howy are they original cf spoiler? mine is replica and need suggestion... should I make it looks like a cf (e.g. with vynil sticker)?Quote:

Depends what colour your car is, eg. if it's white or a lighter colour then go for the cf look coz I reckon there's a better contrast. But if you've got a black or a darker colour you might consider something else.
mine is bluish silver. a mate tells me that I should go for the CF looks vinyl. but somehow I still find it too "try hard"
yes! it was you...nice HID's:thumbsup: i live round there i drove right past u...i was going to communicate to you somehow but i just didnt know...if only there was a "hi im from ozhonda:honda:" sign...:(Quote:

Back to the topic guys. Here my mod for this week. Courtesy of http://www.grafixpressions.com/ cost US$12 and as you can see the cut is perfect that you can just stick it on top of the Black logo. Took me 5 mins each centre cap to best align it and is almost dry now :thumbsup:
yay! after waiting for a month, my FD2 just got delivered today!

-FYI - Type-R airbag sold - Funds will go to new BBK :p
B pillar - USDM MUGEN CF
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...a/DSCF2519.jpg
i want that B pillar carbon...thats hot...will it fit if i have mugen wind visor?what is that badge at the sterring wheel dmx?btw, rk 86 wa...ur car si f****n HOT!
DMX -
Where did you get the MUGEN floor mats?
OEM Civic mats are dissapointing, wear and tear already
LOLZ!!!!so tru...i thot it was my driving style thats making it dodgy after a short while...gessing not..
how is it getting wrecked? ive had it for over a year and it is still in perfect condition :O.
mine started to wear out around the heel area when you pivot to accelerate to brake (vice versa). Thats my driving style. I ended up putting a small piece of matt on top to prevent from wearing out.
Frost_FD - h3n is my frens car..nice huh!
rk_86_wa - yeah it is..thnx for ur feedback 2 david..i took the kit there 2day and i'll let u know..thnx for ur advise through david...
i think we should organise a meetup sometime...are u guys going to the autosalon??..

BTW, your side skirts looks a bit low there. The height of the skirt should be level with the base of your door. Looks like theres a 1.5" gap whereas mine has about 3/4". Im gonna try to install mine higher this weekend.
frost - dun know h3n personally but he has a nice looking car, but get ur kit fitted and shoot me a pm :)
yah side skirt is a bit lower because they matched it with the front lip height and rear lip height lol
really? My one is lower than front and rear. LOL, gotta love replicas
LOL..:thumbsup:Quote:

I think i might check after work today if my skirts are lower then front and back.
Lower looks alot better, but getting over those humps must be scary
Judging by my picture it looks hiogh compared to others.
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/c...D/CIMG0730.jpg
Frost: yours looks fine. But still kinda hard to tell. This is the look i am after (level with the base of the door).
I think the reason why some are installed too low is because they use the brackets for the base of the skirt. This basically restricts the height. Ive asked some FD owners whos kit sits flush how this is possible and they say they dont use the brackets, just 3m tape and the front/rear screws.
you can get the kit to sit flush, but mine was a little bit tight, can fix it easily by just cutting away a bit of the inside of the kit so it fits in snug
i just wondering anyone know wher to get the mugen grill in sydney
and other kits n accesories ??, ill start browsing around this weeknd
Im selling my grill if your interested.
Im not b putting it on as i want the chrome on the OEM one to match my wheels.
i prefer sydney, so i can pick upQuote:

the base of ur door should be level with the top part of the side skirt. Yours looks pretty level. Kinda hard to see since its all black
hmm. door base level with top skirt ... seems impossible. mine still have, let say 0.2-0.3 cm, otherwise, everytime u open the door, it will touch the skirt, am i right ?:confused:Quote:

i should install it when i removed my type-r airbag :(
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...a/DSCF2280.jpg
bonus :p
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...a/DSCF2534.jpg
DMX: Well as close as possible ofcourse. But currently mine is atleast 3/4".
RR badge looks sexy. Google time :P
Order 4 civic door handle chrome (cover) from this seller, and he sent me 2 door handle covers with keyholes and 2 without the keyholes....... (not his mistake but his supplier refused to refund the money). . . . . thought ALL AUSSIE stock civic only has one keyhole in driver's door..... or mine is the only one in aus that has only one keyhole. . . .Quote:

LOL.. i saw ur handle when i picked up my CF dash. but i didn't notice have 1 or 2 holes. anyway, there's plenty from ebay, not every parts are cheap from drm but well, some parts are hardly to find at the market. sometimes he asking me to sell some stuff which i think not really good stuff, i just said, no, just make me disgraceful:(Quote:

dmx: what rims have you got on now? Are those 18s? did you sell your nkb elite 8?
heya guys..looking @ rk_86_wa's kit install..against others..even though there might be a smaller gap..i think it makes the whole kit alot nicer..as it sits lower...but overall..as long as the bottom of the front, side and rear kit sits in line..it should be ok..thoughts?
skyt7e told me that ur car is really low!!! sounds good! wat coilovers do u have installed?
i have also decided not to install my mugen replica grille..its currently primered but not painted.. im in perth if anyone is interested..PM me =)

Hey for those who have the mugen rear wing, does it obstruct vision at all?
well hard to say cos it depends on how tall u are. Ofcourse the top part of wing will be in the way. But you get used to it
Yeah it does, but during daylight hourse theres plently of light to see whats behind you. Though at night the spoiler can be in that right position to block the headlights of cars behind you for a second, but yeah, you get used to it.Quote:

At night it partially blocks the view of the headlights which i reckon is a good thing, it's easier for you to drive and not have a blinding light in your rear view mirror.
yeah the non-blinding atribute sounds heaps good...ur wing is heaps cool...thats right everybody ive seen it...castle cove 4 lifeQuote:
