The joys of having ~7cm clearance on the front lip
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.

IT CLEARED



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

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.

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

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

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

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!
