My CU2 has got a new bumper....

*jaw drops* THAT'S SO HOT!!!

Full Geniune Kit??? How much did that set you back altogether mate??? :O

Does anyone know if the OEM Modulo rear bar will fit with stock mounting or some modifications has to be done to get it fitted to the car?
and if they come with sensor holes pre-drilled?

reversed into a short metal rod jutting out of the kerb today and scratched my bar...Time for a modulo bar instead!

As far as I know they should fit with the stock mounting, coz it's just a cu2 bumper with a "modified" look :P. Not too sure though. As for the sensor holes -> probably best to ask the dealer to throw it in and drill it in for you coz I've heard getting the drill bit for the sensors isn't cheap.

I'm also planning to replace my rear bar/get it fully repaired...haven't been bothered going back to the guy who touched it up (and did an extremely poor job). How much was your quote for a modulo bar? I don't mind getting that instead of the Mugen rear (as they're quite similar I think)

yea...might need to get them to drill the holes..coz they should have the template in hand to do a perfect line instead of me trying to get a proper position by guessing! HAHA

got quoted $817 + 10% GST for the bar...painted as well. i think it can be a DIY install..
dont know if they will take the old bar as trade in!
AHHAAH...damn man! freaking scratch costs me alot today ! grrrrr....thats the disadvantage for being anal with a perfect paint!
its actually not that bad but i will be having nightmares if its not fixed

as for comparison with Mugen lip kit, i think the modulo looks fatter...and it blends really well witht he Mugen front bar... (NOT THE LIP KIT)

the front bar will be next purchase...prolly in a few dinasour years time

Hahaha!! yeah mate I know that exact same feeling, it was worse for me coz all 3 incidents were hit and runs...damn dodgy car parks...I'm also a bit anal when it comes to perfection, I was spewin' for a few days after the first one...then again for the next 2 damages lol >_<

$817 isn't too bad! Trading in the old bar wouldn't be a bad idea, I'll ask my dealer too if I do end up going with the modulo bar :P. I reckon it will look good with the Mugen lip front (the one in my avatar pic), as it's a bit more aggressive looking than the front bar.

I really like how the Mugen bar has that horizontal "wing" piece across the bottom of the bar...
and the corners are jutting out a little making it look square'ish...and the Modulo has the same thing as well making them a match made in heaven..

i think Sanyuh has similar set up... Modulo rear, Mugen Front

You have a point, but the Mugen kit pieces are totally out of my price range

Thank you, EuroRwannade. We will meet each other in one day. I just bought hood scoop pair on eBay and stuck on the bonnet.

Oh my effin god! THat looks so hot!

can u give me the ebay link for the the hood scoop

also, where did u get the red Honda badge? been looking for one that fits

How much did the rims cost you? where are u sourcing ur stuff from? and what springs are u using to lower ur car?


in Otherrrrr news. my mugen+type S lip kit finally arrived (bout fkn time!)
i need to find a place to install it and paint it. Anybody know anywhere in sydney that does it for cheaaaapppp? i dont really care about paint matching cause i actually reckon different shades wud make it stand out, since my car is grey. My mechanic friend kinda bailed on me last minute

*edit*
actually reading back a few pages, i noticed u guys talking about springs. Which ones do you guys reccommend and which are the cheapest? I dont get what the deal is with the camber business? why is a wheel realignment neccessary? sounds troublesome, i thought springs were a simple business.

sanyah: I would also like to know where you're sourcing from (if you don't mind :P).

About friggin time fury! Geez, it's been what? 3 months+??

As for the springs: there has been a range of different types of springs that have been used by fellow CU2 drivers. Here are the price comparisons for the 4 brands that are most common for CU2s (ordered by price via eBay):

TEIN: $320.31 USD - about $334.43 AUD (inc. Express Shipping)
Eibach: $332.30USD - about $346.95AUD (inc. Priority Shipping - whatever that is)
SKUNK2: $341.99USD - about $357.06AUD (inc. Standard Shipping)
H&R: $396.05USD - about $413.50AUD (inc. Priority Shipping )

Note: Please correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm not exactly sure what the difference in the brands are though, haven't read into springs that much myself. Hope this helps!
