I haven't posted in a while but I've been lurking on here daily. I'm going to finally order some small stuff for my car. Then in the next month I'm either going to do a h2b swap or paint my car. The choices oh man the choices haha

Best to do them at the same time. Remove the engine so you can paint the bay and whole car at the same time. Then motor swap in the process!

So true 
I drove d 4dr to a McDonald's before and the kid behind d counter wanted to know where I got my depo tails
So I said ebay
Aside from looking very closely for the Honda inscription inside the lenses, only way u can tell from afar is if the back housing is black and the borders/edges are dark.
Also at night, when the tails are on, the light pattern is more diffused than depo ones.
There is also a taiwan company that makes them better than the depo ones quality-wise.
I forgot the name sun-something...sold all of those and kept my SJ and US ones

That would be ideal but I'll have to see what end up happening. I'm going to start by getting the qsd kit and a harness made. Then see what kind of money I have saved up after getting the h23. Torque for days haha

Sorry for the late reply, but you are misinformed. I know SportEL from a EL specific site I used to frequent back in 2004ish. This has been beated to death: it was never an option, all the EL's or Domani's rocking OEM lips are simply Honda SiR lips from the 96-98 Civic. It shares a very similar bumper line with the EL.
I had a 96-98 OEM JDM SIR Civic lip, and that does not line up at all. The mount positions are not even in the same positions. As you try to bend one side down to fit, it gets wavy as you try to align it, not to mention getting the gap between the bumper and lip perfect. That is the reason I sold it. I was not going to be happy with fitment.
Here is my write-up on it and install

I put 195/50 tires on them. They are 15x8 +35mm
Bought them 3yrs ago out of desperation. Track day was coming up fast and needed some 15x8s asap lol
They weigh at least 15lbs a piece though

Threw on the front bumper bra I got recently from LiL accORd RideR. Thanks again 
Front bumper paint wasn't all that great and I think it cleans up the front better than a replica lip.

I've been trying to get a Hood bra for my '99 since the past 3 weeks 
There's a show in April here in my area and I want to hide a paint bubble on the hood...
CANT FIND ANYBODY SELLIGN A HOOD BRA T_T
Lucky you, looks clean yet oddly wrinkled, i think you should sell it to me :D
