I have a carbon fibre hood on my civic and I found a front carbon fibre lip that I think would look really good. My question is what do you think I should do with the back bumper and side skirts? I just can't picture what would look best, I want a whole new back bumper (not just a lip) and I want side skirts that will look good with the front lip and back bumper. Any suggestions?

 

swell they make carbon fiber side skirts and rear bumper lip, it think if you got those to it would look great. its kinda expensive tho so be willing to drop some cash

 

i think a CF front lip would match the hood well, but i'd prolly leave it at that. OEM side skirts and then a rear lip painted to match for hte other two.

 

^ +1.. just keep the stock sides/rear bumper

also, if you want some extra carbon on the front end (assuming you have/plan to get oem fogs), password:jdm makes carbon fiber fog light covers

 

The piping for the intercooler is in the way to have foglights.
My rear bumper has a crack in it and I'd like to change it anyways. Maybe I can find side skirts and a rear bumper that have similar style and just use them with a front CF lip. The car is getting painted soon so i wanna get my exterior mods finished asap.
Thanks for the advice

 

yeah thats a problem that i encountered also when i had my turbo kit installed. Piping was in the way on 1 side so i was kinda pissed off but it looks a better with out them and with a FMIC.

 

Agreed*

 

That's what I get for not reading your sig[8D]

Anyway, I don't think you'll find many side skirts that match up with the height of the front bumper (even with a lip)... most are way too low to look good with just a front lip. I'm fairly sure the rear bumper would be the same thing (way too low for the stock front).

Maybe get a set of EK skirts (keep them black) and a rear lip (also black)?

 

I was thinking a new stock rear bumper (since mine's cracked) and put this lip on it?


And a front lip like this:


Then I was thinking either just some wings west side skirts or Seibon Carbon fibre side skirts if I wanna drop the cash. I'm also going to install Tein Basic Damper Coilover System so I can raise it high enough that I wont rip off my lipkit.
The carbon fibre side skirts seem to be really expensive, do you think it would look ok with some ABS side skirts and front+rear CF lips? Then the side skirts will get painted with the rest of my car?

 

mmm... spoon front lip

I think the lips would look great, and I say paint the skirts like a gloss black or something. And be careful; I'd think ABS plastic would be a bit fragile, and skirts are usually the things that scrape the most.
