Just my opinion..assuming you spent the money on the front and rear mudguards and skirt accents...I would of spent the money and bought some full sideskirts. Besides that car looks good.

The price for the skirts and to have them shiped and then painted was more then what i had. Pluse i like the look of the aero setup withe the front lip. I will have it droped and inch or two soon.

It is a rep. of the burnout front lip from visracing.com. It has a good fit. I didnt have to do anything to it but paint it.

The exhaust is the greddy sp2. Like i said before the front lip fits great. On my 92 prelude that i had owned, i had bought all my fiberglass body pieces from them and they all have mixed fits. On the lude i had to take off the reinforced metal bumber because the new one wouldnt fit over it. The z3 fenders had some miner problems with the bottom parts and the top parts not lineing up right. The side skirts fit fine. So did the back bumber i had. My dad and I had installed the body kit on the lude. when it was done there were minor issues with the fitment. Like the headlights not being flush with the front bumber. But it still looked good. I saved alot of money doing it my self then having it done my a body shop. So to me it is a hit or miss when buy from them. It would depend on what part you will get and if you will install it or a body shop. The reason I go with them is because my local tuner shop use that company. Also I had istalled on my lude a carbon fiber hood from them and the fit was good but not great. It stuck up a little bit on the sides.
Here are pics of the my RICED out lude. Yes I was dumb back in those days.

Car looks good, not too big a fan of the back.

If you get the emblem taken off the front it really will change the look of the car a lot more and make the new grille stick out more. If you were going to do anything else, that's what I would do.

When I took the front bumber off I hadnt noticed if the front badge was held on by tabs or glue. How is it held there? Thanks for all the comments. I love the lude but it was an old car and was starting to fall apart here and there. I ended up wanting somethig eles. Thats why I got the 8.
