Thanks, im working on getting either a front lip or a new bumper... And i will paint the rear in the next month or so, i just need to get more paint. The side skirts were silver and the grille was black so i decided to paint those first and i ran out of paint... If i keep the 99-00 front bumper i will probably do the type r lip like yours. They sell for like $45 shipped on ebay so i might just go for it. How did you trim off the extra peice in the middle?

used a saw. fixed the lip on a table with some metal strap looking thing lol so it wouldnt move... then sawed the top part off.
my bumper is now cracked almost a foot long . im getting a new bumper tomorow, its gonna be black and since trying to fit the lip on my bumper was hard and we were 2 doing it ,i thought about instead of putting it on the bumper like any lip is supposed to be, ill put it under the bumper. ill screw it in (screw the top of the lip to underneath the bumper.). but then for the little slit thats gonna be between the lip and the bumper im gonna put some paste and sand it so it would look like a one piece. then of course paint it.
plus its gonna be lower so +1 point for me lol the look is gonna be nicer. IMO well i hope lol

still have some small touchups to be done but its 95% done.
What kind of car is that? That doesnt look like a protege a/c system, strut towers, P/S lines
Haha, it's not. It's actually a Millenia. Jonridinhi and I pulled the engine and stripped everything else off the car. He's hoping to put it in his MP3 (I think I put all this in the wrong thread...sorry about that). So sort of a "what did you do to your Protege" haha.
Here's Jon messing around after we finished pulling just about the last bolt on the entire thing.

Painted my rims black and red lip heres before and after pic
Bought the wrong clear caot can..lucky me it was a clear with "flakes" gives them a nice finish . I got a construction light over the rim to show it but it doesnt appear THAT much with regular lighting . First time i ever do this

Looks so fresh and clean, I forgot how small the 1.6l is in the engine bay.

Those look so much better, great job.
I am putting my AFPR on today for the KLZE to hopefully get a bit more top end out of the ol' girl.
