Looks pretty good so far. I didnt realize they were just puttin the skin of the new one on the old one. Make sure the wheel well lines meet up thats half of what makes some bodykits look like ****. You might as well get it molded while your at it too if your not.

they are using top part of the OLD bumper and molding it with the new one.
so it will be like OEM fit.

dont even listen to people who dont like it... they sound like most of the old muscle car guys who dont like tuners... they run their mouth for nothing. well tuners is new, muscle cars are sweet but more people are gettin into tuning cars instead of muscle so when people are tuning up a unique car people say its "ricey"...
gucci interior on a racing car someone said? are you dumb... go look at some of the show cars that have body kits and stuff really nice ones have gucci interior.. just because its not a civic doesnt mean it doesnt need a body kit

i like the front end it looks pretty good

I bet it will look nice I debated doing something like this myself but i'm way to careless when I park and would crack a fiberglass bumper. Still love your mods and am planning on doing the blacked out head lights with hopefully a BIXENON retrofit.

definitely looks alot better than i'd imagined.

what happens if you break the front bumper? Sounds like it'll be very costly to replace

that body kit is expensive to buy.
but good thing about fiberglass is its always repairable.
if its a minor crack i can fix it wit fiberglass but if the bumper falls n breaks apart then i need to get it fixed professonally but the kit is not that low so it wouldnt be a big problem

thanks.
after hearing all the haters doubting my mods. i was kind of scared that it might come out uglie but honestly it i think its coming just like i expected.

it sucks to have no car to drive tho.
i cant wait to visit next week n check it out after they mold the kit to the bumper.

mean while check out one of his work.

Nissan Altima with my body kit.

now now don't tease .....

vip & vip style came about because of people trying this kind of thing and anyone who is giving you hassles needs to remember that and stop being so single minded.
All it takes is imagation and style which we can already see you have from your pic's


ps what kit are you using ?or have you covered this
