Names Denton, I live here in Lenexa, Kansas and bought my 2000 EBP EM1 back in Idaho when I was up there at the Air Base. Its been through alot of work and effort and finally got to a point where I can finish up minor details of the car to make it look clean and nice. Currently its a built B16A motor with a beefed up clutch. SKunk2 Pro-S Version 2 Coilovers. There is still other work to be done but its a build in progress, its also my daily driver too. I just got done clay bar, 2 coats of wax. quick detail, and other wax/paint enhancers. This car when I got it never had a wax job or proper cleaning as far as detail and such goes. Also has a basic 4 to 1 header to an 8in resonator and muffler. (2.25in exhaust straight back from header)

In the works:

Windshield replacement
Window tint
Si Front lip (original one got damaged from the drive home from Idaho)
R&R on some body dents and paint issues

Future MODS:

16in Rota 8's (Royal Bronze)
Skunk2 Sway bars/Strut tower brace

Not clean enough for me! I'm going to be doing the whole thing over by using a Polishing compound and a buffer wheel. My Goal is to get the cars paint look like glass

Question on the replacement of the OEM Si Lip. I am obviously needing one and not sure what to look at brand wise. I don't want a cheap ass one thats going to last a year. More so factory quality one thats the exact same look wise. No extra crap.

stick with OEM honda. aftermarket will almost never have the same quality or fitment. they don't come cheap though, but they are worth the money. however, if you live somewhere that the lip will be prone to damage (steep driveways, big speed bumps etc) then a polyurethane replica lip will be your friend. you can practically fold them into a pretzel without damaging them

Yeah I have looked at both options on getting a OEM Lip or getting an aftermarket that might be cheaper in terms of daily driving abuse. I don't have many bad roads or steep driveways so thats not an issue at all.

then go OEM definitely
