Very nice car, you should post up some more pics. All that nice body work shaving the back of the car and we don't even get to see it.

From what did you craft that front lip out of? Also, can you expand on the bastard 14b/20g conversion?

Thanks guys! I was lucky and got it already shaved and painted. The lip was actually fitted from an early 90s accord. I think it turned out pretty decent /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif the 14b was converted to a bastard 20g from turbo labs. In my honest opinion they did a fantastic job on the conversion. I will take more pics once it's a little nicer out and I clean it back up.

Yup! Coop did a fantastic job making this car as nice as it is. This is now my 7th vr4 and I absolutely love everything about this one. I'm gonna shoot for a conservative 350 to 400whp and call it a day lol

Cough, cough, come on Mike give me some credit here. I did show westin how to do it. lol.

It's a 94-95 accord rear bumper lip. Front lips are feasible but the sides don't extend as far, so it won't cover the whole side as much. After some junkyard trips I found the rear pieces to be the best fitting and easiest to install. It comes in three pieces and don't bother buying new from the dealer. You'll spend a good penny for them.

I know why Mike doesn't wanna show the trunk just yet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
