I have been wanting to black chrome my housings but that is apparently hard to do and do it evenly. If I ever decide to pull them apart again, I might try it.

Ah ok. I used the night shades for my reflectors too. Your pic editing made it seem like the whole housing was slightly tinted

Have you put rear spacer with your wedssport?

Would like to know?

Since I rolled the front fenders, there is no more rubbing and our roads are terrible around here. On a nice smooth surface, it's no issue.

The front tire size is stock and I wouldn't want to go with a 35 as I like the meaty look of rubber on my rim.

I did end up going with a +15mm spacer on the back to make them a 0 offset wheel. I would like my rear to sit a tad bit lower (maybe 1/4 inch) and to do that I'm going to take out one of the perch rings.

I'll probably do this next week... I'll put more pics of it then.

Thanks!

I looks like he went with a 15mm spacer in the rear.

Thanks Kaien..

Yes, I have a +15mm spacer in the back with the 10.5 +15, making it a +0.

Just got back from IA 2011 and the Alabama roads destroyed my new Stillen lip... AGAIN!

So not I'm lipless once again... and I don't know which one I want now. I'm certainly not going to spend a ton of money to only have it get destroyed. I guess it's a good thing the Stillen lips are inexpensive. :-/

But... I did manage to get this shot before the carnage.

More updates coming soon I guess...

Yea!! Time to change it up! My second front lip got smoked... again.. so idk what to do now!

TypeOne · 07-20-2011, 02:52 PM

The remains of my Stillen front splitter... #2.

Boost_lee · 07-21-2011, 02:38 AM

Wow, I just finished putting 11 bolts and washers on my Stillen lip. I felt reassured until now...

Rolling shot is sick!

TypeOne · 07-21-2011, 10:37 AM

If it makes you feel any better... what was bolted on didn't come off...lol

Sigh... I don't know what I'm going to do now. I guess it was a sign that the Stillen lip just wasn't right for my car. I guess I'll be off to destroy more expensive ones then.

:-/

On a side note, I did find my car on a cool online blog.

Word! stickydiljoe.com! Check it out!

Boost_lee · 07-21-2011, 11:54 AM

Hey I know sticky, joey had a clean *** cb accord. Good blog too

TypeOne · 07-22-2011, 10:32 AM

Yea he did... back in the day! Now he rolls around with a bagged Infiniti...

I torn as to what lip to get now.. any suggestions?

Boost_lee · 07-22-2011, 12:00 PM

If you want a lip that is not lower than the bumper, the evo r one is stock height just sticks out farther. Not sure of you like that lip, but it might new one of the few that won't hit the ground

TypeOne · 07-22-2011, 01:28 PM

Mehhh yea... not really a big fan of it. I really like the Mines or the Top Secret lip but damn, I'd die if I ripped one of those things off.

delusional · 07-22-2011, 05:28 PM

one of the guy over here had 3 Stillen lip and he just recently got an Evo-R and he says it doesn't scrape at all unlike the Stillen one which scrapes everywhere. so thats something you could try. i think it looks just as great too
