Default Ground effects 1998 Civic 4 door








Installed the new lips and painted oem sideskirts. Now the porcupine damage is coverered up on the front
I ran out of time to put in my Type R grill, but I should get it done tomorrow.
I'm also working on adjusting the rear lip. It's a little off still, but it was much worse earlier. It needs a lot of different braces to keep it in place.
Overall I'm VERY happy with the results. I just wish my front bumper would be repainted so everything matched better.

Ahahaha, I was laughing when I saw the title. Not flaming, but I haven't heard that term in so long. Although I used to say it myself, along with "woofer box" ahahaha

I dont think any of it really flows well, maybe its just that the whites dont match.

the front doesn't match 100% because the oem bumper is fairly beat up. the sides and rear are fairly close.
thx for the comments

a few finished pictures:


the grill does have black mesh in it, you just can't see it in the pictures.
and the taillights aren't as dark as they look. they let out pretty good light, too. it was a pain to find red bulbs tho.
again, thx for the kind words

the red contrast killed it.i also tossed the emblem.

i understand people have difference tastes, but i really think the whole black and white theme works well.

got beans?

Not too bad, but I'd never put that kit on a car I owned. i'd score some side skirts if I were you, it'll help even out the lines.

EDIT: Just saw the tails...
