Lol

It's a Korean thing.

I have 2 sets of headlights that I'm still working on.

I have a future partner but don't worry hans and dev. I'm the only one working on yours!!!

So about a month ago I actually caved in before I could save up the money for wheels and bought a kit lol. Wanted to roll in the revscene meet not looking so stock, little did I know that it would take a month to get here since they say that shipping time is only a few days.. :shakes head: Picked it up from the states and got it installed 1.5 weeks after the meet lol. Carbon fiber front lip, sideblades, and frp rear because I'm planning to get a cf diffuser in the future :)

Looks kinda funny on stock wheels.. I definitely regret getting the kit before the wheels now because the front lip is so freaking low.. tried using wooden board but still can't get in my garage yet :( Retarded driveway slant

Looks nice man. I know the feeling. I have the same kit you have and I'm on stock height too. Still rub everywhere. You're lowered right? You might need to change your set up if you wanna be able to get around. That front lip is crazy low!!! I was gonna lower it but hell no. Lol

.c2 08-30-2012 01:43 AM

Haha yeah same kit as you, except you have the entire sideskirt right? Yeah the lip is retarded low.. I'm lowered about 1.3 inches or so to get rid of the finger gap. I reallllly don't want to raise my car but might have to... Going to get a longer piece of wood first so I can get into my garage and I guess I'll just see if I can somehow survive at this height lol

gabo 08-30-2012 12:43 PM

you might be able to get in your garage but you wont be able to get anywhere else man. It will no longer be a daily driver car because of low it is. 1.3 inches?? wow. that low with that lip is gonna suck for you. Just trying to give you the heads up so you dont damage your beautiful brand new lip

Cafiax 08-30-2012 01:38 PM

:( I want to lower mine too. the wheelgap bothers me now and then. sigh... the scraping at stock height sucks. I have found out that a can of clearcoat and a fine sand paper became essential.

:iagree:

I might try lowering mine maybe just .5 and see how much more i rub.
might be able to get away with it :ugh2:

Sena 08-31-2012 02:10 AM

Just slam it. Drop another 1" and see what happens!!!

.c2 08-31-2012 07:14 AM

Well looks like I'll be raising the front a little bit.. just hard scraped the living sh*t out of the front lip today trying to get into the parking lot of the gelato place by Richmond Centre. Stuck on a speed bump, then just backed out and just parked beside the building... Proceeded to scrape my lip and exhaust on the way out of the little bump lol. The joys of having ~7cm clearance on the front lip :(

Cafiax 08-31-2012 02:33 PM

^ouchhh. yeah :( richmond speedbumps are skinny but tall. hate it.

exactly. Just do tests. lower it only .5 and drive it for couple days see if you can get away with it without rubbing.

Its a really nice lip but downside is how low it is. :shakes head:

Sena 08-31-2012 09:00 PM

That lip is awfully low. Up up up.

.c2 08-31-2012 11:12 PM

IT CLEARED :happydance::happydance::happydance:

Barely. For now I am super happy lol, but in the future I'm probably going to have to raise it :( Sigh and before I got the lip I was complaining that my coilovers didn't lower the car enough, since my old civic was able to tuck some tire while still having ~14mm clearance on the front lip from the ground

gabo 09-01-2012 07:55 PM

lol nice. it cleared. But how are you gonna get everywhere else? carry peaces of wood in your trunk? haha

.c2 09-04-2012 03:44 AM

Lol I can angle in mooost places.. On speed bumps I don't scrape my lip but I do scrape my exhaust :( If I angle it properly. Been scraping my lip a lot the past few days though.. want to raise it but then I would have to raise the rear as well or else it'll look uneven :( Lowest point of the front lip, on even ground. I really don't understand why they had to make the lip so low on the side but higher up in the middle, why can't they just have made it the same height all around so the sides won't scrape on everything

Grand opening of my uncle's detail shop :) Parked my car beside a bunch of luxury cars that was on show for sh*ts and giggles.

gabo 09-04-2012 07:00 PM

yeah i dont understand why eather but is still a really nice lip though.
the clearance of my lip is also an iphone but standing up and your is laying down. thats why you're still scrapping. Also you should check the side skirts. i think they are even lower than the front lip. check the point close to the rear tires. You'll know what i mean

gabo 09-04-2012 07:01 PM

btw, can we get good deals at your uncles detail shop?

I dont have the same sideskirts as you haha mine are the sideblades that attach underneath the stock sideskirt. Iirc you have the shine one right? If my sideskirt was lower than my fromt lip I'd be in a lot of trouble haha

Thanks! When it was up on a lift I saw huge scrape marks on the resonators near the cats. I could of sworn I heard scraping near the rear of my exhaust but have yet to see any marks other than on the resonator

yeah i have the full shine kit and the side skirts are lower than the lip. You wouldnt even be able to get it in your garage if you had it lol.

and how much are you planning to raise it?

.c2 09-11-2012 01:53 AM

Think I might stay at this height, starting to get used to driving around so low haha.

Does anyone here want the full stock catback for $25? Not too sure what else to do with it

.c2 09-16-2012 10:06 PM

Starting to do some sound deadening.. Ordering test pipes a few days from now :)

Does anyone know how to take off the rear fog light thing? I bought an OEM rear fog light since my US imported Z doesn't have one, but I can't figure out how to get the bolts off. It just spins and spins.. I've tried heating it up but doesn't work :/ All help is greatly appreciated!

Sena 09-18-2012 01:41 AM
