Well, since RJ is a vendor on here, I doubt anyone would help too much. I would check eBay.

All of the other lip kits are disgusting...

The TL lip kit is awesome but isnt a direct fit, and the RJ kit is equally appealing but $$$. Worth it, IMO. RJ's quality is top notch.

The Ron Jon kit is only a hundred more than your looking to spend. ($1100) Not to mention he is in NY as are you. I'm pretty sure you could drive to his shop/warehouse and pick it up in person and save the $150 shipping cost. Not to mention you could avoid any possible damage that ups might do to it.

Seems like a no-brainer to me if I where in your position.

Remember you also have to consider paint work. . .

if the ron jon kit is too pricey than any lip kit for you will be too pricey unless you custom fit a used tl lip kit and modify/paint it urself.

If we can get 5 guys in, i can do a group buy and drop the price down to $850 instead of $1080. But there has to be a minimum of 5 kits, I'll make a production run just for the GB.

Nersh, don't be mean, you wish you could use the CL to clean the snow off the streets...

Start listing your names with a number next to the name, when we reach 5 guys, we'll start production and collect deposits.

hate to rain on your parade but i see that your new. it might be kind of hard to get the people for it because not too many people like the ronjon kit. most on here really like the TL lip kit which requires custom work to fit. but i wouldnt say give up but i figured id let you know it might take a while to get the people.

Just keep adding to the list, when we get enough people, 5 or more, we will start a production run and that will be that. I don't like to stock them too long, they sell very poorly compared to the TL kits which are constantly selling.

I love the RJ kit except for the front lip, I know the car is at least 7 years old now but maybe a front lip redesign may help your low sales.

I cant speak for RJ, but I doubt it. The cost associated with redesigning it, making a mold, and producing a new kit on a car that is 10 years old doesnt make it worth it. Especially considering the CL is getting older and cheaper so kids are picking them up, I highly doubt they'll be willing to drop $1k on a kit for their car.

With that said, Id buy the RJ kit if that front lip was a bit more tame. I honestly like the subtlety of the RJ sides and rear lip compared to the way the TL kit flares out.

I'm sure it is. There can only be one "Integra girl" and unfortunately for Integra owners...

IMO we need a CL girl

Im interested and was planning on molding ur rj kit eventually, just was planning on waiting longer to do it. You might not be still making them by then tho. I am one of those crazy ppl that prefers it over the tl lip kit fabrication. Neither come close to the sema full bumpers tho, wish i could get my hands on those.

Im actually tempted to pick the RJ kit up and fix the front lip. I like the TL kit *sometimes*, but I dont really like how it flares outwards. Looks like the car is wearing a dress.

Rondy, whats your schedule like this week? Im heading up to NY and may want to stop by to see the kit.
