burn it

lol jp

take the ricey kit off and get the OEM lip kit

it looks wayyy cleaner on our cars.

and change the color.

 

I would for sure take of the kit and change color. But hey post some more picks of different angels so we can give you all the advice you need.

 

yea lip kits do look alot cleaner but thats just me. its your car do what you think looks good.

 

I actually bought the car like that and trying to get a feel for all the diff options there are for this car. I really dont like the color, nor the kit. When I fist saw this car I thought it was a rice monster. I would deff like to get a lip kit for the car. Anyone have any sugestions on what kit and where to get it. Also, the car did not come with the stock side skirts so it would be really helpfull if the lip kit came with side skirts. Let me know what kits are clean and where to get them so I can put it on before I paint the car back to silver.

 

You could source some OEM bumpers from a junkyard, and get a lip from http://www.handaaccessories.com . Or, that's what I would do, anyways.

Best of luck on the project.

 

yeah get rid of the body kit and get the OEM kit its much better

 

leave the color the same but definately do the lip. get some nice JDM wheels and do things clean but with a twist.

 

mad pic to start off, wonder if its packing a huge wing as well...

if you didn't like it, why'd you buy it? even if you bought it for cheap, the amount you'd spend do make it look decent would be more then you'd expect.

the lip kit alone is like 800 from majestic honda. then you're looking to get some used oem bumpers, and have them color matched to that car unless you are painting the whole car a different color.

anyways, you get the idea.

if you like it, leave it.

 

I bought the car for $500, would you pass that up?

 

WOW. great deal, no i wouldn't.

looks like you'll have more then enough money to work out the mistakes the previous owner did. personally, i'd put everything back to stock, including the paint and make a huge profit selling it.

What was wrong with the car? That's an insane deal.

 

Bad motor and bad taste. The person came to me to sell there car and they wanted 1k and I offered 500 on the spot and they took it. Got lucky.

 

ill give u 1k

 

In my mind, every panel, every peice on this car would have to be bad for it not to be worth 500 or 1k.

 

VERY TRUE. keep us updated with your progress, and also post better pics of the car in its current state .

there will always be haters. I am going to paint it back t stock since I already have the bumpers. I lifted the car back up to stock hight couple days ago and about to pull the engine. After I put the engine in I will get it painted. It should come out lookin nice. I will post some more pics when I have them.

 

since u saved so much on it, its only fair to dump what its really worth into it.

hint: k20

 

I wish I had that kind of cash to drop a k20 in it. but I am just goin to drop the factory motor in it until I get everything back to stock and work from there. Probably boost the stock motor then move up to another motor...... when it blows.

 

sounds like a plan.

 

How much boost would you run on a d17? 7-8lbs?

 

i ran 4-5psi. it ran very nice, i had a small oil leak that i didn't get fixed until it was too late . this was back in 2003.

 

did the 4-5lbs make a difference? My audi tt isn't all that quick and I am about to sell it cause I have this civic now.
