Yea the visor is only for a lil until I get an OEM Si wing. But thanks man. And lucky me, I found another picture from a previous car meet.
Yep. Actually my friend did. But the lip I want is also the flat color. So I thought it would match until I repaint the entire car.
Damn.. I'm BIG time jealous! $4k is ideal for an Si. I paid $3k for my EX coupe, with a friggin salvage title, and TRASHED paint/headliner. Full EM1 interior, EM1 front and rear end conversion, but yeah.. lookin good man!
Forgot to ask, will a Honda Fit front lip bolt directly to the EM1 bumper?
Thanks man. I've been on the search for a while. It takes time and determination to find one of these. haha
And the Fit lip DOES directly bolt on to the front bumper.

I'm liking the taillights. Where did u get those from?
Actually, they are just stock 50/50's that a friend and I painted. We used the VHT Nightshade stuff. A little coat or two is all you need.

nice they look good. did u just mask off the red and spray it?
Yep. First clean the whole taillight with rubbing alcohol, and carefully mask off the red. Put several layers of tape near the divide and mask off the entire red areas. After that, apply the VHT stuff but be sure to keep it at least a foot away from the light. Do maybe a full coat and a half and let it dry for a couple hours. After carefully unmask the reds and use some rubbing alcohol to remove the task residue on the red.
Here are some more pictures that I found:

No joke. I almost bought an EM1 with 166k on the original B16, but it had horrible paint, heated springs, the rims were dinged up, and it was a salvage title. No thanks.Thanks man. I've been on the search for a while. It takes time and determination to find one of these. haha
And the Fit lip DOES directly bolt on to the front bumper.
I'll have to try out that Fit lip. That's pretty cool.
Yea man. I'm really happy with the way the lights turned out. Totally worth it. haha
It's tough to find these. I've been on the lookout for what seems like forever. But after all is said and done, I couldn't be happier.
And totally man. I've only seen a handful of Ek's with them on. And only like 3 EM1's with them.
Thanks man. And I understand where your coming from. And, yes, if I had the choice between a bunch of rare/exotic cars, i would still go for the EM1. I've loved them ever since they came out and have wanted one for just as long. Something about it's simplicity makes me love it. It's extremely difficult to explain. Like trying to explain why we are fans of Honda's to a diehard Mustang fan.I dig the car, but you're selling yourself a little short on a dream car bit, don't you think? Twin turbo supras, any number of skylines, porsches, ferraris, lambos... really? Given any of those you'd still pick the EM1?
