*pics* WW front and sides

mods can you leave this here for a while before you move it thanks

Following along the footsteps of inpirations such as baka_t, I just got back from having my wings west front and sides put on. Fittament with the sides arent perfect but oh well what can you do. Im broke as a joke now, now I gotta save to get that rear fitted and on, its goingn to be a lot of money.

Anyways here a few quick pics I snapped, dont mind the dirtyness of the car, theres nowhere to wash it up here and bugs seemed to love my front bumper. I'll get her washed and take a formal photoshoot once I get back home in the bay for the summer.

enjoy





and heres my rear that I picked up and waiting to be put on



questions? comments? hate?

Looks nice...cant wait to see the rear finished. The side skirts look nice, but the only thing I have a problem with (and this seems to go for every CL with side skirts) Is that their soo much lower and dont really line up with the front and rear lip...It just dosnt look right to me. Maybe once your rear lip is on, it will look better??...

Yea thats the problem, wings west made the front lip to sit just a tad lower than the stock sides since they never made any other parts. I figured since I have the skirts, I might as well throw em on anyways hopefully it'll look somewhat better when I get the rear on

Looks hawt I have to agree, and I knew it was gonna be that way, it's a shame that those skirts hang down so low but the lip doesn't. I'm sure once you put a rear one on, it'll complete the look better. Looks pimp though.

the stickers I got at the last local meet, we had some many acuras show up that we made a deal with the mods and they sent us out a shipment of the stickers to give out. They should be for sale soon to the public though

Skirts look great!

It's a shame that they don't fit perfectly, but they didn't fit exacly on shatooi's (another old school Maryland member) car either (that's where these skirts originally came from).


BTW: I had a dude drive down from northern Philly area (I live in DC) to buy my WW rear lip! I didn't realize that WW products were in demand!



I really miss my CL!!!

Great look. Hope you get the rear lip on. So what if the skirts don't quite match... looking might slick.

molded will be much more. I paid $400+ for stripping the old paint, sand, prep, prime, paint and install for the front and sides

How much was it to paint it? Looks flawless to me. Good job.

And where did you get that rear lip? The ocean?

*EDIT* didn't know there was a page 2.

nice job justin

what did they charge you to paint them?

the front lip looks like it sits a little higher than the sides? still sweet but later get it molded to the front and have them align it with the sides to it flows

thats why i kept my oem side skirts. if you use a ww cl front lip you will always ahve that prob. since i already had it i didnt bother molding an accord lip to the front. otherwise i would have molded both cord front and rear lips and everything would have lined up.

It looks great man, I think sides kirts is a must with the front lip. Only suggestion I have is to angle down the sides of the front lip a little to kind of fool people that it's lower.. You can't really tell, but it makes a difference. Now I have an albino too bad we couldn't do a twins photoshoot.

youre lucky you have black, its hide the lines better. I wish you were closer so we could do a photoshoot, that would be sick.
