finally bit the bullet...
everyone says it suits my car for well, so went out on a limb

I look at it this way, it cost more then an average wheel, but with money at hand I couldn't get hold of any other set that was available,
Great investment, will be a worthwhile catch
I used some bumper stripper so i assume it was okay? Only applied one light coat using a small brush so it'll peel of the primer and the original paint. Was careful not to put on alot though because it was a china brand one my dad bought a while ago lol. Spent the other 1-2 hours sanding it with 80gritt sandpaperQuote:

Simpsons quote on a stolen honda badge "Whats the point of having a honda when you can't show it off"
if he likes it then well yeh fair enough. thought he wanted an EK9 grill for that purpose.
but then again its his car, he can do whatever he likes
my 2 HK cents is get a EK9 hood badge and remove that shiny H looking thing :)
PS. Some douchebag reverse into my car and denied it... great start to the weekend!
How bad is it Kenny?
Sent from my 7 Trophy using Board Express

i think car needs to be moar lowe
thoughts anyboodai??
keep it the way it is looks good already, pointless in going slammed look if the only thing ur gonna get in return is a yellow sticker, a fine an possible the need for a rwc again lol
How low are you dropped? Looks fine to me man, your more of a performance guy dont worry to much about stance, you have a geniune ek9 you can get away with anything lol
With my type r lip installed, i have more clearance at the front :) Besides from washing the car and buffing the lip, i chucked my oem foglight covers back on, looks helluh alot better then before. I would chuck the oem foglights back on but im to lazy to rewire it since they were cut by prev owner and usdm foggies are different to jdm ones

Coilovers in, was too low and undriveable so I raised it up higher than that. Scrubs on the inner body on sharp corners, but it's not too bad.
Were you in Frankston on Monday the 4th? I saw a white EK9 outside Toyota..Quote:

Mount the lip on from the 2 sides then use self tapered bolts and drill holes randomly and screw it in everywhere. ThTs how I did it on my ek. Hold heaps strong and harder to steal as I used 8mm 10mm 12mm hex self tappeeed. Some Philips head and flat has. Some Allen keys lol
I was thinking of that because i have mixed screws (hex type, T10,T5 etc.) but i dunno about making the holes, should see my rear bar when trying to fix up my rear lip LOL, holes everywhere if i take off the lip :(Quote:

rears are tucking, probs 2cm clearance underneath the body. haha. any lower and it'll scrape like fuuaarrrkkk. thanks though man, appreciate it.Quote:

Just had my dump redone with flex pipe to only reliaze it was worse than before, exhaust hangs too low now, hangers in wrong position, fuuuukkkkk ppl dont knw how to do exhaust any more, ive lost faith in most exhaust shops, think its time to learn to weld my own exhaust pipes,the guy rekons it was same as before, i dont belive it one bit, rekons my jap cat bak is rubbish lol
Oh thats good, good height for stance and daily hahaha. Keep us updated on what happens next :)Quote:

Oh and i about the screws or bolts that are meant to be at the bottom of the lip, i checked my cousins em1 and his got just 10mm bolts all at the bottom, no screws + clips.
The clips are what the bolts are screwing into.Quote:

Undo one and you'll see what i'm talking about. You can always ask for 2/3 clips/bolts from him for you to use.
Ohhh right right i see, could you get those universal clips from bunnings or something? If not i'm just gonna make a new hole and use hex screws lolQuote:
