cxi to ek9 exterior.

[Hellomotog]

Hey guys. kinda new to the forum.

Ive got a ek cxi. 1999 so its facelift.

just wanted to know about changing it up to look like an ek9.

I've got the ek taillights with white indicators.
type r grille in the mail.
bought some black ek9 headlights off ebay. ( yes i now know they probably don't have parkers, but no biggie i guess)
just wanted to know about the front and rear bars.

how do those lips screw on? don't really feel like buying new bars cause theres nothing wrong with mine.

i found them on ebay for about 150$ landed. are they the way to go?

not really into the whole eke spoiler thing. ( but it is growing on me)

also I'm lucky its black cause everything is already colour coded lolol

for facelift you'll only need the front and rear lips. if you buy replicas theyre installed by self tapping screws and double sided tape. oem probably has proper mounting spots and fitment will be perfect! just source out an em1 front lup cos its the same as ek9.

also is the bonnet any different?

Front and rear bars have pre-marked holes already for you to install the lip kit.

how much lower does the back one sit? will it cover the actual muffler?

also will i need to get rid of the peeshooter tip? aha

There is a difference between the type r and normal cxi bonnet,
The 2 little holes to clip the red honda badge on.

Tell us how those ebay headlights goes cause im thinking about them too.

Will do. Can u just chop those legs on the badge and stick it.on with the adhesive?

Yeah basically.
If i remember correctly the badge sits 13mm above from the middle/bottom of the hood.
