I think I made a boo boo...

I bought stoptech BBK st-40 that was on a rsx type s
I asked around here and the info I got says that it should fit fine on my 04 ep3

I'm looking at the stoptech catalog trying to find seals and dust boots and I see that there is actually a diffferent part number for the BBK for the type s vs the base rsx. The part number for the base RSX is the one that corresponds to the part number for the o4 ep3.

Now I'm worried that they wont fit my ep. Anyone have any experience with bbk that was on a type s?
My bbk is at the powdercoater at the moment.

why would you paint your headlights?

edit: are you doing a clear on the lenses?
or coloring the housings?

For painting the chrome housings, yes... You want to mask first, then so a light sand with a fine grit- scuffing the finish just enough to allow the paint to stick. Otherwise, the paint won't stick to the chrome evenly.

Anyone know if the dc5r ebrake would work on our ep3. I found a great deal on it. Its even cheaper than the oem usdm for the ep3.
tnx in advance...

Another question? anyone know if the mugen pedals for the honda fit would fit on the ep3

[PatrickJamesYu]

Are there replica Mugen Front bumpers
that are fiber glass, (possibly un detatchable lip) and a front grill that molded in? (also non removable?)

I don't understand your question...
Replica Mugen Front BUMPERS?
No.. Only lips.
Even the authentic Mugen lip (pre-facelift) is FRP fiberglass. No matter what Mugen lip you get, you've gotta cut holes in an OEM bumper.

If you want it all detachable, you'd have to get separate bumpers and grills.

Haha!!!
WTF IZZ THAT THING!



You definitely stumbled across sum'n there!
In ALLL my years, Sonny, I've never seen that.

I bet it's a one-off someone did because they didn't want to mold fiberglass with ABS plastic, but...

EDIT: Is that in your garage?
