My 97 LX sedan (minus some paint)

[iCivic]

My 97 LX Sedan, minus some paint just hosed it down cuz it's rained like the last 6 days here and just washed it yesterday and the day before and i'm not wasting my time today lol cuz it's cloudy out

yup

YUMMMMMMMM gaps, a warped body kit and warped as hell fenders courtesy of Extreme Dimensions

once again you can see in the grill how warped the kit was

picture before the new fenders and body kit with old rims and type r lip

So...with a kit that shitty, why is it even on the car?

P.S. I didn't know people still had those clears

 

[TheGreenMachine]

why don't you put the old rims, stock bumpers, and lip back on and then you'll be set

Hideous

lol yea yea, don't like the altezza's at all, and hate the stock tails, that's what i'm left with

and nothin else i can do with the kit but get body work done to clean it up when it gets painted, the company won't refund my money unless the kit is BEYOND manageable, fiberglass sucks

and i got tired of the whole "jdm" look for the bumpers, i know what's what 95% of the site is about the "jdm" look, just not me anymore so hate all you want *shrugs* i hardly see my car being hideous now, let alone when it's painted and body work

They belong in a historical museum.

yea yea i get it, and have gotten it forever, the clear tails aren't what's trendy now, it's my best solution though...

thought about gettin the all clear ones with the LED red lights and tinted them? but i don't know, i get it on the tail lights, was hardly funny the 1st comment and every comment after it loses all comedy

the before picture looks a lot better, but hey it's your car.

 

[wmertz]

what made you change the whole style of your car

 

[iCivic]

what made you change the whole style of your car

that's a good question...

to be honest it just felt a lil too mundane, now that i did what i did i do regret the change a little being as that was about 2k i coulda put towards a swap but you live and you learn and i like how it's gonna turn out after paint so i gotta move forward..

like i said just got bored with the "jdm" look

for the tails you should get some of the red and whites,they are still mellow and not too ricey. for the body kit, thats going to take alot of work, i thought ED was supposed to be pretty good with their fitment. the car should look good when its done,just dont rush it

 

[Suanico]

Im not down with the chicken wire grille

 

[DaGFTDOne]

ditch the kit, tails, headlights, do a 99-00 conversion and get some CTR lips on there..... If you like it thats fine but cmon dude, get those gaps and warping fixed!!!!

What the hell is wrong with that kit...? Thats bullshit if they dont accept a return on that, that s**t looks wack.

your preaching to the choir man, i went on their site and called and b***h'd but it does CLEARLY say on their site they take no returns (though i didn't order it off the company site) got it from sportcompactonly.com

and to someone sayin you thought ED was a good brand, that makes 2 of us, i paid a good amount for it and they sent me some kit that probably laid in a hot warehouse for a year lol and the red and white tails i am a fan of, but not on the sedans, the lights are way "taller" i guess i could say and it looks funny, them red and whites look great on a coupe though

and to the guy with the 99-00 front end and ctr lip, you obviously missed the part where i want nothing like that and there's not really fixing warping, i just got to fill the gaps, and waitin to do all this when paint goes on after i pull a couple other small dents in the car

and chicken wire comment = the grills come in it factory from Extreme Dimensions

and yea once i get the body work done it'll look nice and what not, yea they screwed me over but no use crying i just gotta fix it

Is it urethane?

 

[Genuine Rolla]

not too bad....you should have kept your old rims, stock bumpers with lips...stock tails or red clears. then you'd be set. keep up the work tho man. it has potential.

 

[kangaroo]

I like the wheels in the first pic but that's about all.

 

[iCivic]

Is it urethane?

i said it's fiberglass, wish i would've got a urethane one, at least front bumper urethane and fenders...mistake and lesson learned

and yes i know ppl on here are jdm nuts lol and love the lips and the original rims, which the rims thing suprised me but the lips and stock bumpers i knew everyone here would prefer...

but like i said before just not me anymore and hopefully it turns out well

this is old school
