Default My 99 HX (edit: new lip)

I thought I would post my car. I'll paint my car next year. For now, im keeping my silver/black theme. I know the lip is a little off. I looks better in person. Im thinking about buying a cheap type-r lip and keep it black. What you think?

Nice and clean! I'm not a big fan of the black side moldings and door handles, but it doesn't look too bad on your car because of the black rims. Good job...what color are you painting it?

bad idea imo,,,,,,,, there are plenty of people on honda tech selling si lips for not that high of a price and you can just buy that and its the same as a type r lip for the 99-00 model civic's

it will bolt right in and should fit close to perfect id go that route

i actually like the lip, much different from the normal h-tech routine..but also looks sharp with the wheels.
whole car is pretty clean.

the lip doesn't look good. Change the lip and get a y8 or z6 head and your car will be nice

like everyone else said, the lip isn't my style.

but other than that, it looks great.

c/f lip would look badass.

Thanks for the comments.

I know the lip isnt the best for my car at the moment. I have been meaning to change it. It looks better in person.

About the engine, it will eventually be swapped with a b-series. It just depends on if I want n/a or boosted.

I think if you get a ctr lip, paint it. The only thing you can leave unpainted is carbon fiber, but then again MTK will probably tell you to paint that aswell.
