Default JDM CF lip now fitted

After a long time searching i finally picked up a CF lip for my JDM ITR. It came in seibon wrapping but i'm doubting its made by seibon as it doesnt look like any other seibon JDM lips i've seen. It has that curvy bit in the middle and other seibon/vis lips i've seen including genuine spoon lips are straight across (as far as i can tell from pictures) Either way i'm pretty pleased with it, it beefs up the front end a whole lot. Fitment is pretty good, but it sort of bows out a little on the drivers side (RHD car) but its not that noticeable and considering how long i've looked for one of these, i can live with it. (yeah i know the hood needs polishing/re-laquering )

I usually don't really care for carbon fiber unpainted on cars other than maybe black, but thats looks pretty darn good. Quality seems pretty nice. Nice shots.

Your car looks good, but would look even better without the Spoon stickers, IMHO.

Yes, the Spoon lip goes straight across the bottom. Oddly enough, my lip bowed out on the driver's side also. I just took a few quick pics for reference:





The car seems to "need" a carbon bonnet now that it has a carbon front lip.

I just pulled the car out of the driveway, to take some pics.

In Japan, I don't feel worried about posting a picture of my car directly in front of my house. The exact location of the car is still unknown though, as the license plate would lead a potential thief to a different house.

Looks good, it could use a couple more spoon decals though.

wow, I've been waiting for one of those styles (the curve instead of it being straight like spoon)
and now that I know they have them... =D I like it a lot.

As soon as i get someone to either re-lacquer the hood or wet sand it then the spoon sticker on it will be coming off. I like the ones on the doors and winscreen and i have quite a few spoon parts so its not ricey (i dont think)

^^^ its no different than having apc parts and putting apc decals on. Unless you are just trying to show off that you have expensive parts. Your rig though, I just think its pointless unless you are sponsored by them. I will rep the honda-tech and I &lt;3 my honda decals though .

all 3 of those cars are foccin' secsi, i do agree you went a little overboard with the Spoon decals though...

Reid definately, a CF hood/bonnet would look so good with that lip and those wheels, btw did you paint those wheels after you bought them?? what's the story behind them?

i've kind of been itching to get mine powder coated black

You had to get one for a car show?

He probably needed them for the extra car show points.

I spy 4 lug in the pic of the last car. Why are you posting pics of a non-ITR in the ITR forum?</TD></TR></TABLE>

easy tiger....

yes, because a lipless car looks like butt. spoon lip didn't come in time.

extra car show points and prize money to get more parts. not to mention it's fun just to enter a car in with the friends.

5 lug btw: http://www.superhonda.com/phot...1.JPG

people who are interested can click.

is it not true that the stock front lip is wind tunnel tested for aerodynamics in accordance with the rear stock ITR wing...my question is is this aftermarket lip or any aftermarket lip tested the same.....like spoon for instance?

sorry to jack the thread.....maybe i should make a new one?

The Mugen front bumper is, but I'm not aware of any lips that are. Anyone else?

Probably not. I had a genuine Mugen front lip, side skirts and gen1 rear wing on my last integra (along with Mugen exhaust and suspension...hence te username) and being perfectly honest the car felt way more planted to the road at higher speeds than my ITR ever has.
