Bendrums87 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 plain and simple... who likes front lips on sol's... I am considering a mugen lip but i am not completely sold... i would paint it the same color as the rest of the car though... so i guess... lip or no lip? and if lip.. what style?

Bendrums87 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Brians lip is the sh*t. check his build thread out for pics. http://www.hondaforu...w-build-thread/ and yes, you need a lip if you ain't going for a kit. yeah i want the front to be a LITTLE lower to the ground but I don't want to dirty it ALL up with a kit.. i am a fan of CLEAN and stock primarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sounds like a lip is just what you need. Post up a pic of your car so we can see what you're working with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post up a pic of your car so we can see what you're working with. haha well the car in my default pic is the one i am working on... but it's a HUGE work in progress... I ran into some money troubles (haven't we all) so the sol went on the back burner for a few weeks... but i posted a bunch of pics of how it started my first post .... it looks a TON better now... and I am in the process of changing out some of the exterior stuff that I had found was damaged and had been bondo'd and painted over incorrectly... but yeah... the front and rear bumpers are being replaced when i get the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02civicsi02 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Definitely do the lip, lip kits are always a great exterior mod. Im not the one for body kits, i think they are ugly and ricey no offense to anyone that has one. But i would say get the mugen lip kit. I am going to put the mugen lip kit for my car on my ep3.

BuddySol Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I had an OEM Civic lip on my Sol...until the freeway took it from me. I'm still looking for a replacement...if anyone see's one let me know. I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendrums87 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 i think it's unanimous then... i just don't like full body kits cause it's so expensive and so much work involved to get damaged by road debris and curbs and all that crap... if i got a lip though I think i would fiberglass it to form the bumper instead of just being on there by itself at the bottom that way it looks like a custom body kit but it's just a lip....

BrIaN EG2 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 LIP IT!!! the mugen lip looks good on the sol, i have a friend on post that has a championship white sol with the polyurithane "mugen" lip and it looks GREAT.. but keep it black.. IMO painted lips dont look soo great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelSolSweetie Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 leaving them black look good on some cars.. for a cleaner look i'd go painted so it looks like it came that way (aka prestons car) in the end its your car.. do what you want with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrIaN EG2 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 i just think it looks better black because it follows with the black side skirts and the black little lip on the back bumper.. ^ IMO still doesnt look too good, even though that sol is fugly but sarah is right.. it is your car and you can do what you want.. i just think it flows better when its black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallhamer88 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 i would get the rest of your car fixed first and yes leave it black type r lip is tits if its plastic leave if its fiberglass paint it.. Paint doesnt stick to plsatic very good and it fades alot easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
