i talked to someone here with probably one of the nicest EF's with the SiR front end...and it looked amazing but my question is...i know the SiR front end takes care of the front end of the car but what have you guys done to the side and rear or the car to give it that extra look to it?...

The OEM EF sideskirts are hard and very expensive to come by.

Retrofit EG or EK sideskirts. Easy to do and cheap.

Better yet, retrofit 90-93 Accord sideskirts. They look a little more era- accurate than the newer Civic ones. They're ~77" long. My sedan is about ~71" long...so you just trim off the excess and cap it back off.

For the rear, you can mold an Si front lip on it. There's a few thread on it.

That completes the look all the way around

the mugen style kit did not look too bad when i had it on my hatch (it actually came with the hatch when i bought it), but i've gone the way of the SiR now.

MUGEN... ?!~`... ok , lets get something straight, we are talking about the Wings West Body kit right?, the Mugen replica???.. not the actual mugen kit?..


Go SIR...


Question for SIR heads...

Does the SIR front bumper fit correctly on USDM civics w/out getting full conversion.. IE.. Headlights, SIR bumper filler, fenders, hood.


I was actually thinking of buying some SIR bumper lights, and custom fitting them into a kit that came on the project i'm working on now.

You need to do the full conversion (hood lights front bumper). The front bumper alone will not do.

that is the natural color of it...plastic type finish.
it never got painted.




edit: as far as i know, there are 2 types of wings west kits (same exact kit yet different build material. urethane and fiberglass. the one on my car was urethane.
