That lip would look tight on an Ek civic! On the realz, I'm having mixed emotions... better then no lip, but I'd prefer a stock 92 lip over this. Either way, good work getting that thing to fit on the SC body, your the first i've seen do this.

*The first lip I mean.


Sometimes I almost like the 92/94 bumper better.

It's just that this forum gets ignorant or nazish at times with the way they think about hondas. Fact is with whatever car that is out there, there's going to be people that know how to mod it and people that don't know how to mod it.
Very acurrate statement. I have seen some modded Hondas that were the total shyte...really sweet! But unfortunatley, many of the modded ones are really riced out, and sound like they have fart cans on the back of them...Again, no dis intended. I just believe that one should mod any car in taste. Of course, many people have diffferent tastes, so I do understand. That is why I like the V8 so much, it sounds awesome when modded, and the torque is downright nasty...

I know that with the aging SC300/400, many more very young people are buying it and attempting to mod it. Many of these guys are previous Honda owners. I think that they mostly get quite surprised when they find out how much it costs to take an average condition or worse 10 to 16 year old SC that has miles on it and just get it back to stock condition. While it is a definite step up to own a Lexus, it costs much more money to mod and to maintain than a 4 cylinder Honda. Plus the after market has thousands of parts for Hondas, while there are practically none for the SC, especially the SC400.

While I respect anybody that mods their SC, it is disappointing to see some of the stuff that comes out on it...Probably mainly due to a lack of funds to mod it nicely, so it gets modded to the best of the pocketbook of the owner doing the modding. Oh well, at least they try...Gotta give them that.

So, I guess I would say just keep modding, and if you like it, then that is all that really matters...
