gotta love the rims!!!:D

[k20hatch]

Look very nice! Get that jank painted man!

[02civicSI]

looking good man!

[03CivicSi]

Sweeet Si man. Those rims are niice, if they were 2-3 lbs lighter I'd get my parents to get me those instead, heheh. The front bumper doesn't look too bad.. glad you're at least deciding to paint it :) G/L with that. The Magnaflow(?) is nice, too.

Keep up the good work!

[masterslim]

Gonna look great when painted up!! :)

How did you attach the skirts? Did you bond it on aswell as bolt or did you use the clips?

i just used the two pre-existing holes in the front but i had to drill the rear holes. thats it. the fitment is good enough. that i don't have to use bondo or clips at all. and 03civicsi, it is a magnaflow exhuast.

[masterslim]

cheers for that dude, wasnt ever gonna try and use the clips - if bolts are good enough for your sweet ride, its good enough for me

[emosubaru]

that's gonna look piiiimp once you paint it!

[LHD_EP3]

Damn, that car looks better now!

[ep3_civic_si]

nice josh! man i wanted those too and that color... dont matter i'll still get it lol... what happen to the other rims u were gonna get? but yeah well see u around.. oh yeah it's me patrick just incase u didn't know but yeah NICE JOSH!

[ep88]

hey that's my car!! -sideskirts -lip -magnaflow cb. lol
nice ride ;)

[ramone70]

Sweet ride man, do you have the full magnaflow catback or is it just the muffler? if just the muffler, how's the performance and sound?

thanks alot. the guy with the other wheels flaked out on me. ramone 70, it is the full catback. the sound and performance is pretty typical of a catback system of 2.25 in. deep, throaty, a little loud on the freeway. i had the hks catback before and i think this one rates a tad lower on the overall noise scale.

[civicSIracer]

how is the fitment on the fromt lip??

nice wheels...

[MaxBoost]

hmm those wheels looks familar..now i'm soo glad i sold them. everyone and their momma has them..
nice kit but still hate those ugly bumper lights..

[JHM-EP3]

nice ride man i love the wheels, I want to get it for my 04 is 5 lugs but i can't find any one that got them.....

where you get the front lips from how much and where you get it from??????

[Blackapino85]

the fitment on the front lip is good actually. although to get it parallel with the bumper lights, it creates a small gap but hardly noticeable. the lip was $113 shipped from groupbuycenter.com. thanks for the comments on the wheels, and if everyone and their mommas' have these, they have good taste. just like when i see older people (40+) driving ep's, they have good taste too. maxboost, how are those rg's doing for you? i hear you're gonna have some wheels up for sale again.

[MaxBoost]

looks much better now that there are no wheel gaps..

hey bro do they still have the lip for $113 now?

[team ERA 5]

i think he did a group buy thats why it was so inexpensive...but i think they go for a bit more now (i can be wrong) i remember it took like 3 weeks for him to recieve his...
