oh. I installed the side skirts on friday, no pics tho. It's a subtle change from the OEM skirts, but I think it makes a big difference. The OEM piece has that little "M3" style twist, the mugens dont. No pics for today. Ill take some tomorrow and update then.

BTW I picked up another GE JDM Rear bumper. I dont think I need two. lol

 

Looking forward to seeing both phases done.

 

lalalala pictures please

 

nice car progress and mods... keep it up and keep us updated

the only thing i dislike about the mugen front lip is the 3 shark-teeth like fins or should i say FANGS.. thing is huge i seriously thought about shaving mine lol.

for the stock bumper, they are very tiny but it seemed like the mugen just made it look like shark fangs instead of teeth.



f i were to get that lip.. i'd paint the hideos shark teeth like fins black ...
personally it looks better IMO.

 

I agree. They are so pronounced. I initially wanted to shave them, then I realized they came pre-painted. So then we though about painting the fins black, or wrapping them in black vinyl or ?..... that didnt work because the fins come out fairly far. We thought about doing what you did in the picture, but we felt the line wouldn't look right. My last idea was to make that entire lower center section black. That's still on the table, but we'll see after I'm lowered and the kit is fully installed.

 

RS would be nice on a white car!

 

Another productive day.

We installed the skirts on Friday. Here are are the pics of the skirts and flow with the front spoiler





OK, so today we did the cargo cover. I thought it was retarded that it had that back piece with the button cap screws. I was not drilling into anything in the interior for a damn cargo cover. Solution, remove the flap! Just a couple clips.





So the mugen rear piece is pretty cool. The chrome trim pieces are actually ducts where the exhaust exits. The driver side plate is blocked off.





Because the driver side has that exit duct there, we had to cut into the OEM bumper to make it clear.



REAR INSTALLED





DEBADGED FIT EMBLEM



The kit came with 3 mugen emblems. 2 were suppose to be installed on the front fenders *gross* I just put on one the rear



AND MEMORYFAB FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Any base model guy want some OEM sport side skirts? lol

 

depends on the price, if you're willing to let them go for cheap then maybe

 

Let me see how much they are worth, then I'll let you know.

 

agreed.
they remind me of those sb's obviousley thats where they got the name for the color

 

hey... cqn u send me a pic of where the corner of the grill lines up with the bumper? I installed mine but idk if its right... i followed the directions to a T but it doesn't look right up close, but looks good like 4 feet away

 

I'm pretty sure mine looks like yours. It's not 100% flush. What we did was just make sure the gap was the same on both sides. Up close you can see it's not flush, but we did the best we could do.

 

yea... it seems as if the inner part of the grill should have been a 1/2'' longer to sit flush with the bumper

 

Coilovers got thrown out the window. I ordered the air suspension system today. :X

 

Are any other GE8's running air bags!?

 

Not that I know of in the states.

First one with the Mugen kit? I think so.

First one with air suspension? I think so.

 

first one with mugen kit AND air suspension... I think so..!

 

Keep up the pace this is fun to watch. When your done with the white GE8 how bout you come over and play buy stuff for my car?

 

Sure thing.

I think after I knock out the big stuff I'll slow down. I've been itching to get rid of this damn wheel gap.
