Front and rear lip kit needs to be fixed!!!

I would have installed front 07-08 base lip, and the rear lip sits awkward

A-Spec needs to be adjusted in the front/rear, but it looks good!

Also looks like your front tires need air

Kurbs, love the updated mods.

I have merged your two threads together. Since the new one is a continuation of the original, it makes sense to have it all together. I have modified the title of your thread to indicate the updates for you as well.

Damn I love that color

I wouldn't add many more black elements though; your car will look like a Halloween float if you do

So you converted just the rear to 08? the front looks like an 04 to 06 to me?

Looks great, sucky weather isn't great for great shots but once you get everything cleaned up I'd love to see some quality Hi res photos of this car. It's orange, it's already unforgettable. I wish mine had a quality paintjob including jambs and bay, like that. Reminds me of my old BOM rsx...which is the main thing I miss about it. The color.

Gotcha...my mistake, I guess it's the 08 base bumper with the 04 aspec lip then. Then the rear is a full conversion. Either way, looks great, man.

Looking forward to your new updated pictures! Plans for a suspension soon? Also, look up all the DIY threads on polishing out your headlights, I'm sure you can make them look good, very easily. And clearing them would be pretty easy as well, I'm sure. You could even have the bezels color matched the orange of the car. That would be awesome.
