THANKS ill get better pics soon. i was just bored haha. but the wheels are 18x9 with 55 offset. Im still debating on the zweel, its just not tpms compatable with their 19s

Yes the gaps do look big in the pics but i think its due to the fact that i got small wheels with a lot of tire haha

Where did you buy your Mugen lip, and how much did you pay for it? Did it come pre-painted?

tell me about it! scraping on fresh paint suckssss. let me know how that cf lip turns out. I was thinking clear bra on the bottom portion of the lip might ease the scraping but It probably wont hold up well but at least the paint wont get damaged

For sure the front on your will not scrap. I see a lot of Honda Legend in Japan uses Mugen Body kit instead of the Amuse Body Kit. The front of the Mugen dont stick out as much. So you are pretty safe even if you lower your car. Sometimes I regretted getting the Amuse bodykit because certain places I can't make it

I SCRAP ALL DAY LONG! I feel the same way man. its the sides of the front lip that are killing me! they are the lowest point of the lip so they always touch if there is any decline. My excuse for not wanting to go somewhere with my gf "my car is too low"
