Re: 15 month update
Awesome car! Love the clean and simple set up, nothing over the top.

I had a question about your front lip. Did u install a 99-00 civic lip on it?
I own an 04 ex and got a mugen lip from said year because ive seen they fit, but when i went to install it there was gaps and it didnt sit flush. was there anything you did to get near perfect or perfect fitment?
(sorry for the long post on your thread)

Hi GusBuz thanks I really appreciate your comment. The clean JDM look is exactly what I am aiming for. I ordered the Mugen style front lip (Urethane) for 01-03 civic from bestracingmotors thru ebay. The fit was perfect I used the screws provided and other hardware like L shaped brackets. Hope this helps!

Thanks GolNat I really took my time doing this mod. I used original DC5's side markers from Japan. Make sure you get the ones with the light bulb and connector included it will make your job a lot easier. It took me about 1:45 each side because I took off the front wheels for easier access. I included the template in another post feel free to copy and reuse it.

This is the box for the K&N short ram air. I was impressed with the quality and fit. The sound is really nice but not over the top. Very easy install.

Cat back installed last Saturday. A word of caution keep the factory resonator or the noise will be unbearable!
