Front Lip Only (My road to a Lip Kit)

Bought it for 200$ yesterday. Its pretty banged up, but will be repainted as soon as I get the other sides.

Enjoy.

the black headlights on the white cars is just insane.. i should do this to my accord.

sorry if i sound like a broken record.. if worse comes to worst. just buy from the dealer.. they still have sides and rear in Taffetta white, if thats what you have.. WDP in rear...

I'm just messing with ya. I'm rolling stock look from now on. The TL will be my beater. NSX is next on my list for 2010.

The car is looking great. Love the white. That kit will eliminate that mudguard unless you modify it to fit the kit. Would be unique.

Thats not my neighborhood But it is my garage. So good luck./

Ya I have a job, I detail cars around a couple of neighborhoods by my house, but since my dad makes me pay for my insurance I barely have any money for this stuff. But yah, this used to be my sisters car, but she switched for a Yaris.

I had a perfect opportunity to buy the whole kit from Tam.

200 bucks is nothing compared to having the satisfaction of being 1/4 of the way there. you gotta pay to play.

i just spent 180 for an intake...I already had one, but it was time to change

I wish I could mooch off my parents. I'm stuck at working 2 jobs and cleaning windows on the side to make money to get by and mod to the car.

P.S. The car looks really good
