Default No more carbon fiber body kit

So I took off the body kit :D I'm sure you all still hate it hahaha...anyway

The kit left a ton of scratches, as you can see in the pics. I recently used some touch up paint, it hid most of the scratches pretty good for now...I didn't take pics of that.

anyway, the pics






This was how it looked before for those that don't know...or don't care



I hope to get a ctr kit and have it look like this: It's photochopped with the cf mugen wing painted to match and the rims on the car

I don't think that kit looked half bad except for the off color. Have you thought of just painting that one?

edit : beat me to it

That kit before actually looks nice. I like it, just paint it to match your car. Just because people say they don't like it doesn't mean you have to jump in the bandwagon and go JDM style.

thanks guys. I never took it off because of what others said...it's mainly because the lip kit hanged sooo damn low and caused me to scrape a lot around where I live. So I couldn't take it anymore...drove me nuts :D

as for the usdm ctr kit, I think that will work great because it barely hangs low...especially the front.

Thanks again

lol, no. The kit is up for sale...not putting it back on. As for the rims...what size would you recommend? 18's :D hahahaa, I like the 15's, they grip well with the 15X7 rim and 225/50 tires. Performance is awsome now, can't wait to install my jackson racing supercharger on this saturday. The biggest I'd go is 16's probably some c8's

LOL....like I said, the kit is for sale...it's not going back on, hence it won't be painted. I'm probably going to paint the wing and get the ctr kit


nice avatar oki :D

Man I can't beleive you took something off your car because of what a bunch of computer geeks online told you. **** what others think its your car all these guys on this site want is a stock honda with black 15inch rota wheels. I say put it back on and do whatever you want with your car.

dude, are you high? LOL, I didn't take it off because of what others think...in fact I've taken this kit off before...twice. I just couldn't make up my mind. I TOOK IT OFF BECAUSE IT IS TOOOOOOO LOW TO THE GROUND AND SCRAPES...DRIVES ME CRAZY....READ ALL REPLIES. I AM SELLING IT. I WILL DO WHAT I WANT TO MY CAR, DON'T CAR WHAT OTHER'S THINK.


What is it about me that people think that I care what others think...first it's "I care what others think because I post pics of my ride with my "riced out kit""

Now it's "I care what others think and took it off"

****, I just can't win here? God damn, you people are killing me...here's what I do care about...I care about people telling me what I care about! ****! **** **** **** **** **** ****.

I don't car what people care about my damn kit. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I feel better now
