still under construction

 

Looks good!

 

Very nice

 

airwalker bumper from a ek? good idea

 

Looks good, but the missing spare tire doesn't look all that great.

 

i removed the spare tire bracket

 

and will be shaving the indent in the rear bumper. i got a rear lip from an rsx that needs a little motivation to go on. fits pretty well though.

 

What about the mounting point on the rear gate and the off-center license plate?

I had planned on 'shaving' my spare tire, but there is sooooo much to do just to make it look right.

 

somebody posted this before:

 

/\/\ Yeah, that just doesn't look good or 'finished' at all like that. And you can't move the license plate surround over to the middle because its curve is not symmetrical.

The Fullmark gate would be the way to go if you want to get rid of the spare

 

i have that... actually im just waiting for my fabricator to sked me a CF mold for my
oem fullmark tailgate, its easier and cheaper to ship it here.. ill just use my fullmark
tailgate in one my my Vs back home(P.I.)....



then i could just rebuild the part of the bumper w/ the moon hole on it!

 

So what bumper is that? What mods did you need to do to make it work?

 

99-00 civic airwalker bumper. i had to cut off the top section that goes around the civic grill. then i cut th sides off the bumper because the crv is a little wider. i reattached them at a wider angle and trimmed and reshaped a few spots on the sides under where the bumper follows the curve of the fender. the whole thing was screwde over the oem bumper that i cut most of the ceter section out of. i am in the process of overlaying the the very top so that it goes completely under the headlights as it is currently about 1" too short. after i get the fiberglass work done i will remove the plastic oem bumper and have a one off custom crv airwalker bumper

 

bumper originally looked like this

that is not my bumper or my thread.
my bumper is also a knockoff. i would feel bad about cutting up a $1500 bumper

 

What rims are those?

 

volk racing gt-u
17x9
+20 offset.

but i am swapping them for my other wheels this weekend.
blitz technospeed z1
17x8
+38

hopefully they will fit better and allow me to lower it 3 more inches. the volks stick out past the fender about 3/4 of an inch. so unless i run -10 degrees camber they rub uf i go any lower than it is in the pics. and they rub on the edge of the fender which sux *****.

im hoping to run the blitz wheels with -2 degree camber all around and be tucking the top edge of the tire.

right now my teins are adjusted all the way up so i have alot of room to lower it to the height i want. if the blitz dont fit i will be gettingdifferent wheels in a 16x7.5 +38 size and run 225/40r16. i know these are considerably smaller than the oem size but i doint care. i want it low

 

Lol nice. i just posted a tread with some pics of my V. i wanna lower it but idk how.. they told me accord coilovers and im about to do that.. i was think about cutting the spring but i dont know bro..

i know nothing about suspension. im 18 and this is my first car.. and i find it so hard to lower it.. i which the crv coilovers were cheaper but +$1000 is a bit to much for coilovers :p

 

Any updates???????

 

it really turns out good!!!
it looks like the V has an extended bumper...it totally changed the whole
image of our V! i like it!!
basically you wrap the bys ek bumper over the oem bumper??? i cant wait
for the finish product...

g/l!
