weirdly enough those are my best updated pics lol molded civic lip to my new bumper
first time doing this kind of work. tell me what you think.

then made some touch ups (yes its super smooth just ugly as hell lol)

im now scratching everywhere. and i love it
in my signature the lip was on the bumper now its under it. 2 inch lower.

 

[Scorch03]

looks way better man, lovin it.

how did you get it lower alikarim90 also when i saw the first picture of the lip on the 99-00 protege thread i thought it didnt look too good but im starting to like it you did a good job
and ucMP3 is that the isposrt roof spoiler? it looks good as does your car
and sleezer i still love your car i love the styling

 

[alikarim90]

before it was on the lower portion of my old bumper. so it wasnt really lower...it was just more stylish...
then when i got my new bumper i screwed it under the bumper ...gave me about 2 inch lower.
then i molded it.

this shows it better : (pic1-before...pic 2 during...pic 3 presently)

and sleezer i still love your car i love the styling

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I think once I lower it it will really pull everything together better as well...

 

[bullshark524]

alikarim90 now i see what you mean. and you did a great job making a smooth transition between the lip and bumper
sleezer i dont know about that im lovin the non lowered look. but if you think it will make it look better i think it will too seeing as you've been spot on with your styling so far. how are you lowering it coilovers? and when is it going down. pun intended

 

[Sleezer1533]

Hopefully ill be doing it next summer. Not going the coilover route, seems like Tociko HP struts and Tein S-Tech springs will give me the drop/performance I want. I dont want to slam it, but I think it will look much better with the wheel gaps cleaned up, especially the front.

 

[alikarim90]

tokico hp with teins tech is the best setup ! i have it very confy i can assure you that. gives a nice look also.
and handling is just awesome.

I only heard one bad thing once about the HPs and that was that they are a tad bit bouncy. Have you experienced that at all?

 

[alikarim90]

bouncy ?? not at all they are perfect. i would recommend them anytime to anyone.
i got heavy ass 17'' rims and 2 inch drop and our streets here in montreal are bad full of potholes and it drives great ! i have nothing to say on it.
best upgrade ive done so far on my protege

 

[justanothermp5]

yea i got the Hp's on ground control coilover sleeves...i wouldnt say bouncy, more like stiff
but thats from my coilover sleeves, not the struts lol
