Sorry but....Dont like what you have done at all. Car looked mucho better in the first pic.

Dont know what you were thinking with the way you mounted that $30 lip either.

If you like it, cool....but thats my take on it.

They sent the wrong lip. The packaging said 99-00 civic. I cut 2 slits on either side of the bottom and had to use self taping screws to get it to fit propper. I messed with it more last night and got it more flush but Ireally need to take the sceewa out and spray them black. Thanks for youe input though. I eespect everyone's veiws.

Blades were just too heavy for the car. Non-ps from the factory Atleast I have cold ac

When the slips went on I noticed a huge difference in handling and when the auto x's went on with the 195-45 tire it got slightly better. Ironically I've always hated the auto x wheel until I put it on the sol. Probally the only car thoae wheels look ok on imo

Thanks!

Damn nice, what did you do to bring out the shine and what type of coilovers does it have, do you expect any camber wear.

Shouldn't since toe is what kills the inside of tires, not negative camber.

Nice, another del sol - looks pretty clean! Those bumper lips can require a little fine tuning - a second pair of hands helps. What else will you do to it?
