Default Anti-Rice Project

UPDATE PICTURES ON PAGE 3

Well i wanted to do this for sometime now, but i wanted to keep the body kit on the car until i swapped the LS in.. well the engine is going to have to hold off now, cuz i got a lot of body issues now

Last night at around 10pm i was driving up my road. I saw some kind of animal in the road, and being the animal lover i am ( ) i went to do a 3pt turn, and went back a little to far and road my rear bumper up the curb. The bumper got stuck, so i tried to slowly pull forward without breaking the bumper.. well plans failed..




The car is lowered 1.8" all around, but the body kit is like 1" itself, it its actually lowed like 2.8", bad idea for daily driver, i know

Well anyway, I order my Password:JDM SiR conversion kit on Friday and i'm going to get a Spoon Style Lip




well it was a bad day, but maybe it was just to give me direction for my project

It looks like those holes are for the plastic that goes on top of the corners of the bumpers. They probably come with them right? They should...What about side skirts? You should change that too.

I have no idea for sure, cus I've never worked on an EK chassis.... but I don't think I've ever seen those SiR bumpers on a coupe. Just make sure they fit before you go too JDM crazy.

That body kit looks pretty bad, I'm not gonna lie. Good luck with that.

its just cheaper to get the SiR conversion kit, no one in my area has it on a Red Civic

the ek4 sir rear bumpers for the hatch will not work, you need the sedan rear bumper. the front bumpers will be fine.

i just rechecked your linked pic and i think you got the right ones. should look good

I don't get it, why'd you do a 3 point turn if there was an animal in the road? You should've just honked and thrown change at it until it went away.
