Very nice. A like it much better. Lip looks great painted, much better without the wing, and the CF/paint is kinda a cool touch.

Nice work. :D

oofrost 06-16-2003 02:31 PM

I dont like what you did to the hood, but looks better without the wing.

skot 06-16-2003 02:34 PM

nice.. i much better.. painted lip looks good and the painted cf hood adds a bit of flava, nice touch.

Soulja 06-16-2003 03:12 PM

The reason I did tht with the hood, was I was tired of people asking if I have a primered junkard hood. I saw that done oncem and liked it. If you look at it closely, it goes right along the ridge line of the hood.

aux 06-16-2003 03:19 PM

its ALLL good :goodjob:

Matt86 06-16-2003 03:20 PM

Wao... i love your car man. Looks a whole lot better without that spoiler too. Great job so far :thumbup:

crucial Si 06-16-2003 03:23 PM

looks good..have you ever thought about getting darker headlights?

carta79 06-16-2003 03:33 PM

So fresh and so clean,clean. :thumbup: The hood is different and different is all good in my book. Darker headlights would definetly look with the hood.

I Like JDM 06-16-2003 04:02 PM

I would paint the whole hood white..looks funny.

Soulja 06-16-2003 05:59 PM

The headlights were one of the first things I did to the car, Opened them up, cleared them, and painted them the same color as the car. I have to open them up again to remove the strobe lights, and have been thinking about painting them either gunmetal or black.

Dr. Reef 06-16-2003 07:38 PM

I LOOOOVE the new hood!

whoaitslen2 06-16-2003 07:43 PM

looks better :thumbup:

Ummm.... That's a front lip on his [soulja's] ride. And if you're talking about oofrost's car, then specify it.

Soulja 06-16-2003 08:45 PM

yes, thats my 2001 bumper with a lip. Had to modify the lip to get it to fit though.

99accord520 06-16-2003 09:00 PM

hahha .. looks like my hood.. nice..

How'd you have to modify it. I cant decide between OEM lip, or mugen for my 99. I'm just scared about the fitment of the mugen, but I think I do like it better.

BTW: your car looks great now! The lip looks much better painted IMO, and the wingless always looks sexy.

Soulja 06-17-2003 07:28 AM

because the 98-00 front bumpers are different than the 01-02's. I had to cut about 4 inches off each side where the lip wouldve rested in the grill of the earlier bumper.

decibel_dj 06-17-2003 07:32 AM

looks alot better the wing was the big killa before. not totally feeling the painted/cf combo on the hood (looks good sometimes but not all the time)

green2dr 06-17-2003 07:42 AM

Looks good, keep it up!
Lip looks good painted

Fryd_Up 06-17-2003 08:09 AM

I'm diggin the hood. car looks really nice! what rims you got?

So it should fit no problem on my 99 right?

Vast improvment! Good thing you hunted down that whale tail and chopped it off.

Ferio Man 06-17-2003 02:27 PM

looks good man :)

Good idea, I think the darkened headlight housings would look great, more-so because of how your hood is painted.

AcuraFanatic 06-17-2003 07:28 PM

Looks good. The Coupe needs a spoiler to look nice IMO though, you might want to try to find an OEM spoiler.

Looks 100% better though, great job! :)

yup, may be a midwing would do, just a lil bit taller than the oem, NOT the 3 pieces

adslinstaller 06-18-2003 06:16 PM

It looks much better w/out the wing. I hate wings. In fact, I have a pact w/ everybody I know that if they see me with one of them on my car, they have my permission to rip it off & beat me to w/in an inch of my life w/ it!!!

adslinstaller 06-18-2003 06:20 PM
