02-12-2004, 08:10 PM
That is hot man. The only thing I would change, personal preference, is the fog lights, IMO it would look cleaner withouth. That is minor tho, CAR IS BEAUTIFUL! *drools* :D

Thanks everyone... I'd take the fogs out too but then I'd have
holes :( .... I've got H&R's and no, I did not drill holes into my bumper... I made new holes in the existing plate holder

The kit fits real nice. I paid $800 for paint and install at Auto Explosion. It's a bit high BUT it was worth every dollar. They slightly modded the sides so it fits perfect (no gaps). In addition, shitty paint jobs are noticable on fiberglass... you know, that "wavy" effect? Well the paint almost matches the body (can't match satin silver metallic EXACTLY) and there is NO wave effect... HTH

sweet car:)

I would also like to get the lip kit but people with black eps who have it says its not a wise choice since the kit is made from fiberglass paint doesn't hold well on it and when it chips all you see is white dots.

Are you having any of these problems?

Thanks bro... yeah, if you look CLOSE and I mean your nose needs to be touching the bumper, you can see the white dots... but because the car is silver, it's not noticeable at all when you're standing in front of it.. you need to be on your knees and looking for it... I would not advise the kit for people w/ black ep's UNLESS you get like 10 clearcoats... ahhaha

damn.. i'm liking that mugen grill man.. i'm really thinking about getting it for my car, but i dunno it doesn't look all that great on a white EP with a JDM bumper.. i dunno, it looks a bit off, but i still like it.. BUT on your car man..... sure likes pretty damn nice man.. its flushed pretty well with your hood and it looks good on sliver.. anyways.. big ups to you man, looks good dawg.

RiCeCoOkEr1280
02-13-2004, 07:58 PM
Thanks for all the comments people....

ULTRAMANIA: If I remember correctly, you've got the JDM bumper w/ type r lip... The grill does not sit flush w/ the bumper but it fits close enough... The case is the same w/ the JDM bumper... Hope this pic helps out... It's Shawn Hillier's of Pit Crew/JDMHondaparts before he got the Mugen lip and got all Mugen crazy:

I've got an intake right now... I was gonna do an engine swap BUT since I came up on some suspension parts, I think I'm gonna build that up first. I was also considering the skunk2 cams when they come out.... I'm not to big on speed anymore.... Turns are what make me wet now :D (hope that wasn't too much info ;) )

You're right... That's why I'm hoping that the Skunk2 cams/intake mani/hondata will do me some justice...

Yeah... I installed the front/rear Progress sway bars w/ ES bushings & the front/rear Neuspeed tower bars... I need to order the double x-brace from D3 and my cheap rear ebay bar should be here tomorrow (for that extra BLING in the trunk :D )
