Have you thought about changing the order of your build up to lowering, then wheels/tires, then kit? Just a thought. I think that your car would have more of a visual impact if you lower and then get the wheels and tires (which you could do sooner) rather than buying an unpainted kit then waiting a while before you get it painted.

Plus with this order, it gives you more time to think about if you really want a set of lips of a full blown kit. This would hold true once you start driving the car around with it's new lowered stance. You have to remember that you're lowering your car about 2". Add to that, when you get the buddy club kit, this would "lower" the car even more. I mean that the kit hangs lower than your typical OEM bumper. How you drive is going to dramatically change if you want to keep the kit intact.

Well, I still dont know. I mean sure i might just get the lip and call it a day why ? because its only about 100$, you dont need to paint it, and it looks good with the CF hood. And just another question, can i paint the stock side skirts green to match the car? there black and there plastic. Thanks again!

Well if the stock side skirts on a Sol is held the same way on the Civic, then what you need to do is remove the screws that hold them up in front (the same screws you'd use if you have the front splash guards). Then you got to pop them out by pushing the skirt forward and outward. Then you'd prep and paint the skirt as you would any other part...

That depends on the shop. Could be anywhere from 100-300 bucks.

Why not make a different thread about the shocks and coils that way people dont think youre still talking about the same subject :thinking:

But from what I know, dropzone isnt that good of a brand. It gives you a really bouncy feel.
