Car looks nice! How do you like the GCs with the Skunk 2 shocks? I've got Omni sleeves on my Skunk 2 shocks and am looking to upgrade. Thanks.

Ok, for all the people who say to get a real lip: I wanted an Si lip, but the only way they come is painted. I wanted a lip that would match the factory moldings of the car. Having a painted plastic front lip (which only come in black, blue, or red) would look like ****. The eurethane front lip matches the side moldings and the splash guards. Also, by the time you buy the lip and all of the mounting hardware from Honda, you will have spent over $300, which is idiotic in my opinion.

I will definitely not boost the single cam. The car gets driven only at night, twice a month. It's getting an LS longblock with a GSR tranny. I will more than likely strap a T3/T04E 60-1 to it and beat it until I decide to build it.

if you want the look you gotta pay to play. you can grab screws from the junkyard or something. Or buy one used from someone on here. You got the fake ugly lip and trust me its killing the look of your car. And i know you care about the look of your car...hence the thread.

Get a black Si lip new and if you want it to match the skirts/moldings/splash guards just spray it with some bumper coating/SEM coating. You just have to read the instructions properly and trust me it will last without chipping. Car looks real clean, the lip just kills it.
