UPDATE 3rd PAGE! http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showpost.php?p=604052&postcount=44

Long story short i bought a Seibon Carbon Fiber Wing.. and i had to constantly wax and wash it daily and i got tired of it so i took it off. I was tired of having a wing everyone else had and the mugen was a bit to idk i like it but dont sometimes.. I love the way the duckbills are on EG's and EK's so i figured why not make one for the EP3... so i came up with the ideas and Leon (HomelessEM2) from ClubRSX did the glassing.

Goal is to have it look like a duckbill of an EG or EK. and I'm ordering Carbon Kevlar for it soon hopefully this weekend.. Its decently priced. $50 a yard..

So far with the outcome.. I'm very happy with it and the fitment is execellent.

Here's the pics so far: no sanding has been done yet and this is first fitment.

From the Front.

Top/side - still have to fill in the side to line it up.

Side Shot

Back Shot - back not done just added glass to it afterwards.

This weekend we are going to mock up a radiator duct which will also be Carbon Kevlar and look just like the Mugen Duct and even will have the piece that goes behind it to direct the air.. Maybe work on a rear defuser.. all Carbon Kevlar

I'm ready for the good and bad comments. Dont be too harsh as this is the first test fit.. should have it done by friday.

Here's Mr. Pickles this dog eats Condoms and would rather play with street bike tires and rocks than dog toys lol.

I am considering removing my wing completely and just having that no-wing rounded hatch look.

I think Scott Whitelaw removed his rear wing.

06-08-2008, 12:54 PM
I thought duckbills went along teh bottom of the rear hatch glass? Used to see em on ek's and eg's all the time.

Either way, the work looks great! I agree... if you decide to do one time knock off's for sale... ill pay up and wait in line! The rad duct, the wing AND the lower diffuser. Keep us posted!

yeah were still doing that now so it sits even with the glass and car.


I like this idea. How hard is this to make?

just takes patience, dont want to rush it. also you have to cut alot of your CTR Rep wing up.

The radiator duct is going to be slightly different than the Mugen One. and we may make more than one.. it just sucks that Carbon Kevlar is pretty Pricey. We are also making the duct that goes behind the Radiator Duct.

Ill keep you's updated.. I have the JDM Bumper off my car right now (rocking USDM with HFP front lol) so we'll get started hopefully this week on the Duct.

GT Motoring can get you a sheet. It is really pricey.

06-09-2008, 01:08 PM
You know, it was this post that finally inspired me to hack up my front bumper, I cant wait to see how your stuff turns out.

On another note, since were both trying to DIY the mugen radiator duct. Do you have any measurements on how tall and wide the piece is overall?

thanks!

gt motoring ? why go there why you can get it from tap plastic for the cheap.

but i think the duckbill is a good idea. but imo the rear/bottom needs A LOT of work before it would flow properly. props for trying tho. i wanna wait for the end product.

i havent ordered my sheets yet.. was waiting to see how much i'm going to need. its going to be any day now. tomrrow its supposed to be 97 degrees.. its not 100 so were going to test fit it one more time then go to town again on the sides. i hope to have it on for this weekend for a quick picture. thanks again for the comments..

i will post the link to the place i find the cheapest when i order them weltall.

you are going to have to drill alot of holes to get the CKvlr to not be all distorted when glassing and trying to get it pressed up against the backing

there is alocal here who makes his own shit and he said its the only way ley it perfectly
unless you own a vaccum mold

CastorTroy2
06-10-2008, 07:03 PM

ep3civic2nr
06-14-2008, 04:32 PM
I got a new window installed for $350 which is cheap as hell... BRAND NEW INSTALLED better than 600 so i cant complain..

We added more glass so the wing is set for the Kevlar i'm hoping that the kevlar gets laid tomrrow.. but dont want to rush it..

We also made the cuts in JDM Bumper for the radiator Duct.. I'm going with a different design than the Mugen one..

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6497/buumpercz1.jpg

It will be functional and there also will be a scoop behind the duct to direct air into the engine bay..

I really need measurements for the JDM Front Rebar because we are fabbing up one.. so we can mount scoop to it.. along with a tow hook.

Next we are going to do an Intake Duct in my Headlight and relocate my Battery to the Trunk..

actually thinking about making a DIY for the radiator duct..

me and leon have a mold for the Radiator Duct sooooo...

we'll prob be making a few and a few dif styles. and you could prob cut a USDM bumper out to use them.. well see ill have full pictures as sooon as both the Wing and Duct are done.

as for the headlight we have a few different things were thinking about.. we dont want the fiberglass to warp the headlight plastic. plus i gotta get a smaller battery and build a rebar to mount my tow hook and battery relocator were going to make. then a pipe right from my intake to the headlight.

I'm prob going to be driving to his house every day this week.. so that will be 1 and a half tanks of gas :(

Thanks fellas,

The mold of my duct fits and sits perfect! i love it. the wing were doing kevlar on top and painting it black on the bottom. were 95% sure it will be done for Sunday.. which is the RSX/EP3 Meet in my area. i may post one more picture tonite of the wing with the sides practically finished.

the word is one more coat or resin and then the kevlar gets laid.

ep3civic2nr
06-20-2008, 11:20 PM
Today we laid the kevlar on the top.. 1st coat of resin too. its smooth as glass. i decieded to paint the bottom black! the bottom wont be done till after this weekend but ill take a few pictures of it with it on there sooon.

http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/6530/kevlardl7.jpg

i test fitted the wing with the kevlar on the car.. looks great. the fitment is perfect and the color its a yellowish goldish color.

The duct WILL finished tomrrow :mcool: possibly a shoot tomrrow.. we'll see.

I want this to debut at the EP3 / DC5 Meet on Sunday hopefully it doesnt rain.

its straight kevlar.

the top needs alittle wet sanding and another coat of resin..

the bottom needs more resin as well.. its going to be painted black on the bottom and it will be cleared on the top.

the wing is getting painted for the price of the paint since i'm going to be doing a photoshoot for the shop of thier RHD EG

Pictures will be up today!

i have our practice duct in now.. the new one is looking great. were planning on making at least 6 radiator ducts too.

the vent might be a dif color than the wing we'll see. we were talking about tinting the resin or even spraying a layer of black over it and youll still see the weave.

The wing is coming back off today so it can be finished.

thanks for all the comments.

Were going to be making about 5 or 6 ducts once i order more Kelvar or Carbon Kevlar. The one thats on the car is getting thrown out. its nice and all but we got something else..

Very nice custom work. Ive always been a fan of the duckbill wings. If i had a ctr one i would do that in a heartbeat. I just have the retarded stock one for now and dont feel like putting the extra effort into it. If you ever want to get rid of that wing youve got a buyer :) Along with everyone else on here. lol

Good luck with finishing up the wing and the ducts!

wow dude im so impressed. I have been thinking about doing this myself for quite some time now, and this thread has given me the motivation to green light the project.

I want to try and do some kind of radiator duct for my usdm bumper. I know there is no cutout but I am pretty creative.

anyone know if anyone has tried a usdm duct before?

yeah one guy did one for it but it was bigger and there was a duct of the intake down below..

Leon and I are going to produce 10 of these kevlar radiator ducts.. each one will be perfect in every way.

youre sort of bumping an old thread, but i think he fell out of all the projects after he sold his ep3. but i do know he accomplished a radiator duct, rear diffuser, and the duckbill
