eh?

 

Typeeeeee R

 

heh

 

both!!!! mix and match

 

depends which parts. mix and match. but if you don't have a type-r please no type-r badges!

 

hah i hate that ****. if i see one more i vtec sticker on a non vtec car ill shoot someone. hfp front and rear and type r sides is

 

HFP wing

 

type r!!!

 

but wait isn't the HFP kit the same as the Type-R?

 

I don't understand the question, are you asking about the kit or stickers?

 

I don't think he would put the HFP sticker on his car...lol
its about the kit

 

nope. they are so different

 

ok what are the differences?

 

okay here it goes. Pretty much everything is different between the HFP and the CTR kits, except the spoiler, those are pretty identical. Just look at the pictures, the lips look nothing alike.

HFP Kit - it fits usdm/cad(not sure what other countries, but fits ep3 bumpers with the bumper lights on it) bumpers

Front


Back


CTR kit - Fits jdm/euro bumpers only

Front
02-03 bumper/lip


04-05 bumper/lip

Back

 

o_O it looks as if the side skirts are the same for ctr and hfp almost

u can always buy replica ctr kits
they fit usdm bumper and look exactly like the ctr kits

i like the front euro lip, its small almost like there isnt a lip at all
imo big lips on the ep3 are ugly

also i think the ctr side skirt fits onto all eps doesnt matter what market

 

The hfp skirt is more boxy then the ctr and the front part is raised to match the lines of the front lip.

You could buy the replica kits, they are nice also. But when you compare the real ctr stuff to replica stuff, theres a huge difference in fitment, quality, and overall looks.

yeah the skirts will fit any ep3, but the front and rear lip need the jdm/euro bumper to fit.

 

I don't like the HFP kit at all, so I'd say Type-R.

 

I do not see anything wrong w/how the HFP parts look on a USDM car.

The HFP parts are a known quantity, high quality and excellent fit.

If you want a CTR replica kit, you're going to have to shop too carefully, IMHO. If you go that direction, make sure you research very well to make sure you've got parts that are as high quality as the HFP parts.

:-)

 

Plus, if you get the JDM front bumper/lip or rear bumper/lip, you need to get JDM reinforcement-bars. I really like my HFP front on my SSM EP3, but the rear looks kinda strange. And I like the way the HFP skirts look than the CTR ones, but just hate that front part that goes high as hell up the fender/door

 

I just like the rear lip of the Type R, the rest I would go with HFP.

 

the hfp rear lip is pretty sweet. but the type r is also, and i too hate how the sideskirts come up to meet the front lip, but the front lip is sexy

 

both of em are bad ***

 

I would do one whole kit. I would roll the HFP just because it's pre painted. That's if your car is still stock color.

 

valid point poindexter, but i i like mix and match!

 

do it, thats what i did
