Forget painting the calipers. Paint that lip. It looks all chipped and ghetto. LoL

or just get a oem lip. It would look better. All that money down to car...like LCA's beaks..etc. But fake lip? I would understand if it was a 96-98 cuz its harder to get a oem lip for it. But 99-00?

yeah i'd go black or the same gold as your car,

whichever, try to keep the color balance 50/50 in your car.

if you believe you got too much gold, paint em black... if too much black, paint em gold

OEM calipers are nothing special to look at. i would keep them black to draw less attention off the rest of your car

Hey ek-s2k i tried pm'ng you about your suspension setup but the messages havent worked for me

I know your lower tie bar is beaks but what kind of subframe brace is that, and what size sway bar is that?
I got a 17mm bar would that subframe brace be adequate?

Nice EK! Id do them either bronze or just cleaned up. the only thing i think your missing is some nice OEM CTR headlights, that would finish your car imo

yea i knw the beaks is at the back.. i am going to make a little bit of modifications so that i will let the beaks in the front. but i cant because my subframe has a little bit of the curve coming out so the beaks bar doesnt fit. so what i am going to do is that i will cut the part on the subframe and is coming out and the beaks will fit in just perfectly. i got the subframe from ebay fastrxu, i got it with the sway bar in one backage for a very good price. i got it for nearly 130 dollars.. aint that much. i think its called M-Factory but i forgot the mm of the sway bar..

yea SIblueEG6 how did you knw there arent any much of ek hatchbacks around here.. . i might go with painting them bronze or just getting em cleaned up..

also we dont have RSX's here not even the integra gsr.. just the 4 doors and no eg si, not even an eg coupe. just maybe like 10 ek's and maybe like 5 integra gsr's. the rest are like all preludes and accords stuff like that..
