Adam I can't say i'm the type of person that would spend that much on parts to only use them for shows, but i can sort of understand why. then again i don't go to shows or spend that much on spoilers and shiftknobs. i'll eat my words if i buy a gen1

i just bought the $15 special polyurethane itr lip off ebay and it doesn't have any mounting tabs so i have to get creative with that. can't say it's the same for the ebay si-vtec lip since i got mine from weaksauce and it was $200 but had the tabs to mount.

Easybmx, the problem is as Im sure you know, all ebay sellers have something different. Bayson R had some really good looking sivtec and itr lips. Came with tabs, near perfect looking fitment, 70 bucks shipped for the more expensive lip. Can't beat that. Damn it I'm kicking myself for not scooping both lips from bayson when I had the chance. Probably going to save another 100 and pick up two new tires to lower the front.

This may be a newb question. Obviously I know the front wheels on a dc start to get some negative camber if you go low enough. I'm at that point, but what about the rear? I have maybe a finger gap. As I tuck rubber will it start to camber like the fronts?

Yeah it will, I'm tucking tire all around and the rears are cambered a bit but not as much as the fronts.

get an alignment....

i doubt factories in chinaland have different molds with much variation so to me an ebay lip is an ebay lip. if i ordered a $50 sivtec piece i wouldnt expect much difference than my $200 one. comptech might be an exception but theyre not too much cheaper than oem

the car would look good with some blades but on that note to help ya out, U should clean up ur headlights there lookin kinda glazed, what i do is i take purple power spray and wipe the lights then come back with rubbing compund and a a dremel with a buffing pad buff it then wax it an buff it with dremel again then wax and wipe then spray with purple power i know it sounds like alot but in the end its worth it, heres mine after i did this, it should only take a hour at the most, note i recommend removing the lights to do this so no damge is caused to the bumper
