If you look at the front end of the 06 civic you'll see the "ducts" (where the foglight goes are extremely huge)

Some EG/EK style lip on a totally overhauled car doesn't fit it.

If people want an EG/EK they should BUY an eg/ek

I'm not being evil/a jerk etc... but styling should go forward not backwards. Just like the bodies have progressed

i totally agree with you...

for example, on CSi, you had some guy post a pic of a photoshopped VIS mugen lip on an 8th gen, they though it was real!!!!!!!

that lip just doesn't fit the FG body though... so yeah .. i agree brotha

definitely doesn't match. Look at the cut outs on it in relation to the foglight openings. They don't match! Looks "forced." Definitely would look elsewhere.

You crazy man!

Well I like my HFP lip kit, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion of it!

I'm sorry, but that doesn't flow at all. Way too many holes in the front.

it looks like somebody ripped the mugen lip off my dc and stretched it on the fg

also looks screwy without the holes lining up

Of all the front lips out there I think the HFP lip looks the best, who better to design the shape and aero of it the the people who the car together in the first place, not to mention the warranty and the perfect paint match.

what exactly is warranty going to cover on the HFP front lip? Please indulge me with a scenario.
