the car is going to be painted in near future, im having it resprayed milano red or close to that, i cant quite decide on what i want to do with the sideskirts, front lip and other black stuff.
My options are:
-paint pretty much everything red w/ oem or current skirts
-lose the skirts and put on oem ones with flaps, have lip painted black, and keep other black stuff black
-keep the skirts and have them and the lip painted black and leave other black stuff black
-other stuff just not quite sure yet (any ideas?)
if someones bored and wants to photochop em ur welcome to!

also can u tell me how off my rear camber is in the pics? i think i might have overcorrected it and havent gotten it aligned yet? jw

please comment/flame or wutever

thanks adam

Sweet! Very nice! Iwould reccomend a CTR style lip for the rear as the cars profile looks off without one. Other than that Ican't see anything wrong or offensive about it. I can't tell if your camber is off from these pics, just get it aligned @ a shop. I'd remove your front lip and side skirts before you get it aligned just to avoid scratches or *gasp* cracks. Leave everything that's black, black. It's a good colour scheme. Keep up the good work :D

do u mean this lip? ive got it but it doesnt fit because my ehaust is too big and it was a tight fit to start. do u think it would look better with the stock skirts back on and mudflaps? i cant decide. thanks for the comments

I had the same problem with my exhaust and rear lip. I used some 3M double sided tape to hold it on once I'd cut it to clear the exhaust tip. Or leave the stock sideskirts on and keep just the front lip... I hate mudflaps they look ugly IMO.

Niiiice. It's like the same color scheme I'm going with on my prelude - same wheels too. Keep the front lip and the sideskirts black - maybe put a coat of clearcoat on them. I would also recommend a "Type-R" styled rear lip - you can always trim the rear lip to fit around the exhaust.

Hey man if you decide to go with just the stock sides and f/r lips let me know if you want to sell the others.

NICE!!!!!!!! I really like the black and red combination (I have the same on my EK hatch)
I just cant get use to black rims,
just because they dont stand up as much, i guess.
I would go for something dark like bronze or something, not black though
oh!
and also i dont know if this could be done but the back sides windows have this black border things that if the can be remove... (either that or tint the them)
just my $0.10...

The car looks pretty good, but when you paint it, paint the hood.

(My opinion, but I'm an old fart so what do I know)

Car is sick dude go with a type R rear lip if you can find a carbon one go for it if not paint it black to match the front and sides. Keep everything as is but definitely get some tint so it dont look like you're in a fish bowl.....Leave the hood alone dude it goes with the scheme of things the black and red.....Thanks for putting a credible Honda out there and not ricin the damn thing out....PeAce OH also get a motor in that thing dude looks to good to be slow!
