No I haven't yet. I cleaned things up and removed a bunch of clips I don't need though. Kinda streamlining the process for later on.

Aw man, are you getting tactical art aero? Just do it up racecar man, like a circuit club car! Minus all the stickers.
Is it functional to run a splitter(diffuser is what I called it :p) with the sir lip? I was gonna eventually get a real spoon wing and small canards and a small splitter for the front later on, ive seen them with the little gap in the front but the actual race car just have an extension to a flush splitter.
Note the gap with factory lip:
Flush race setup:
I know how it functions, creating a slip stream and low pressure air zone under the car and high pressure above it to make downforce and suck the car down at high speeds, the opposite of how lift is created with an air plane wing.
I guess I'm asking if the setup with my lip would be functional, or just fan boy blang

It will still function well with the small gap. The spacing will create a bit of extra downforce but it's not much. A splitter separates the air like you mentioned and a diffuser is in the rear minimizing drag and contributing to downforce as well. In a way, it could be considered bling, just because the full effect of these modifications only happens at pretty high speeds, but who caresAw man, are you getting tactical art aero?

For my particular setup, i know i'll be going far overboard, but that is what I want. I kinda want a track car that i drive on the street. I'm sure that'll rub some people the wrong way and it'll make me smile. 
So, are you going to track it?It will still function well with the small gap. The spacing will create a bit of extra downforce but it's not much.

^hell no he better not! At least not in a club circuit, one guy clips you and all that hard freakin work and money goes right down the crapper! You could maybe do singles time attack events??
But I'm with you on a track car for street, who cares if people get butt hurt about your car being a racecar, I get f**ked with a lot by dumb rednecks but as soon as the first corner comes up I walk them everytime! The. 4 or 5 min later the come flying up on my ass when the road straightens out and I just shake my head at them in the rear veiw.
I'm finally proficient at heel and toe shifting now! (Just thought I'd share)

I dont understand y you wouldnt want to track it 
Thats what its built for right?

im curious about how you are going to run your aero set ups, ive been looking at some and just cant make my mind up
i also know someone who just got a refund for their chargespeed lip and are looking for a first moulding.....

I want to, but it won't be something hardcore. Just some good fun. I don't have any circuits close to me anyway, so it will probably be pretty rare.

Not really built for the track, but built like a track car. Since I don't have a track near me, it would almost be pointless to treat it like a pure track car. I won't do autoX. I hate conesI dont understand y you wouldnt want to track it

Already sold mine. The moment i mentioned removing it I got hit with offers.
I won't do autoX. I hate cones
nice convo going to have to do some research on it never really thought about any of this.....oh and child the gap you have on the rear coilover ( height wise) is that the height you had it in your video? also in the picture with the last time you have the first molding lip are your function and forms bottomed out front and rear? or just the front woth some room to spare in the rear...just wondering what the ff will look like slammed....thanks

Looks like a stock civic with wheels and a lip
the pic and the video, the coils were not maxed. They were close to being all the way down with proper preloaded still, so almost another inch of threads on the coils in that short video, and the garage pic was the same up front but half inch up in the rear.
sometimes, just sometimes, i want to run wide meaty tires and convert to a built track car
Then other times your like naw I'm too gay! JKJk luv ya Greg! Do it you won't you puss!
Lol I wish I could have it all, slammed, wide wheels, meaty tires, full turning raids, full suspension travel, awesome handling, power, silent ride, n/a responsive boost lol. f**k compromise
thats why i intend to have three cars. stock daily, slammed and wide wheeled civic, then a track car.
i wanted an m3, but skyline or supra has been seeming more tempting
The Ferrari you got Nova is dope!
