Well guys, I finally got most of my stuff done, but I'd consider myself in "beta" mode as I still got a handful of parts to install. Anyways, here are two teaser pics before I go and give her a bath then go out for decent pics tomorrow

Looking forward to see the painted fogs on the VBP

Illusive · #6 (**permalink**) 08-19-2007, 01:06 PM

Mannnn it just has to be a gloomy day

I'll still get her cleaned up and shined and then go out for some pics later today after I finish running my errands.

Arisenfury, I've posted some pics before with the painted fogs, highly recommend doing it, I think it looks badass when you black them out!

Illusive · #12 (**permalink**) 08-19-2007, 09:41 PM

LOL! I do! I hate it when my car is dirty for pics! Luckily for you, I couldn't resist giving her a bath and taking a few quick pics...here you go guys, Illusive 2.0 BETA!

As for items that I still need to put on:

Rear Tailgate Garnish (Waiting for 3M so I can use some hardcore adhesive so it doesn't fall)
Spoon Front Strut Bar
Cross Drilled/Slotted Front Rotors
X3E Brake Pads and Shoes (Still waiting for these buggers)
T1R Stainless Steel Brake Lines (Coming this week)
Honda Red Type R "H" Badge (Coming this week)
T1R Fender Decal (Coming this week)

I think that's it for me for this season...

body kit is raw, but i feel that you need more aggressive rims

PwRmAd · #14 (**permalink**) 08-20-2007, 01:14 AM

What lip kit is that and where did you buy it?

JDMchris.com · #15 (**permalink**) 08-20-2007, 02:27 AM

how was the fitment on the sides? I did the original test for the sides and at the time the fitment was horrible. I seen the screw in the well was it necessary?

urbnzeus · #16 (**permalink**) 08-20-2007, 04:13 AM

vbo · #17 (**permalink**) 08-20-2007, 04:41 AM

babiixgurl · #18 (**permalink**) 08-20-2007, 04:59 AM

Suzi_q · #19 (**permalink**) 08-20-2007, 05:20 AM

Alrighty, let's get started on the replies:

Raw a good thing? haha sorry I'm out of it

I will consider getting new rims in the future, but for now, my Enkei's will do unless someone wants to buy them off of me at my asking price. I like them a lot, and I think they go with my theme.

Actually it is comprised of a few different pieces from a few places. The front and rear lip were from Jesse at Speed Fiends. One of the best guys I've dealt with other than Ben and AJ. Prices are excellent. Rear fitment was excellent, no modifications were needed. The front lip required a little bit of fitting at the top, but it was easy with a dremel and sanding drum. The brackets that they come with needed to be shortened, so I cut it in half then marked off the height I wanted and JB Welded the two together.

Side Skirts and Tailgate Garnish (not shown, should be on later this week) are from HondaFitTuner.com. Good guys to deal with, but you can definitely get a better price than they show on their site. Tailgate Garnish arrived damaged, but bodyshop fixed it for me. Fitment looks to be OK. Side Skirts required some serious modifying. They were the only place that carries these skirts, so it was either this or the real Mugen ones which would have cost me an arm and a leg. Had to modify the front and rear top portion of the skirt where it meets the fender. Dremel came in handy here. Had to chop off those hook mounts. I drilled some holes on the bottom and used the factory brackets to hold it from the bottom. The factory hole at the front was also used, just made a quick square hole for the piece to fit. Rear screws were necessary otherwise the skirt would stick out at the back. Keeps it in line.

You are right, the sides fitment was terrible. Needed the screw in the well to make sure the rear flap at the top that meets the fender doesn't stick out. I'll take some pics of the parts that I had to mod and how I attached it for future reference for anyone else who wants to get these skirts. You could pay your local body shop to do it, but it isn't hard to do. Just takes some time and patience (which I surprisingly had hahaha!)

Front and Rear lip from Jesse at Speedfiends. Prices are excellent, well below other quotes I've gotten shipped to my door. Great guy too, he helped me out by marking them as gifts so that I wouldn't get taxed at the border and shipped via USPS! Highly recommended guys!!! His stuff is on here:

Honda-Tech.com: Miscellaneous and Appearance: Speedfiends Lip Sale 88-91 Civic/CRX l 92-07 Civic l 97-01 Lude l 02-06 RSX l 07 Fit l 94-01 Integra

The Side Skirts and Tailgate Garnish are from HondaFitTuner.com. Did a price match for me, was a bit difficult to get a hold of and took a while to return my e-mails, but they came through. Shipping was a pain though, I was charged at the border both times even through USPS.

Yeah it was a good fit after I spent a day or two modifying them to fit haha. Worth it though, very happy!

I'm using the smoked taillights.

Hahaha all I did was wash her at the local wand wash and used their wax at the end. I still need to do a polish and wax with my TurtleWax ICE. Hopefully I'll get some time tonight since the g/f is having a girls night out. I can't help it, it was fun hehehe! Again, thanks for the positive comments! They are my first set of rims for this car and I got them before I started my internship so I didn't have as much as I wanted to spend on the wheels. But still super happy with them, I think they go well with my car
