I FINALLY equipped the Sedan with a BODY KIT! (Pics)
 

I bought the kit for $175 picked up from "itzkalvin" from this site. It sat in my storage for about 3 weeks before I could find time to install it during Spring Break. Man, installing a lip kit is such a pain! :hithead: The body kit wasn't a perfect fit so we had to drill our own holes. The front was 100% perfect. The sides sucked the most because sometimes the kit would rise up so high that the door would hit it when opening, so we had to modify the way it fit. The rear sucks too because I can't find a way to make the right side stay up... Maybe I'll just take it to a shop for the rear or something. Anyway, I think it looks great. Some the rear doesn't fit flush with the car, but you can't really tell unless you stare at it. Its flat black and I don't feel like painting it b/c I think it looks fine. What do you guys think? Well, I THINK I'm finally done modding my car (for now).

I couldn't get the rear to fit correctly, so it kinda just hangs down and the heat from the exhaust hits it. Oh well.

looks pretty good man, I will hopefully throw my kaminari kit on now that my turbo is complete myself.

I don't really care about blurring out my plates either... Whats the use?

And why are some of the pictures not resized? Oh well.

looks good.. u should really try to fit that rear tho..the heat will only do bad things in the long run...

so do you live in San Diego or TX if tx you should go to the meet we are having on july 2nd, for more info go to the tx thread

getty up!......I like it

sweeeeeeeet

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yeah, I drove to LA last week and it kinda melted the bottom. But thats what I expected anyway. I precut some slots for the exhaust at the bottom, but those just got melted away. I figure, nobody is gonna see it anyway.

I'm actually from Dallas, Texas. I moved to San Diego about two years ago for college and I haven't gotten around to changing my license plates yet, that will happen during the summer. I remember going to an Austin meet when I first got my car, like in the summer of 2002, it was a long drive.

nice kit & pics....what kind of kit is it?

Its a RS Lip Kit.

Great kit. Now drop that car, at least an inch! Tint those back windows and throw some undercar neons on :D

Post some pics on the Sedan thread too :)

that rear lip just looks like it on backwards

^^^ he's alright dropped man..


nice kit (I got that kit for $100 awhile ago:D)

Looks nice man ...not gon' paint it?...

as for the rear lip, try to drill the wholes LOWER at the ends. and a little higher holes in the middle(well..left and right) cuz i've had da same problem as you at first

TINT UR WINDOWS and u're set!! :)

im not a fan of lip kits.....BUT damn that looks night. its not flashy at all...its all and neat....looks really good w/ the car


WHERE and HOW MUCH did u get it for?

Looks awsome man. I think it'd look better painted, but it's your call. :tup:

Nice lip kit for the price!! I'm looking for a kit like that, btw i love your wheels
good job

oem honda made= :tup:


knock off with bad fitment= :tdown:


time wasted trying to install knock off and doesn't come out perfect= :tdown: :tdown: :giggle:

i don't think honda made OEM lip kit for sedans, do they?

i had a bit of trouble keeping my side skirts to fit on tight so i used the double sided tape to hold it in place and then i used some smalls spots of urethane glue to keep it there and it worked amazing!

what lip kit is that? it looks hella good on a sedan

I just got this lip and HATE it,had to modify to fit my exhaust.

nice and clean :clap:

very good looking :tup:

honda has oem kit for the 4door in asia

here in canda too

Looks good to me.. Maybe some tinted windows will finish it?

Man, thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. First of all its not a knock off of the OEM Kit, it doesn't even look like the OEM kit. Its the RS Kit that many of the Sedans in Asia have. Are you saying that everything else sucks and will not fit correctly just because its not "OEM Honda Made?" Isn't that what aftermarket is? Why do you think it's time wasted when it doesn't come out perfect? I could have easily taken it to a body shop to pay someone to put it on for me, but at least I took the effort to DIY.

Do you have an OEM Kit? Did you put it on yourself?

hey man don't worry about that......somone will always put down your work.....car looks good..you did the work yourself....even better....nuff said

oh yeah I have to post this again

You blind? His rears are almost tucked.

looks nice. i'd suggest paint, but it looks coo either way. :tup: la jolla's nice this time of year.

looks good.

looking good as usual :tup:

yea no shit, looks great!

rs kit in asia=oem dude..


im saying.. that if u bought a kit that is rs styled.. its a knock off brand and that u won't get a perfect fitment...

i did an install for my friend and it sucked ass bad.. the kit was made in china and it was crapped.

implant a k20a in that car and wow...what a perfect car

^I have to disagree, but to each their own :)

honestly dude you need to paint that kit, keeping it unpainted makes your car look cheap and rice and far from clean. also, you desperately need to fix that rear lip. i would be embarassed driving around like that. not trying to hate or anything man cause youre headed in the right direction. but who knows, its just my opinion; and the fact that i'm a perfectionist helps me to get irritated with little mundane details (but i guess at the same time i wouldnt exactly say those are little details)..

coupe grille finishes the look :_beer:
