Hmm. Guess I'm gonna be the minority. I think it looks bad. The eyebrow, too many decals, fog lights, the rear H emblem. Just too much.

Once again...thanx Mugen... and thanx to everyone else for their opinion. I thought the fog lights would add a different touch to it. Oh well, i like 'em so i'm keepin 'em for now.
Snort: no B16... i meant (in the other post) that i did whai i said i was gonna do a while ago.
SQCivic: Right now I have Nitto NT450 in the front and BFGoodrich Scorchers in the rear (needed rears badly, like EMERGENCY badly).
I think people don't like the pics cuz the pics just don't do it justice. you gotta see it in person. Whoever's gonna be @ the Midwest Meet can see it. Haven't met a person yet that didn't like it.

I was wanting to know what SIZE rubber that is?
I have the Tsunami rear valance & side skirts also (not painted) and they fit the lines of the body very well. The rear does not stick out very far at all and looks good. I'll be glad when I get the funds to have it painted.

You from skokie man I couldnt help but notice the drivers image license plate? Did you get it painted at Body works and if so did you think they did a good job? I have heard a lot of carp about those damn russians.

Just commenting on the Tsunami... The sideskirts are nice. They definately blend in well with the rest of the car. I'm not too happy with the rear though. Those little thingies that stick up look weird IMO. Plus the cut out portion for the exhaust tip is pretty small. I think I'm not going to get the rear valence. I'll either wait for Tsunami to make a full bumper replacement, or I'll get something else. Definately gettin' the sideskirts though. Very clean.
Are the sideskirts made out of the same thickness urethane as the front bumper? How did they fit? Did you install them? Any other hardware needed? How do you install them?

The cut out for the exhaust is plenty big enough. I have the big Magnaflow catback and the bumper fits it perfectly. Don't go by the original pic Tsunami posted which shows the rear cut out fitting flush on the factory exhaust, it is bigger than that. If it can fit the Magnaflow with no problem it can fit any exhaust.
The pieces are the same quality as the front. The only hardware that comes with them are a bunch of screws and some double-sided tape, that's it. No instructions either. I asked VTEC to send me some pics from underneath because I am curious as to how the body shop installed the side skirts.
I also posted on another thread wanting to know if there is a "better" way to install sideskirts & bumper valances other than double-sided tape.
Didn't mean to take up space in your thread VTEC, looks good. Get me those pics when you can. And what size tires are those!

I have to agree. I think the eyebrows or whatever look kinda weird. And those foglights....bleh [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG], WAYYYYYY too many decals and that rear lip or bumper looks kinda funky. As far as droppin a b16 in there...it wont get you too far with those chrome wheels. Looks to me like someone is confused between race/show as far as the looks go anyway. But hey...it's your car. Your money too know what i mean? Don't go by what everyone else says. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
It's funny I used to be a member of the (RIP) Girlie Girl message boards. Half the girls on there had no clue what they were doin. And have you seen some of the cars on their site? Corolla with NEUSPEED stickers (duh). And a ZX2 that claims to run like 13's or somethin (with the only performance mod being like a muffler or somthin). [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Sorry...I digress. Mad props for doin what you wanna do.

The only thing I don't like are the Eyebrows, Eyelids.. whatever those are.....
I kinda like the fogs..... like you said, it's kinda unique.....

One thing...I looked at your profile, you are a guy right? So I'm thinking your sticker says Girlie Girl Chasing??? Or am I wrong all together?
Duh to me, if I am!

That first picture is very deceiving as far as the rear bumper valance is concerned. I'm not sure if it is just the angle, dark color of the car, or what, but the bumper valance does not stick out as far as it appears to in that pic. As soon as I get mine painted I'll post some pics of course.
