Why not stick to no fog-lights and a clean 99-00 SI/OEM lip.\


An evo/impreza style lip/splitter looks nice too.

BYS front bumper or Acura 1.6EL (Canadian) front end conversion?
BYS IMO looks best with turbo-setups
I think these estimations are right:
BYS: $300-$1300
Acura 1.6EL front end: $150-$600




















or combine the two and make something amazing





or combine the stock 99-00 and the honda domani/acura 1.6el front

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the BYS front bumper lip made of CF? CF looks great, but I sure as hell wouldn't use it for a front lip - WAY too easy to damage, and with it being built into the BYS bumper, impossible to replace.

Also, no tech, belongs in appearance forums.

Yeah, I believe it's the BYS that has a carbon fiber lip, and the Airwalker is fiberglass and has no carbon fiber.

Alternatively, I've always been a big fan of the Buddy Club bumper and skirt kits for the EJ6/8. Similar to the Airwalker, but much cheaper and easier to get your hands on.

That tsunami lip is sick. Gonna have to remember that one.

Never seen 99-00 on Domani front end. Not bad.

Don't forget the Orthia front end guys Be a baller.

Coupe lines don't really go well with the orthia
but it's a sick swap otherwise!
Hatch's look great with it though!






Integra SJ front end though!

Eww, that isn't at all what I remembered it looking like. After clicking around, the image I had in my mind was actually of the Feels kit. In the same category as BYS in "hard to get, pricy" for the real thing, but there are a lot of knock-offs out there.



Alternatively, Chargespeed also makes a good looking (to me) kit.



Also alternatively, I believe Chargespeed at one point made a one piece front end wide body "drag kit" for the EJ6/8 chassis that was ******* SEXY. They marketted it through the marketplace, you can probably dig through there to find it again.

Just bouncing opinions with you :3 I understand to each his own. I love that chargespeed one too!

Ouch that Feels kit is huge! I guess it was suitable for the time it was made, lol.

This one is nice too, the J-blood bumper, however it looks like a stock 99-00 bumper with a huge lip.

The Feels kit is huge, but it's FEELS! How can you go wrong? Also, a lot of these over the top, "ricey" kits (BC included) really don't look that bad when they're properly painted.

My vote is still for BYS or Domani

Wonder how much fabrication was done to make that 99-00 bumper fit... Time to research.

any gaps in between the lip and the "diffuser"?
You can mount it to the factory lip holes if you drill new holes in the sti lip and use longer hardware.

I just attached it to the bottom of my SI lip to be more secure when/ scrapped. There are NO gaps between the lip and the sti lip.
