very nice, looks hot :clap:

joe6680 07-03-2006 02:25 AM

I dunno I dont really like it that much...I think you need side skirts and a rear lip then paint them to match the car. Otherwise its just like those body kits you see that arent painted at all...just looks a little unfinished. Maybe if you had more carbon fiber on the car it would flow better, but its like you went for clean and clear and then threw on a black piece of dirt. This is just my opinion, I know you didnt specifically ask for it, and I am not flaming you. Just giving you some advice what you choose to do with it, is entirely up to you.

D5cIvIc 07-03-2006 03:33 AM

its ALRIGHT...i like it that it's CF, but everyone has that style front lip

R3DL1N3 07-03-2006 03:56 AM

looks good. rocking the fake japanese license plate i see. :hgrin:

genexrocket 07-03-2006 04:00 AM

looks good, clean

diskreet 07-03-2006 07:57 AM

I understand why a few people here dont really like it. I can see why. The reason I got CF, though, is cause its the only kind of lip I can add and not have to worry about side skirts or a rear lip.
Painted lips look bad without a full kit, so I went with this cause I dont have the money for a full kit.

Thank you for the honesty, though. That I do appreciate. :tup:

blackBDMcivicLX 07-03-2006 08:06 AM

I like it. Very good buy! Your passenger eyelid looks a little weird though. It looks like it's stick up over the fender alot.

exturbo6 07-03-2006 08:09 AM

very nice. car looks sweet with it. now you need a lip in the rear.

diskreet 07-03-2006 08:09 AM

Oh well the eyelids are a lot thicker than I expected. They do stick up about 5mm over the headlight. On the very end of the eyelids, closest to each fender, they are 1-2 mm higher. Its just the way they are made.
Considering I used JB Weld to attach them I dont think I could have gotten them on any better.

blackBDMcivicLX 07-03-2006 08:35 AM

Ohhh, I never had eyelids so I wasn't sure if thats just how they fit or not. How much was the lip?

diskreet 07-03-2006 08:43 AM

$240 with shipping and tax (since streetstyler.com is in PA i got taxed)

skipbarber 07-03-2006 09:07 AM

i know you have your reasons not to....but your car screams "DROP ME!"

Civicman1988 07-03-2006 09:14 AM

looks nice

cubanmike26 07-03-2006 10:16 AM

I like it Diskreet, looks very nice.

diskreet 07-03-2006 03:54 PM

lol @ the "drop me" comment, but I really can't here. I am maybe 6 inches off the ground now, and thats too low. I have to drive it like a supercar in my city. Everything is hilly and bumpy and the roads are terrible.

thanks for the compliments everyone

blackBDMcivicLX 07-03-2006 06:18 PM

PA roads = Teh suck

bOoStEd042dr 07-03-2006 06:58 PM

looks good man....very clean just how it is

diskreet 07-03-2006 07:01 PM

yeah pa roads are terrible. we do get 100+ degree days, but we also get blizzards. So trhe weather in this state is of both extremes. Means bad news for roads which sit on mountains with lots of water running through them to crack the roads.

Mr_Plenty 07-04-2006 05:46 PM

i like that type of lip alot, its not bad on your car it just doesnt flow to well since you dont have much carbon fiber on the car and you dont have side skirts and so forth but its good lookin

joey_kev 07-06-2006 02:26 AM

very nice. i like silver car with carbon fibre lips

familycar 07-06-2006 07:21 PM

looks good man i just finally got my cf type r lip installed. i got mine for $215 with tax and shipping from robearracing.com believe it or not. it came pretty quick too. i llok at at and want it lower but i havve eibach prokits and they ride great plus i hate scraping. i do not want to ruin my beautiful cf lip and i certainly dont want to scrape the painted sides when i get them. i have 18's so wheel gap isnt an issue. its sits kind high thou. i really need to get some new pics up it looks good right now!! LOL

diskreet 07-06-2006 09:02 PM

I am just upset. As soon as I get it installed, my tranny kills itself. Yay.

Well at least it died before this warranty is up, even if the warranty isnt all that great. So I am actually glad it died now, as the autos all go soon and it was only a matter of time.

phantasticphan 07-06-2006 10:00 PM

nice
