Just got my EP3 a few weeks ago, Put my 16' gramlights on it but they looks a bit on the small side for this car. Car has eibach pros, but Im thinking I may ditch those and get the sportlines for the exra inch drop. Anybody know difference in ride quality, these ride awesome!
Haven't dont anything except ordered OEM floor matts, and nose mask so far. Car needs lots of love, apparently the previous owner was a idiot. Interior was trashed to get springs and stereo installed. i need lots of small parts but on Majestics site I dont know what to choose cause I cant tell whats what lol
Future plans are, bigger wheels, bigger drop,02-03 type r lips, window tint. Fix all the crap wrong with it.
Long term I wanna put a Z1 in :)

I work at a honda dealership in charlotte. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I talk my parts dept. into saving you. It won't be much, 10 0r 15% off, but thats better than nothing.

Bigger tires, and more of a drop will fix the gap and the ride will improve with bigger sidewalls.

So 16s can look good with a Ep..I was thinking I needed to aquire some 17s...Im really not wanting to slam this car ..

Nice start. The thing with 16's or 17's is the overall diameter won't change so the gap will be the same. If you drop the car more on the 16's it will look good. Get some coilovers so you can set it where you want.

Well had the windows tinted today, dunno if that counts lol. I'm wanting to get header/exhaust done. Then I gotta get the 02-03 type r lip setup.

Ep looks real good, Will look even better once it's lowered a tad bit.

Nice start, already got the wing n shit... with the eibach pros the car barely even looks dropped from it's original 4x4 stance. Deffinetly go with the sportlines.
Also taller tires I'm sure would help with your wheel gap. Looks like less meat than my 17s have... wonder if your speedo is pretty off, because that doesn't look like stock overall height.

Looks good so far, though!

Looks like a good start, love the color! What tire size are you running? When I had 16s I was running a 205/50-16, your gap looks way to big for a car with a drop so I'm guessing your running something like a 205/45 or a 205/40. My car is dropped .75" and it has a much smaller gap than that. If you keep the 16" wheels and don't go lower than an inch or so drop you can fit some meaty tires under there, 225/50-16s will fit.

Yeah some 50 series tires will look much better. I don't have a picture of my car with the 16s and the drop, just my current 17s. But the 45 series 17" wheels are the same diameter as the 50 series 16s. You can check out the link in my sig for some pics.

i feel like it all depends on the drop you throw at it! i have 205/40 on my 16x8s and i think it looks very natural. then again im dropped like 4 inches lol.

please get the 02/03 jdm bumpy/walker lip!! it looks sooooo sexy on vbp!!!
