with Tein FLEX (w/ EDFC),
does the EDFC only adjust the quality of the ride/stiffness of suspension

or is it able to adjust the height (around 1~ 1.3inch up and down)

just curious... i know it aint a airride suspension.

As everyone else has said, nice!
Can't help thinking if only they did +45, the car would look so much better with the wheels flush.

Think that'd look almost perfect if it had the chrome door handles we have here in the UK.
Hey etuari - if you want them, give me a shout and I'll price them up for you.

I actually like the black against the white...it adds a little contrast.

I was thinking about that...but that would than lead to a Honda conversion. I don't have time for that right now ; ) You should get them. They make a pretty big difference on finishing the appearance of the car IMHO.

Already answered...but EDFC controls the stiffness of the front and rear from the cockpit without having to manually adjust them. It also has 3 presets for various driving styles. You don't really need it since most of the time you'll drive in a single setting 95% of the time.

I'm thinking about getting some spacers in the future.

It's not showing up well in the pictures, but I do have chrome trim on the door handles. Can you get other EDM Parts?

You're right about the chrome overlay not showing up too well.
That's why I suggested a proper full chrome handle - such as this

Nice...How about:

1. Full Chrome Handles
2. EDM Headlights (2006)
3. Full Tail Lights (2006)
4. Ducktail Spoiler
5. Reverse Sensors (if available in PWP)
PM me with pricing.

Cheers,

Erik

Sadly PWP is not a UK (nor European) option.
White was only ever available, IIRC, on Type Rs - although both the previous and current Civics are not white.
So, the last of the Accord, Integra, and original Civic Type Rs were only ever offered in white.
Shame, because the white really looks beautiful when clean.

I'll PM you tomorrow with some prices - minus the sensors of course.

Just been reminded the headlights will need to be European rather than UK, since you drive on the wrong bloody side of the road!
Let me do a little investigating for you on that front.

Also, was there any drilling at all required for the OEM kit? Or was it all double-sided adhesive and existing mounting points?

There is some minor drilling required. The harder part includes some cutting. I installed the kit all by myself, and it was the first time I ever worked with a body kit. The instructions are pretty detailed and explain the whole process. It would definitely be easier if you had a helping hand. If you are good with your hands, and can follow written instructions, you should be okay. Good luck!

You don't happen to have the instructions scanned do you?
