600grit is good. thats what i typically use before i paint. 1K grit is like a piece of paper and takes a very long time sanding.LOL

if your scared of scratches you can always promote and primer them and then sand them with finer sand paper if you wish for the smoothest look. but IMO 600grit is just fine. you can always try and paint the one medium trim piece with 600 and the other piece with the 1K grit and paint them both and see if you can see a difference. i dont think you will be able to

 

I vote Type R lip. Ive always thought the one you have is rather large.

 

id say this is completey your preferance, as addiction said, but i like yours you have on your car, yours is the only one ive seen with it.

 

still undecided whether to go with type r or my tsunami T1 front lip. i actually had a couple people that commented and pm'd me saying they like it and asked me about it. the type r gives my car a cleaner look and i can also get the type r rear lip also, to get the full lip kit look. for the current lip it give the front end a more aggressive look, which i kind of like.

 

IMO i like the OEM lip. but that costs quite a bit of $$$ even used
next thing i buy for my civic will be fog lights.

 

im getting my civic painted soon and i ordered new molding to replace a broken piece and a missing piece so do you think they come paint ready or should they be sanded and primered first?

 

i dont think they come ready to be painted. i think they come as the normal black plastic.

 

i guess i'll just look when they get here but the sanding and everything wont be too hard

 

still you need to do it. when i got my new plastic bumper for my civic i just cleaned it down with some strong cleaner and primered and sealed it and well 5-6omnths later i could spray off most of the primer/sealer with a normal garden hose!
so unless you want to do it all over again in a few months... go the extra mile and make it last!

 

yeah ill make sure of that, cant wait
