I've always loved the way the duckbills looked on the EG's and various other wings.. The EP3 has 4 choices of wings.. hfp, ctr, buddyclub or mugen. They are all nice but i've always wanted to make my own. So Leon (HomelessEM2) came thru, I gave him my $250 Seibon CF CTR Wing and let him cut it up we basically just used the mounting base off this wing so we could get the holes lined up.. And with my money and his talent we made my Kevlar Wing.

When we first started.. back in June.









THEN.. Disaster Struck.. this is what happens when you over tighten a wing.





little bit of the progress we made.. took off my JDM Front and put on my USDM Front with HFP Lip.



driving home with no back window..



Mean while... we cut up my JDM Front to make a Radiator Duct since they dont sell the Mugen one anymore.





bought a new rear window. and first test fit



laid the kevlar



First test fit of duct (trash) and the wing with kevlar on wing. THE DUCT IS NOT DONE! THIS WAS A TEST FIT







We didnt like the duct so we are making another one as I type this.

Finally wetsanded and painted under side.







Ill be doing a photoshoot as sooon as I throw my JDM Bumper back on with the Kevlar Radiator Duct in.. I could paint the wing but i like the color of the kevlar for now. I get bored fast so we'll see. Next up we are going to make a BYS wing for the EP3

ready for flaming

nice

 

nice work man...

 

Great diy but I just think the kevlar sticks out too much with the black.

 

It looks good and mad props to do it yourself. Thats how to get **** done in hondaland. Ill always call them our hotrods and this thread proves it.

You think about matching those rims to the look of the kevlar?

 

He said it best.^

 

I'd love to see a BYS style wing on an EP3

 

damn!! Thats some awesome DIY right there!!

I agree about the rims, the yellow is kind .. "meh"

sucks about that rear window... man that must have been upsetting

 

nice work, looks great

 

nice DIY man

car looks good with the color combo

close ups of the wing??

 

thanks for all the comments.

ill be attending the EPhatch BBQ next weekend in Maryland. Ill have a proper shoot once my JDM Front is on along with the Kevlar Radiator Duct.

Thanks again.

 

very very nice final product!!yea some upclose pics would be nice..


now sell me the wing please lol

 

Very nice, I like to see some innovation. It seems DIY stuff is one of the best ways to get uniqueness out of the Honda scene.

 

I like where you are going with the wing idea. It looks like it turned out well. But I don't know about the CK Radiator duct? hmm..

 

looks good any more close up shots of it?

 

lovin the diy bro

love your ep3

looks so damn SEXY!

 

nice job frank

 

DAMN! ive always wanted to be able to make my own shiiiiit... must have been fun to do and really rewarding with the outcome

 

looks really good

 

Looks good, I got a kevlar wing on my eg hatch. Did you clear it? How come you didn't lay it on the other side as well?

 

Great job man. i wish i had time to make one for my ek...like the bys eg wing...i wonder how that would look? wanna make one for me n il pay you?

 

custom, way make your dream come true.

 

props on the work...

 

sick. how much did the kevlar run you, i'm doing a air splitter right now in fiberglass then gonna lay cf over it, but i'm thinking kevlar now.

 

Thanks again for all the comments.

We didnt lay Kevlar on the under side just because i thought it would look good painted black.

The kevlar was on sale for $50 a yard i believe.

The Front Duct I may do in Carbon Kevlar so its not as bright.

I can not wait to see how our Kevlar BYS Style wing comes out along with the Rear Diffuser.

Thanks again for the comments
