Dang, I really really like the way the rear lip and side skirts look, but it seems they're only available in CF. Do they make these in ABS?

no chance the bumper are different you would need to find a JDM bumper to run that lip and then you would have to find the lip which would be the hardest part that lip is very old

Nice little write-up. I might have to steal some of your DIY when I get my porter cable. 6000 miles and I notice swirls already...disgusting.

Dont feel bad, just go to your local dealer showroom and check out those cars. They havent even been on the road and are swirled to hell. Swirls happen when you wash your car incorrectly.

Hmm shame..out of all the rear bumper/lip combos I've seen that one looks the best imo. It's subtle, yet agressive.. I saw seibon makes it in CF or at least it look slike that one, but didn't know I had to get a jdm bumper in order to mount the lip. thanks mang.

Really an inevitability. As my daily driver year-round--note location--and add to that I don't own a garage, I think it has lasted pretty long. Just need to get a buffer and I'll be fine.

Damn...looks NICE!

I bet if you flew to Chicago for a weekend, you'd get a fair amount of business. With all the road construction and salt and snow brushes causing the swirls/scratches/etc...

I know I'd be first in line

Swirls are very inevitable. No matter what kind of paint. I don't see why you would think that driving your car everyday or parking it outside will cause swirls. Swirls are microscopic scratches caused by improper washing technique such as using only one bucket or an old mitt. And if you live in a place that sees harsh conditions I admit it is harder to prevent swirls but your best bet would be to buy a foam gun and foam the entire car down for about 10 minutes before you wash it. That way you get most of the big particles of dirt and grime off without even touching your car. Always use 2 buckets, a grit guard, different lambswool mitts for the car and wheels, and only microfiber or waffle weave towels.
