ak's new kit! (RS Front, Wings West G5 Sides & Rear)

As many of you know, Andyman97 owns my previous "Viper" body kit. (Viper front, Xenon sides and Rear)

Well here after a week of riding stock, I present to you ladies and gentlemen my new body kit!

Pictures here!
(or click below on my sig's link "MY S1LVER EM2")

I'm picking up my RS upper grill tomorrow, and painting my mirrors SSM this weekend or next.

Keep an eye for an update [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Much thanks goes to Acekicker for the inspiration and 2k2civicRAY for posting the lip deal.

Cost breakdown...
-RS Front Lip (ABS Plastic, yes it feels cheap!) $80 picked up
-Wings West G5 Sides and Rear (Thick urethane, good quality) $380 picked up
-RS Upper Grill (from ebay-not pictured-) $33
-Paint $free (Friend owns body shop)
about~ $ 500
Minus $175 (that i got from selling the kit)

Total: $ 325!

Not bad, eh??

One last thing. I know that i need rims, so don't push it! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Thanks for looking,
ak

oh come on, what did you say?? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

CivicHX01, Thank you. Viper was way too aggressive

Nodnero, you're not the only one saying that. I really need a spoiler too.... the rear looks kinda small.

Looks good...I think the Mini Me Commando Wing would be a nice touch.

Very nice. IMO a Tsunami wing would be a nice touch. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Very purty. Did you do anything special to get that Magnaflow muffer so high off the ground??? Just wondering if you did something like that so it wouldnt scrape.

LOL, Andyman97 would hate you for saying that. The viper actually looks better in person.

Grey, I don't like how the tsunami looks from the side. I was thinking OEM, something like a hybrid/E46, or WW Mini.

CivicLX620, nothing special. The muffler doesn't look that low because the skirt covers most of it. The muffler can is huge.. nothing i could do about that.
And yes, i scrape everywhere..

2k2civicRAY, Thanks to you too!

SkiLLzSter, Your ride looks tight Farley!

I don't care what anyone else thinks about it. I like it and I know it looks good on my car. It does look much different in person than in pics. I've had nothing but compliments on it since I put it on.

Kit looks great bro. You're right, it's much less agressive but it's clean. Once you get your wheels, I think that'll really set it off.

looks good man, if you like the clean look. just doing the opposite what you did, i'm ditching the clean look and going for a more aggressive look.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm thinking of buying this mini-wing (E46 style)



I met the seller today and he was highly interested in setting up Groupbuys for Lip kits for our cars.
Front & Rear Lips, Side skirts, and that E46 spoiler.

Only $42 anyway.
