HONDA FRONT AIR DAM

OK, here's the delema. Because i liked the look of the honda body kit, i bought it, and had them install it, everything was fine except the front air dam didnt seal to the lower grill area, so after trying two others, they finally siliconed it to the bumper so, all was well and good except i cant the honda front end cover desnt fit!! So, now winter is over and what do u know, no bra+cinders=paint chips out the wazoo!, has this happened to anyone else, i dont understand why they cant make it the same as the bumper(different matereals) the bumper dont have a single chip on it.

The front end cover isn't supposed to fit. I believe it says in the directions for the bra that it won't fit with the OEM body kit. I know I read it somewhere before I ordered mine from H&A... guess a bra just doesn't jive with the "tuner" look. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I personally think the bra is ugly, so I would just leave it off, as for the chips, they happen on all cars so in time a paint job will need to be applied. It's just life

i know that the bra isnt supposed to fit, because i asked the dealer and was kinda ticked that i spent the money and cant protect it. as for the chips i dont know why the "front underbody spoiler" as honda calls it is chipping so much, i mean at the seam of where the bumper meets the front spoiler its like night and day, im talking about a dozen chips per sq./in. on the front spoiler. as for your bra from h&a(?) how did you get it, how does it fir with the body kit, and how much was it?

No my bud down here has it on his truck and it looks good. I have a full bra and my paint under it got faded from water under it so bras suck especially with the silver on the new civics. My dad has a White accord with a full bra and no paint fading on his ride [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] But I have 10K on this ride now so the price of a clear bra wouldn't do me any good right now, maybe my next ride my accord will have it. But the clear bra is not cheap like Lexus and Mercedes come with them for a extra $700-$800 but I got quoted $125 so I dunno.
