If I could tuck rubber, I would. :P
Static drop. Maybe some day I'll get coil-overs!
But a 2 finger gap is a huuuuuge improvement over double-fisting.

So as it sits... side skirts are almost ready to go on.
Waiting on my new rear bumper so I can mount the rear lip (88-89 Si lip)
Picked up a PC680 new for $150 locally, figuring out how I'm doing the wiring, relocated to the trunk! Getting a box made!
ECU is in the mail, awaiting chipping.
Wire tuck is DONE. Headlights, signals, wipers, done. All works, first try!
Made sure it ran before sending out the ECU.
Sway bar might be good to tackle. xD

I'll ***** my little hatch tomorrow.

oh, my bad! I thought those were coilovers you posted, but now I went back and took a second look...

and btw, aren't coilovers considered "static"? I had thought up until now the only thing not considered static were bags... and I'd never bag a honda, unless it was an accord wagon.

looking good tho, man! great progress!

that is how much ek side skirts must be trimmed in order to fit. keeping the flare, mounting upside down.

It should not matter that the intake pipe touches the spark wires.

Dropped off the fenders, bumpers, hood, and fillers to get painted. Took me a YEAR to get the proper rear bumper as a replacement through insurance! So brutal! Oh well...

Also I think I might ditch the mudflaps and just run skirts and lips. thoughts??? it's really hard to decide.

ive never been a huge fan of the mud flaps except on black cars because it just blends in, not that it looks good. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Insurance is so helpful /sarcasm
