I have finally gotten my car back from the body shop. I really love the way it looks.. My car had been needing a change for the longest. Although the car is not clean and I took the pictures close too it being night I still wanted to share them with you guys.

quick notes: how in the world does any one drive with these things on. I am scraping all over the place. and everytime i do it it feels like I just took of like $30.00 of paint. Even worst is that my car will not make it up in my driveway now. So i have too raise my car which I dont want to do or go for some airbags next...







I should be installing my intake this week.

your car looks great you just have to learn to slow down and take things at an angle. That kinda sucks ur car wont make it up your own driveway though.

dang.. that looks badass man! if you're scraping alot then you should watch out for roadkill or speed bumps.

wow.. looks hella clean
as for scraping, go up driveways slow and at an angle. when backing out. u gotta go out at an angle also. you'll probably take up the whole driveway, but u gotta do it if u dont wanna scrape. Its kinda hard, but after doing it for a while, you'll find the right angle in which u wont scratch ur lip.

Looks great bro. Whats with the liscence plate thing? On the front there? Fucks up the clean look of the front. But all in all it looks incredible.
How far is your drop and what springs are you using?
My car isnt lowered, so i dont have to worry about my jdm lip scraping, but that bitch is freckeled strawberry with rock chips, and i need to get it repainted GRRRRR... lol

I got your emails about the pics you wanted. Im always at work, then forget when I get home.
The Lip looks good. Im glad to see that your taking care of it. The only problem I had dragging was when I had the adjustables stupid low. About 3.5 to 4" drop.

If I remember I'll try to send some pics of how I had the intake set up.

Did they paint the bumper too or just the lip? If the bumper also, did they have to paint the inner braces in the front lower grill or did you want them to do that?

well thanks guys. I guess I shoulda made myself more clear, but I already new about the angle deal. Thats ok when hitting normal driveways. But for some strange reason I have these absurn change in degrees on my driveways. The dip Dramatically and then makes it nearly impossible for me too go in. I tried the angle and i scraped the bottom. As far as my drop, I have no idea how low I have it now. But I need to raise it up a bit. I cannot find my charger for my camera, but will try and take some day pics.

TLBALLER & ACURA SNAKE = sorry guys did not mean to beat you guys out. But i promise the moment I get rid of my car i will sell it too one of your guys.

It must be cause I have seniority on this forum

slownlow. I actually only had the lip painted. The lower grill was painted a long time ago, about 3 years ago. I dont like any black on the car, imo it makes it look cheap. Thats why i had my sideskirts, and grill painted when I took my car in for a small fender bender.

Mabuti. Yeah im half half. I dont know if you have seen pics of my car, but ive got my filipino flag hangin in front of my rear view, gotta represent. Moms full pinay and my dads american. I dont know tagalog that well if at all. But i can kinda understand my mom for the most part when it comes to basic conversational stuff, but i wish i were fluent. If you do get that JDM lip, let me know. I already have one, but it would be nice to know how to get another if something happens to mine.

ELA, want to make a copy of the mugen front and sell me a copy?

ELA.TL

lol.. how would you go about doing it???
i dont mind researching or even sending my car too a shop that would want to do it. i dont drive my car at all right now since i have a company car. in the past year ive probably put on 500 miles....

my car is actually messing up more sitting there than it being used.. lol

TLBaller

man, whatever happened to the PM function??

anywho, if your willing to or find a big body kit shop that can make a copy of the mugen lip, let me know.
