OMG Lights!! Take those nasty rear lights off please they dont look good and never would. its like a tramp stamp on a fat lady no one wants to look at it!!

Other then those nasty light. Looks good just needs a drop and match the grill to the car.

You don't have the full HFP kit-- you're missing the spoiler.

Other than that, I agree with the above. It's a good start, though. Ditch the tail lights in favour of OEM ones & you'll look that much better.

Looks good, but those tails gotta go. You also need a spoiler to finish it out. And I'm assuming you will get the grill painted.

yea i know the tails are going gettin ready to install 04-05's this weekend and yes the grill will be painted..... with the wing


is that an authentic grill?

also why havent you paint matched it?

yes it is authentic and the reason i didnt get it painted was i bought it from a previous EP owner and was painted white....... so decided to go with flat for now and in person it looks really good cause it goes with the piece thats on the lower part of the bumper which is flat black as well.....

this is what it looked like before we had to fit it:

man i wish i would have thought of this. My car is taffy, I could have taken that taffy grill and shipped you my unpainted authentic mugen grill. Owell... it looks hot man

Well, I don't want to say "nice car" and not tell you what I really think.

- Unpainted grill that doesn't really go with your HFP bodykit. Thumbs down. I am all for mix and match when it works. I just don't think this combo of HFP and Mugen works.

- Glad to hear you are putting in 04/05 tails because the ones you have now don't look so good in the daytime. Maybe at night they light up cool, but in your picture, not so good. Personally I think 02/03 tails look better.

- The Sloane sticker on the hatch needs to go in the trash along with the stupid license plate frame. Try getting a black plastic frame with no words on it.

- Rear hatch needs to be debadged. You could have the Civic Type R or the Civic SiR, but instead you are showing off that you have the lowly Si model. I would take it off along with the CIVIC emblem using some dental floss, a hair dryer and some Goo-be-Gone. Go for the sleeper look with no emblems.

- Your HFP sideskirts looks super wavy. Honda really did us wrong with those. for them to look really nice you'll need to take them off, take the paint off, smooth them out with some bondo and sanding then repainted them and re-install them. A total hassle I know.

- The clear bumper turn signals. I don't know if I like them or not. Perhaps they would look better if you kept the stock clear sidemarker lens instead of the DC5 one you have now.

- iVtec emblems need to be removed.

Those are my personal opinions, you might agree with some things and disagree with others. On a positive note, you do have the best color ep3. Black is clearly the best, lol. I like the headlights, I like the HFP front and rear lips.

yeah, i dont usually like to dog people and i ised to love aftermarket lights but not for the ep. t5he stck is just fine. i like you lip kit though and your mugen grill:)

Soprano21
07-16-2008, 08:44 PM
princess all though i do agree with some of your opinions the reason im not debadgin the car is it would the defeat the purpose of the HFP lit kit and i also enjoy my car sayin it is an Si....... the sloane sticker is goin to be replaced with the HFP badge.......... the clear bumper markers are going to be tinted as well as me tintin out the top half of the 04-05 tails

Car looks good man! Get those tails on ASAP lol. About that Mugen wing....I think it's a total waste. Why pay $1000 more than you have to + run the risk of damaging the wing while you are modding it to fit? You can just get an unpainted replica from one of the vendors, paint it, and buy the little badge for it. It will look EXACTLY the same, it will fit right out of the box, and you will save a butt load of money. Spending all this extra cash to look "baller" is retarded IMO. I could do the same thing and just tell everyone its authentic and no one would be the wiser....:mrolleyes:

some things i dnt like:

1.lose the tail lights
2. needs better wheels and tires with a aggresive offset and wide tires.
3. lose the clear bumper lights all around
4. needs to be lowered a bit more
5. save your $$$$ and just buy a replica mugen wing, paint it and buy a mugen badge.

i would so paint that grill nhbp...matching flat black on your car is ghetto lol.

it's sort of like saying, "i dont want to wash the poop stain off my shirt because it matches the color of tree branches."

..i would've just rolled without the grill if i didn't have the money to paint it nhbp
