lol

it looks weird with the lower grill missing. otherwise it looks good...even with the honda "H"

 

[johno590]

I don't really care for that nose guard. I think the bronze looking wheels looked better than the silver.

 

[PEARLelectron]

the remove lower grilll loooks like ass but the rest looks good? WHere did you get the half bra at? I'd like one for when i go to meets and such, keep the stone chips to a minimum on the highways

 

[mphscivic99]

got the nose mask from ebay. I have the full bumper cover also. It does save on alot of rock chips. Plus the front bumper is so hard to stay clean.Whats wrong with the "H" in the grill? I like it so it stays for now atleast

I didnt even notice it till you mentioned it.

not bad, i'm not feeling the bra or the H...i feel it clutters up the front a lil bit.

 

[watisjdm]

i never got the bra thing, it saves rock chips on the paint right? well......your covering UP the paint so instead of takin chances with rock chips your just hiding it all completely...i don't know if i'm explainin this how it's working in my mind but the bra thing makes no sense.....why not at least wait till you get rock chips and THEN put the bra on to hide the chips?

 

[nurevEKcivic00]

you need to get new headlights or resurface the ones you have now, looks alright needs a lip and a cf hood and some bigger different rims imo

yea you know cause once its on you can never take it off.....

no offence but this isnt much of a build thread at all. car looks good tho

 

[iCivic]

yea you know cause once its on you can never take it off.....

i doubt he takes it on and off each time he gets on/gets off the highway or just for road trips, if so that'd make more sense...but would be a hassle, but it looks like he daily drives with it on, if that's the case then refer back to my statement

 

[bcivichb]

you dont get it. leave it at that

It has a lip. An SI lip. Yeah headlights are gonna get replaced with CTRs. I'm not big on big rims. Atleast they're oem and not ROTAs

The point of it is to not have any rock chips. Not to cover them up.
