All I can say is if you lower a CU2, stay of rural "B" class roads. Many times I have scraped the plastic wind deflectors located in front of the front wheels & thats with standard height suspension

oh is that wat they are? u mean that long mud guard looking piece of rubber behind the front lip? i scrape that bugger 2 times a month. mainly driving over bumps too fast. shit myself everytime because of the scary sound it makes "oh shit i just scraped my lip". i go out and check and the car is fine lol.Quote:

I got scrapage on my front bumper underneath....
omg dude, i feel your pain, my scrape is on the right hand side under neath the bumper, my drive way is too un-even, and on a stock suspension managed to scrape it...Quote:

The rear of my car is scraped :( Can't conquer that mounties speed hump and driveway and mine's not even lowered.
I always enter my driveway on a slight angle to the driveway and at a slow pace otherwise I hear the awful and painful sound of scrapage! It's mainly that plastic wind deflector/guard thing that scrapes. Don't even want to know what it would be like if it was lowered
i think i'm gonna have to call you a God for all that, THANK YOU mr. furythree!Quote:

But now that i got a Black CU2, i was wondering is it possible?
What Size Badges do i Need to replace em, and is it possible to de-badge the silver H badge off the stock Grille on the CU2 (3 Silver Bars Grille)?
If someone gets any info please post it up, or pm me please. And i will experiment and post photos up.
Thanks Everyone.
Simon.
would love to see jdm'ed CU2! DO it euroRwannabe!
lol i thought this would be usefull to someone since there are so many "where can i get mugen for cu2...omfg its so expensive" threadsQuote:

my mates dad works for honda. he tried to get me some free badges but apparently he said that they didnt have any red ones for cu2. and i know the sizes are a bit different.Quote:

in terms of removing them, theyre attatched via tape (so use heatgun) and the antitheft clips. so i think u need to access it by removing the grill and behind the bootlid
hmmm, very tempting to "JDM my CU2" but still not enough information to do it...
need to know which size Red 'H' Badge i need to order in from JDM yard/concept.
"Size" meaning, which red badge will fit on the CU2 eg. (Wild Guess): EP3 Civic Type R Badge (Front) and Integra DC5 Type R Badge (Rear)
don't mean to be selfish or anything, but i'll only do it if someone else does it first, don't wanna waste my money by ordering in the wrong badges..
The Mugen replica is very rare to get. I think no one even make the mugen replica for cu2. Last time the Mugen grill already cost me alot. also you have to cut the original grill to take the mounting out of it... lolz better get PU bodykit. I think it looks alright heheh accept for the rear lips :((
have u even read my post 2 pages backQuote:

so in the upcoming weeks ill get it painted and fitted but its actually really good quality and really good fitment...
while i was picking up the kit he showed me his mugen grill hes got up on ebay for sale...
its actually not too bad. Personally not my sort of thing but its defs unique
not bad for $200
heres the link
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Honda-Accord-...item1e5c635bd2
btw anyone know any good paintshops in brissie?
thanks for the link nesterjester.
I noticed that is his other listing, there is a white accord with a horizontal strips like grill, does anyone know who makes this grill? or is it a custom job from the OEM grill?
here is the link : http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....MakeTrack=true
I think it's just the OEM grill with the middle section cut out and painted.
yes, i think you are right. i got a white Euro myself too, that grill looks great in white, but i do prefer to keep the honda badge, maybe las mentioned in previous replies, if i can fin a red badge to sit in the middle of that custom grill, that will look even better i think... lets do some searching....
i got no time to read the previous post lolz.Quote:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290444721472

hey nester how much did u pay for it? when i linked it to his ebay listing last time he was charging $990 but with 10% offQuote:

u cudve saved a fair bit just importing it. like $400
also as an FYI guys, if u like that grille he's selling, and if thats the only mod u want to get. then get it from paul because i think shipping + grill is going to be more than $200 so its simpler and cheaper.
however if u intend to buy from the suppliers, i think they bundle in the grill into the shipping, so ur only paying $90 for the grill and prob $10 difference in shipping, shipped DHL to ur door
the only reason i didnt get it is cause i prefer a matte finish for carbon fiber (or a glossy one with very bright silver CF) using vinyl will just ruin the fact that its ACTUALLY CF. also the border around the edges is black, my euro is grey so the white strip we have around the grill looks really awesome.
But thats something a little paint could always fix. plus i adore the oem grill, the mugen grill is really just a wider (vertically) version of the acura grill in CF and mugen badged really
type S kit look so much better... did Paul also have this kit on stock i migh get it from him... :) look gorgeous
Yeh thats the same as the russian custom grille. You can DIY by cutting the middle section of ur oem one and painting it. but i admit the white is damn niceQuote:

the funny thing is when i went to compare it to the oem sizing, its actually different. i think its actually custom grille. cept i cant find itQuote:

Wow if it really is custom made then they went to some great length doing it very similarly to OEM! Noticed they love their mesh in Russia.
I'm guessing that bonnet just has a bonnet protector like those Civic ones but in white? Russians are definitely ahead in modifying CU2's.
Cheers furythree just realize I uploaded the pics of the mugen rear lip no the type s
I actually got the kit cheap cos he put the kit as an auction for $500 so I was pretty lucky as I picked it ip as well
I will defs post up pics when I get it painted n fitted
I just noticed that that grille is just a modified version of the oem grille
not too sure how good it would look on cbp
but do recommend going through Paul he has quit a few still in stock n all are in packaging
haven't had much to do with PU bodykits and I mist say they r definately got some flex to it
I personally don't mind the type s rear lip
it's agressive and it's unique
cant wait to see ur bodykit mate heheh all the best with it :) this is the difference between paul grill and mugen grill :)
omg he has an auction? i cud only find the buy it nowQuote:

ok nesterjester, I think i'm gonna have to call you my new best friend, HOW THE HELL DO YOU FIND THESE THINGS!?Quote:

Now keep in mind that i own a Black CU2.
My plans are either getting the Modulo Grille (Image stolen from Google because the JDM Concept website crashed, couldn't post up the part link from there, apologies if the car belongs to you): http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/...giDQ/front.JPG
and chucking the JDM Red 'H' Badge on that. (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=290444721472)
OR
gonna do some of my own experiments on the OEM Grille, that is, re-paint the entire grille black (3 silver bars), de-badge the silver 'H' badge some how, and putting the JDM Red 'H' Badge on there.
Hopefully that all works out.
But still going to take a while, Need some CASH!
I am only 18, first year uni and job-less, :(
lol fury, it's a replacement piece which covers the signature amber/orange indicators of the CU2, notice how it's all white.Quote:

nesterjester, i've noticed that you've said "CBP" in alot of your posts, sorry for this noob post, but what exactly is a CBP LOL!?

omg nester those fotos of the volcanic grey mugen makes me want to buyyy thee WINGGGGG!!!! >< oh well just paid for my kit yesterday no going back now.
when i win lotto ill pay the $400 for the wing lolz

Better go and ask your local friendly parts/dealers quickly for a cheap deal!!!
hey denot, from what i see on your avatar image, it looks like your three silver bars on your OEM grill is black, did you do that yourself, or did you buy it from somewhere.Quote:

does anyone know how much it costs to get bodykits painted? and where i might go to get it done? i have a family friend who can install but he doesnt paint
furythree to paint your body kits every shop have different price range estimate price around $1200- $1800. Also depending how big is your body kits. Make sure you search around before you painted. cheap price mean shit job hehehe. You get what you paid for... :p
Does anyone looking to buy eibach pro kit spring? for Accord Euro 09-10 :)
hey guys, a random performance question.
alot of my friends have been getting mufflers onto their cars.
they all have single outlet exhuasts (R34 Skylines, EK1 Civic, EP3 Civic, Prelude etc.)
whereas we CU2's have dual outlet exhausts.
If i were to buy a universal bolt on muffler for the CU2 just for a nice sounding deep roar, would i have to order two of the same muffler since the CU2 has two outlets,
or i have the COMPLETE wrong idea LOL.
did someone say ... double din?
http://s2.images.drive2.ru/car.photo...ef80-large.jpg
Nah, get two different ones! :pQuote:

Where are you guys getting it from? USA ebay?
Just double checking, the part number is 33-2430
It would be very interesting to see how noisy that system is. Hopefully a sound clip can be added in the future. Personally i can't see there would be much to gain performance wise.Quote:

Your not wrong euroR, lets call it 1900 bucks for a tiny gain above 4000RPM. Very little time is spent at those revs unless your at a track day.
LOL Buddah, I told you mate is not my decision this time... :p She still thinking between 2009 A6 or 2010 C200 :( Ah man... I hate European cars...Quote:
