I took off the Front and rear lip to give my GD3 a shorter and rounded look. Kinda rippin' the JDM / Spoon look. I kept the sidemarkers because it cleans up the lines from the wheels to the middle and back. I like the high rear and rounded front nose.

Here's the break down. More to come.

I'd remove side skirts too, if you're committed to this look.

Though what about the holes in the bumpers left by the lips?

 

Was thinking about the sideskirts but then the car would look "high" in the middle. But I do like how it would tuck under and appear smaller if I do take them off. I would have to lower the car some more to clean up the middle then... Not really want to ride too low.

The holes...You can see them in the pic can't cha'? I don't really care that they are there, I just taped the inside..maybe fix this later down the line...it helps that my car is dark.

my 08 has 183K miles and Kelly Blue book estimates a 3K car.... I'm having fun and don't care about making things "perfect". I'm just having fun with a fun car. Just like I have fun on my bikes!

 

I may take off the side skirts tonight! Here's a pic of the biggest hole in front.

The rear bumper holes are pretty low and non visible unless you are short or kneel down.

Oh yea..The lips add drag. Car feels like a bullet going through wind now..before it felt like boxy...rightfully so.

 

That's not too terrible.

Still weird to see a sport without lips, when I had my base GD I wanted all the adds I could find haha.

 

Tried to take off one side skirt last night and saw that there will be holes in the side of the car... and you would need to jack the car up to take off the mounting brakets.... so this is a no go. Too much work for little reward I guess...

The holes in the front and back bumper are pretty subtle and can pass as blemishes from parking. The holes in the rear are super low and clean drilled holes they are almost unnoticeable. Just the front you have 2 big ones on each corner, but down there there a bit going on so you can overlook those holes easily as well. I don't think I can accept the side holes though.

The sport body kit looks good and fit the times circa early 2000's - 2008. But today 2016, most cars look bulky with sharp boxy jagged edges. I guess my taste has evolved to a more conservative and clean look than that of 8 years ago.

 

Took the wing off. Just used Electrical Tape for now to cover up the holes.

 

 

Pluggin Things Up!

I got a bunch of Honda Bumper Plugs from Amazon from Prev. Project. so why not. I just use electrical tape and wrapped the hidden part to give it a snug fit.

For the two outter bolt holes... I use a small piece of electrical tape and shoved it down a bit but not too far that I can't get out with tweezers. Just to stop the water from coming in.I'll look for some button head screws later...
