I recently purchased the HFP front lip and sideskirts and I have to say it rocks!

For anyone looking to add a little spice to their EP, let me suggest the HFP outer lip kit..I have been rolling on the kit minus the rear bumper for 3 weeks now and these are my impressions...

1) Being a factory part the fit and finish is first rate! It's nice to have something built and engineered by the same folks who built the car..Everything lines up perfect and installation is very easy! For the front I removed the bumper and used the supplied brackets and 20 minutes later the front was good to go..Same for the sideskirts (identical to ctr) very easy and wonderful clear instructions.

2) Everything is included in the kit..brackets, screws double sided tape etc..Just follow the instructions. If you can put legos together you can install this kit..No need for a body shop which is a plus! ALSO comes PREPAINTED to match your car perfect! Good for you bad for body shop.

3) Made from urethane plastic..say goodbye to cracks unlike fiberglass crap which breaks if you look at it wrong. This kit was designed to last the duration of the car.

4) I said this in 2 but how awsome is it to have a kit exactly prepainted to match your car perfect? Figure this into the cost which turns out to be a pretty good deal!

$300 for front $450 for skirts.

5) Another thing is I hate it when people try to rock the ctr kit on usdm bumpers this kit goes on the usdm bumper giving a car a consistent look, not trying to be something it's not.

6) You don't see these everyday really makes the car standout out brings out the lines of the overall design to make it look crazy.

In conclusion if your looking for something that will make your hatch standout from the crowd, maintain a factory classy look, basically indestrucible, perfect fit, prepainted for a perfect match then look no further than the HFP kit..Pictures coming soon

 

I'm running the side skirts, they rock!

HFP sideskirts are not identical as CTR sideskirts.

 

Good review, well said. I am about to pick up a new EP3 and I had been debating the skirt situation, trying to justify the money, but you are right that having them come already painted is a good deal.

 

Do you have part numbers? My Honda dealership can't seam to figure that part out

very nice!

-Victor

 

very big!

 

looks good love the drop what is it?

 

Pics resized sorry guys thanks MIKEG..anyway I am running special progress competition coilovers that have been revalved and running totally new spring rates 1200 pounds rear, 900 front

 

I had the HFP front lip on my EP for awhile until I hit a cat. I agree fit and finish is top quality, it slipped right on and the color matched perfectly Now I got a USDM Mugen Front lip.

 

are those 16"? Looks like the offset is a little high. I'm running a +50 16" JDM TYPE-R wheel and it looks small on the car. The high offset doesn't help either.

I am running 16x7.5 with 205/55 Azenis sports..You can't tell from the pic, but the tire is so big it completely fills the wheel well..I have had all of the wheels sizes 17,18 and 16 is my favorite by a mile

car looks good but it looks like the paint of the bumper and front lip doesn't match.

it matches perfectly...ie. factory part..lighting wasn't the greatest and neither was the camera used

 

Are those real Mugen rim and spoiler?

he means just about cost, cost is what we the dealer pay for the parts. basically, he's saying he'll give you a huge discount.

 

Rims are 16x 7.5 Mugen MF10's painted white..Wing is a replica

 

I don't like how the lips on the HFP kits overlap the bumper like that.

 

Thats because the front license plate is supposed to go there

 

Whatever happen to lips that just connect to the bottom of the bumper?
