The side skirts are OEM... Honda makes an Aero kit and a Underbody Spoiler Kit.

Those are the Side Underbody spoilers for 01-05. Honda maya only recognize them as 01-03 Side Underbody Spoiler. They fit through 05 though. THe front and rear Underbody spoilers only fit up to 03. I saw them on Handaccessories.com and went to a local dealership where they matched the price and had them in next day. I paid $300 to have them pre-painted and they were in the next day which is a Steal practically lol....

The front lip is the Type-R lip that just recently hit the market (Finally!). I got it from EBStores.us and it actually arrived Cracked!!!


So i had a buddy of mine weld the plastic and painted it for me. Not to mention the brackets it came with made no sense so i just screwed the lip into the bumper lol worked out well though.

does not stretch easy at all... the ends of the lip is what holds the entire thing up. i put 2 screws underneith and one in each side... also put one underneith in the middle just because. The brackets it comes with are usless... i couldnt figure out where they went (no instructions). i'll post picts tomorrow. won't have time tonight.

I never asked for a refund or anything on the crack...I didnt have the time or patience to send it back and wait for another one or fight it out lol i was getting a good deal on it and i have a body shop guy that works for beer.

thanks.... i get a lot of comments on the lip. the body kits that are designed for the 04-05 are hideous. The only one i would ever think about getting is the R34 kit... and its pushing the limits of Rice..... i really wish they had a BC2 Kit for the 04-05.... from what i have found though its out there but hard to find... everyone has the BC2 for 01-03.

well i mean i have the mugen one from EBstores or w.e. and i'm still debating on whether or not to get it painted or not the same color as my car. what you think?


shitty photochop onthe wheels black w chrome lip(what i wanna do) but heres the lip..



original, little better pic of the lip


i think it would be good staying black to match the headlights and wheels(when i do them like that, get them powdercoated) it would go w all the black accents to jus keep it instead of paint it body color.

you think CivicInspired?

if you were to get a cf hood i think the black lip would contrast nice with your car but if you don't plan to, paint that sucker

u should go with a full lip and keep it black... front, back and sides. It would give it a nice 2 tone look.


as far as whoever asked me how i adjusted the height of my car.... skunk2 springs.
I thought about coilovers but this is my DD and Coilovers are a bitch with atlanta's roads.

i love everything about your car and what you plan to do with it.. cept the yellow fogs. To me yellow fogs are so mid 90s. Id go with clear or maybe smoked to blend in nicely with everything else... but to each their own! Nice ride nonetheless!
