Updated pics - mugen lip, hood pins, kyb agx's, AND STEELIES!

[CFactor]

Haha yeah I know I decided that if my car is going to look rice for a week I might as well rice the s**t out of it. So I threw on my raw fiberglass mugen lip that didnt fit right (ended up stretching it to the point where it almost cracked) and some hood pins to go along with the steelies. If you are wondering why, I sold my rims last week and bought some Royal Gunmetal 16" C8s with Toyo FZ4 tires which will be coming on Wednesday : . So yeah I am going to spray that lip black and clear coat it because I actually like the look of the lip. Thats going to be the daily driver lip and my CF Mugen lip is going to be for only when I go out on Sat. nights etc. Just so I dont rip a fourth lip off. But yeah, I also threw some KYB AGX shocks on today and all I have to say is DAMN. The ride quality is so amazing compared to OEM shocks on my GC coilovers. Pics are below:

I was going to ask what happened to your rims until I read the post LoL.

yeah wednesday is when they'll be back on. I am actually making a new civic website ( not saying the name because I dont want to advertise another civic site on an already bad ass civic site ) and am writing up as many DIY's as I can so I did the KYB ones today. But yeah what do you guys think about the black lip? I mean for a daily beater lip I don't mind it. Hell i may just spray paint the b***h lol.

 

[Mr. Lin]

Black lip looks good because it goes well with the cf hood and offsets the white.

yeah I used to HATE the mugen lip, now I love it. Soon I will move on lol - i guess thats how it works. But I mean after this all I have to do is do my alternator (does anyone know how much they range from - an OEM rebuild) and my passenger axle. Oh yeah and replace my drivers side fog that was shattered. Then my car is good to go FINALLY. And I can then move on to turboing. I have a T3 Super 60 in mind, but I haven't decided yet.

I didnt even recognize the car, I thought it was the car on one of the CC Wallpapers....that one white one with the black rims...

looks good, I like paint matched lips better though. I tried painting my Mugen lip, but it didnt come out that well. So I forked over the money to have it painted...looks f**king awesome. Good luck, hope those rims look good.

lol you and I have opposite tastes - I cant stand hatches at all haha. As for the lip yeah I am painting it either gloss black or color matching it to my rims (had hte idea tonight, but I don't know if im going to do it). I got 750 shipped for the grids (5 rims and 4 tires) and I got the C8s for hte same price.
