Here are some better pics of the EP3 in our showroom....

Here is the rear shot


Front shot, a Front Mount would look great in there


Overall Money shot


Side shot, the best I could get to see the drop...The flash actually helped show the fender lines. We are finishing a Silver one, it will show the drop better


As for the price..............It stickers over 24,000 now....

 

I'd rock the suspension, wheels, sideskirts and wing, but not the front and rear.

I hate it how the front and rear lips overlap the bumper. It looks out of place - like it doesn't belong on the car.

 

Ain't that the truth...everytime I see that HFP kit, it always looks like someone just got a body kit of another car and then used a dremel to make it fit.

I don't know why Honda just didn't try to clean it up a little by shifting that excess plastic down so that it doesn't come right smack dab up to the amber side marker. Looks like something they threw together to try and generate the lackluster EP sales (wonder if it'll actually work..not if they think they can get $24k for it). They could have just made the whole thing a lip and then tapered those center piller things on the grill to meet the top of the stock bumper (or just left them off completely which would look just as good). On the lighter color EPs the hfp bumper makes the car look like it has a mustache or some wierd facial hair design.

The rear isn't as bad, but it still looks like someone carved it out of another kit and slapped it on the EP. Just looks kind of weird because the sides slope up towards the side reflectors...seems kind of unneccessary.

Also the sideskirts don't look all that good (not as bad as the rest of the kit), if someone would care to notice the front portion doesn't go that high up on the CTR sides, that one just looks like someone was putting a model together and forgot to trim off some of the plastic. I guess they just had to make the side skirts line up with the front peice.

I'd rock the wing, wheels (assuming I had the 5 lug) and suspension.

Nice pics btw

 

..$24,000 That's Type S territory

 

That front loosk alright.. the wheels don't look horrible.. but 24 grand can make any civic ugly..

Damn Skippy, I got my "S" for 20,014.00 but had good equity with my trade in...

In reference to them copying another kit, you ought to see the rear of the 2004 S2K, it screams Vielside all the way...
Not meaning to change the subject but look at the rear end...

 

The new lights on the EP3's look nastsy, but maybe thats just me.

 

I like them, I wish they had made the chrome portion like a JDM kind of black chrome though...maybe somebody will do that on their own

 

I personally like the HFP kit. I think it looks better than the Type R kit IMO. Looks good The 04 lights (front&rear) are kinda...weird.

 

these new chassis are looking insane

 

geez over 24k for that thing? blahz!

 

It's not worth it~ Why don't they just sell the body kit separately? I want the spoiler!

 

taillights and healights are fugly. 5 lug is cool. still not worth $24,000 for a civic though.

 

not worth it...i hate those taillights and 24k is way too much
