Fresh from the shop! Front bumper got redone everywhich way. Gashes from last week's accident are gone, as well as the scratch in the middle from the license plate holder and even the scrapes on the bottom of the bumper from the previous owner.

In dire need of a new lip, lol. Tryna decide weather to get a new DIY lip, or the STi s204 lip. The s204 will definitely be alright for a while but when I get lower.. that's another story

Also just fixed the spring clicking sound by greasing the top mounts and perches where the springs make contact. The sounds disappeared; will see how long it lasts-- if it doesn't last long, Imma either put the oem bearings in or get me some thrust bearings. Easy and cheap fix though so I'm satisfied!

 

How much did it cost to fix the bumper?

 

my friend paints in fresno lemme knw

 

Which shop Jerry?

 

off the 41 its a scrap yard y u need work done text me

 

It was $500 to redo the whole bumper: strip, sand, paint, clear, and buff. Really nice people where I got it done. And on top of that, they took it yesterday without appointment and finished this morning; don't know if I happened to come in at the perfect time but still haha. The other shop I went to before this told me it would take them 3 days to only feather out the bumper.

 

Nice. I want to repaint my car.

 

Cool rides

 

Fasho; I kinda wish they did my side mirror and side skirt that are kinda banged up-- then she'd practically look immaculate haha. All the knicks are gone from ricks and all that from the front; gooood feeling starting fresh.

Salamat bro haha

 

Still waiting on tires; had to raise her up a bit for summer: haulin' friends everywhere haha.

Took off the horrible home depot lip and put a hard rubber one--
I liked the trending STi but I'm pretty sure it will only last 'til I get new tires and go lower so I stuck with the trusty rubber lip. Cleaned up the front real well.

This lip is ready for war LOL.


You can already see scrape-age on the sides coming off of the driveways here; It's inevitable-- oh well. Can't notice it unless you look under.


Near future plans.. thinkin' about getting some quilted Clazzio's to make the ride a bit more comfy

 

I want that emblem

 

Just went through the whole thread, nice progress

 

I've seen a navy civic with it-- looks killer too! You should! Won't look as agressive as red though, unless you're goin' for that now haha. GrafiXpressions got a ton of colors-- even metallic ones.

The time you took to look is much appreciated! Thanks bro!

 

on ebay?........

 

Nah bruh, right here. I got the 9th gen sedan overlays which fit perfectly over my emblems.

 

The friend of mine with the accord wanted to see what 17's would look on his car so we switched wheels-- all black looked good on his with how his ride's turning out(we cf vinyl'd his hood and roof).

Here's what happened when we put his wheels on mine haha.
15x8 +15 wrapped in 195/50's. 15's started to grow on me because of this haha but I have a feeling 17's would still look best with 205/40 or 195/40 because I'm not so fond of the meaty tires.
Because of the fender pull, I think I'd be able to lower the car an inch more without much issues but I wasn't able to try.

 

Finally got a duckbill spoiler haha took a while to get it, Seibon actually took a week to find it in their warehouse.. probably gathering dust at the very back or something lol. I can't get enough of it now-- I always liked it more than the JDP counterpart that was a bit more aggressive for my taste. Anywho, yup! installation was sort of a breeze, had a little snag on one side-- had to drill the hole a little wider to compensate for my wrong measurement but all good!

Now that I've got that off my list, starting to think of getting a new head unit-- touch screen hopefully because I'm sick of using the stock unit to scroll through artists/songs on the iPod

Oh, and she's sittin' much higher than before-- rubbing issues. Don't know if you can see through the pic but 2 tires are close to bald so once I get new ones she'll be goin' lower

 

Sorry for the old thread wakeup but when you got rid of the Home depot lip what are you using now that is harder? And where did you get it?

 

Wow, that metallic color looks absolutely awesome..loved your ride and great pics..thanks for sharing

 

All good bro! I got a "Rhino Lip" from Ebay. The specific one I got is right here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Erebuni-Front-Universal-Chin-Lip-Splitter-Spoiler-Trim-/220819487413?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3369ddfab5&vxp=mtr If you keep in contact with them, they could send you some hardware too.

It's muuch more sturdier than the HD Lip-- though my Rhino Lip has already shown some damage somewhat because I'm lowered more than I was with the HD Lip. I can't complain haha it takes a beating

Much appreciated! Thanks for lookin'
