First post here.

18 years old, South Florida, going off to school soon.

Been lurking here for a few months now. I like the forum, like the people, and decided to join.

My first question is that of a noob:

If you take a look at my sig, I've got an 05 ES1.

I'm not new to cars, mind you, but you can flame me for a noob if it makes you feel good.

I've been putting money away, been a while since I've put a car together. I'll be welding up my own exahust, ebay header/intake, that sort of thing.

Drop it on Eibach/Blues.

OEM 15" si wheels.

But, I want a clean lip kit for sure.

I've done a lot of searching here, but there's also a lot of info.

From what I gather, J's and Mugen style front lips will fit.

EL or RS-style sides will fit.

And I'm at a loss for a rear lip.

What am I looking at here? What will fit, what wont?

And most importantly, where to get it?

Flame away, I'll take it.

Hey man welcome, also look into the OEM style lip kit. Check handa-accessories.com for the prepainted OEM lip kit. Dont know much more than that about lip kits.

Thanks for the welcome.

I basically live on Handa.

They've got a kit for the EM2.

I hear the front will fit, no problem, mod's needed for the rear, and the sides won't fit.

Questions:

-What's my best bet for sides?
-The 01-03 EM2 lip won't work with my ES1 front end, correct?
-What kind of mods are necessary for the rear? Just DIY brackets?
-Any other kits?

Chime in, tell me what you've got on your car.

Thanks. will do next time I wash.

Are these too noob of questions to elicit responses from the big wigs? I joined the forum because I liked the people here

Anyone know if the sides off an EJ6 will fit on my ES1?

I've got the opportunity to pick some up for a negligible amount of coin. I'll just make some DIY brackets if I have to.

2000 Sedan SIDES...Will they fit?

I don't see any problem with your questions. Unfortunately I don't know the answers. I can tell you that I just ordered my EL sides from Canada. They will fit.

EL sides sound like a good, strait-forward option. I'm just trying to save a few cents

Get it and try it. If it doesnt work sell it. Or you can measure it first to see if its the same length of the side of your car.

For sure, I'm headed to the junkyard Saturday.

I'll get back to you if it works out.

the front you can go (oem, jays, mugen, type r, type b)

sides you can do (oem, type r, el, and such)

rears are (oem, type r, buddy club, mugen)

personally the mugen front lip my my fav

oem is really $ tho but worth it

do it right the first time or dont do it at all right? lol


&unless your a baller and have a money tree go Carbon! lol you can get a front lip for 230-260 and thats the same as an oem lip lol

Any of that will fit on my sedan?

 
Rep Power: 277

Yes, all of those will fit.

i was doing some searching and saw this thread, didnt want to start a new one so im going to ask my question here...what are your takes on ebay mugen lips? are they worth buying? I like the look i just dont know if they break easily or if they just suck

 
Rep Power: 219

Well if your dippin alot on curbs going onto the street I would suggest not buying one. Mine got ripped off about a month after I installed it because of a big dip in a curb. They will break and rip off on you cause they are really rigid abs. Try to get something a little more flexible.

thanks for the suggestion,
but hmmmm idk, i think i can avoid dips and stuff and i dont have a drop so i might be able to get away with it but do you have any suggestions on a more flexible lip? and where to buy them?
