vtec sticker and the rims and turbo on my car. :D

ep nezay?? Do you autocross? I'm curious about clearance. I'm really interested in this lip. I love the type r, but this is a bit more aggressive and its cool.

If you do auto-x, would you be worried about serious scraping. I just want to add some aero pieces and I don't want it to be a waste of $$ because I ripped it off during a meet. Thanks so much for the feedback!

i think you should replace your front orange relector on the front bumper with a red one just like the the rear bumber. It would look sweet having it at both ends to go along with the red from your calipers and jdm emblems

I road race with the EP so can get the full benefit of the power =) , I have my EG for AutoX, road racing is much more fun also :)
Im not worried about clearance, the suspension should hold up my car from scraping.
The sides are only 1 inch(if that) lower than my CTR lip anyways, so not much difference.
Ill throw in the EP in action =P

Could you do me a favor and take some pics a little farther away and from the side, front, and a profile shot from the rear? thanks man, keep up the good work.:)

r3p00c
02-05-2004, 09:29 AM
this is probably a dumb question, but why did you take off your whole bumper for the lip to be painted? i'd think that once its prefitted you could just drop off the lip to be painted and put it on later yourself. unless you just needed your bumper repainted... i have no clue :)

jimmied
02-05-2004, 09:45 AM
i have a question about the "paintablility" of the ssusa kits. Are they really well made to where there is only minor prep involved. Or is the fiberglass i really have to work to make sure there are no imperfections? Please give me some feedback on that

During time of install I took the bumper off, I found it be easier to be installed since it was only me. 2 people would of been easier.
So, I dropped off the bumper and the lip since the body shop needed some part of the car to color match the lip.

The lips are very well made, I twisted it, pulled it, dropped it(4inches from ground) and had no cracks nor chips.
When the lip releases, it will be a pretty easy install if you are crafty(holes on bumper).:)

they look well made but i am just wondering how much prep has to go into them to get a nice paint job on them.

Is there a lot of extra sanding and filling or is just minor like most well made body kits?

ep_nezay
02-06-2004, 06:32 PM
Like I said, once its released, it should be an easy install.
Meaning, no prep needed, besides the holes in your bumper that need to be made.
