Nice Job. It looks hella good. How'd you do it? I'm getting frustrated w/making my black Teg bling. It's got swirl marks all over. BTW, is that the '97 R lip?

Nice! What wax did you use?

That looks like a nice drop. I thought the OE's only lowered the car .75"...that looks a bit lower. Do you have the shocks on a soft setting?

questions questions.. here are the answers:
- the lip is from the 94-95 Integra Si VTEC (JDM GS-R)
- as my sig says, suspension is h&r OEs w/ neuspeed konis. perches are on the lowest settings, which is why there's more of a drop. however, you can't tell from these pics really, but the rear gap is a bit larger than the front, so i may raise the front a notch or two to even it up.
- as for how i washed and waxed, i didn't go crazy. just used some meguiar's car wash and meguiar's wax. cleaned the wheels. then washed the body really well. dried it. then applied the wax and buffed, in sections. finished it off by dressing the tires.

one day i'll have to go nuts and do some sort of crazed detailing job with more steps than just wash, dry, wax.

nooooo. i prefer the caps on. the wheels look too busy for the lines of the car with the caps off. as for painting the lip, it will no longer match the sideskirts and rear splash guards, so i think it'd look odd to me as well. it stays as is.

Sweet lip. Don't paint it, it matches the lower side skirts.
