minor facelift on my 96 hatchback.
I was getting sick of the way my car looked (I wanted something cleaner/more oem looking) so I decided to give it a facelift. Here are the old pictures: http://oenz.us/civic
and the new:
enjoy.

This is what I posted in the sponsors thread:
1. The "slight" bend left waves in the lip that do not come out
2. This lip required A LOT of sanding and trimming to try and get it to sit flush with the bumper (it's still off by a lot)
3. How are you supposed to mount this using the tabs when all thats included is a set of screws?
I'd say this lip is worth $90 MAX. $159 is ridiculous.

Nothing great under it. Just a fstb and intake. I had a greddy 15g kit waiting to go on but I don't really think I'm going to keep the car for much longer (probably sell it summer 2007) so I sold the kit. I'm happy with a nice looking car that handles well.

Right on, those type R style lips look so cheap and generic.
