Some pics.

Here are some quick "before" pics of my 3.2. I'll post the "after" pics when i get back from Galveston. After pics include my actual lowered ride height (which isn't that far off from picture), JDM bumper lights, front lip and various interior pieces. All comments welcome.

These pictures are from before i had the lip, headlights and bumper lights on. I got called away to help in Texas and had no time to take some nice pictures of how she sits now. As for the wheels, there are some spares I had laying around, 17x7 Mille Miglia Action in time attack color scheme. I have some AP1 wheels to put on till i get ahold of some bigger negative offset wheels.

Your car sealed the deal for me. Are you running the stock rears in the back or two fronts? I have yet to roll my rears and I wonder if they will rub.

Originally, I had them on the way they're supposed to be, with the fronts in front and the rears in the back. I couldn't get enough traction with the fronts, so I swapped them around to have the wider rears up front. Now, I've got all four rears all around, and am desperately trying to sell 4 fronts. I haven't seen anyone else run all rears yet, either. I have no rubbing issues, even recently driving with 3 people and bit of luggage. The upside to running all fronts would be slightly better aeros, reduced rolling resistance and weight to help save some gas. Hondas are freaking sensitive when it comes to tire size changes.

~Cheers~

not to be anal. i just dont want pple saying "bippu" thru out life thinking its correct. you're just gonna get lauged at. just trying to help you or anyone else out.

cars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10816&highlight=bippu+word
add www.vip style infront of the url above but without the space between vip & style.

for some freaking reason, this forum wont let me type vip & style together as one word or even link topics from that forum to this forum.

No worries. If you caught that and no one else did then I believe i'll be alright. This particular word has swept across web and people sometimes asociate it with this lifestyle. I myself sometimes get confused looks when I say "vip" or "v i p" instead of bippu. I do not believe using this word will kill the culture. People savvy enough to know about this hobby will know what I mean. It is after all just a word.

^ I noticed it, too but I didn't think it was worth mentioning, haha. Sometimes, people on VSC can be really anal.

About the wheels, I can tell you, though, that fronts would be easier.

Now, who wants to buy some Leon Hardiritts from me? .

~Cheers~

P.S. The way we're doing our cars is more EXE than VIP, because we aren't running crazy -20* camber, etc.
