Default Dark Green car with CF...Yay, or nay?

CF to go with this shade of green.




As of now, I'm only interested in a front lip. EvasiveMotorsports is currently selling CF lips for just over $100, and I might be interested in picking one up. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=678730

Mugen


Type R


A CF hood might even be a consideration in the distant future depending on how CF looks with green. Any suggestions/comments are welcome.

i voted yay, but please please get some wheels before a hood. those wheels are hideous (just imo). i have black headlights and gunmetal rims on my green 96 civic, and i think it looks pretty good. i'm too poor for a cf hood, but i'd get one if i had the extra $.

dont do it the lip would get busted if your car is lower

the mugen style lip is actually lower than the type-r wannabe one.

Reading is your friend. The only lips that sell for 100 are plastic. Good thing you posted this or else you would have found out after you bought it.

Ah, good call about the lips.

By the way, that isn't a recent pic. I currently have a set of 5Zigen 5ZR Copses wrapped in 215/45 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires.

Some Koni Yellows are going to be installed shortly. Already ordered. Have to stick with stock springs because since my parents drive my car sometimes, they don't want to worry about scraping, etc.

He's asking about a lip, not a cf hood.

Those lips have pretty decent clearance. As long as your car is not dumped then you should be fine. As far as the color, I think it looks really clean all one color, because it's so dark, just my opinion.

Nope, carbon fiber only looks good on hot pink, and thats it, final, end of discussion.

put your money into upgrades.. not into making your car look mismatched.
