Thank you DHL!

My CTR FD2 front lip arrived today. its not painted yet but tell me what you think w/ it on the car. I was thinking of painting the sides of it the color of the car and leaving the center black. could some photoshop a pic of what that would look like? thanks.

Don't paint it. It looks nice as is IMO
Instead, maybe get HFP suspension

interesting thought. oh, and I have the Mugen suspension, but I might just switch out the springs.

it was $400 at Jracing. Aslo although its a Mugen Si, it has the CTR front conversion so you would need that also for this to fit.

Nothing, actually, I just resigned from my job to be a full time grad student. However, I do a little of substituting for schools on days that I'm not too lazy. I start my career job in the fall as a teacher. How I have this money to spend on my car? well lets just say I saved and saved for the last two years and put that money in my car fund. in the end it came out to about 10 grand. I just waited for the right time to spend it all at once. but anyways, what do you guys think of this pic. this is a quick photoshop of what I was talking about.

that is how I got my car. I saved up my money and then bought a new car. I have not worked very much since I got my car and am still able to make payments without a problem. I am a college student, so it is very difficult for me to work and still concentrate in school. All my friends are struggling to pay for everything, while I do not work and still have a nice car. I love my life! I think u should paint the sides and leave the middle black like u photoshopped it

congrats! And there is nothing wrong w/ doing it our way. some people like to buy their mods little by little and some buy them all at once. I just dont want anyone to think that I'm some spoiled rich kid or anything.
