unfortunately he crashed the car 2 weeks after he painted it and installed it :P but he got a new CF hood outta the deal

 

i heard i've been summoned to help. the way i installed my mugen, the two screws in the front showed, as did the ones on the side. the only way to hide the stainless screws is to actually paint them. there is another alternative though, its just alot more time consuming. what one of my friends did was to epoxy the entire lip to the bumper so there were no screws. then he bondo'd the seams so that the lip looked just like it was part of the bumper. just something to think about if you want to be a perfectionist

 

thanks for the heads up....
yea i spoke to the guy the installed it for me and he thought the same thing "epoxy"
but its cool hes going to touch it up with some paint this weekend and at the same time spray my front bumber so I can get rid of all the lil rock chips it has. He also painted my side skirts so its starting to look real good..
JUst not sure now if I want to keep the rims that I have or go with 17". I hae the stock 5 star rims that came with the 2004-2005 civic looks good but not sure if I wanna rol with them... Maybe if I drop the car some it'll look better....
What'cha think, should I go with 17" or stick to the stocks?

Thanks for info guys.......

 

If you're gonna leave those 2 screws in to hold the lip, now that they're in, you can remove 1 at a time and cut a bit off the end so that it won't stick out so much. then just put a bit of touch-up paint on the cut ends of the screws. (Remember, gotta keep that clean for that future INTERCOOLER......hehehe!)

 

haha future intercooler indeed haha cant have anything blocking the full view of it..

Actually it does not stick out too much just the head of it so paint should cover it up nicely...

 

You're all set then! [sm=gears.gif]

If you have the cash, def go with the 17's. It should handle a bit better with em.

 

cool thanks let me see what I can come up with

 

yea 17's are the perfect size for a civic
